2008: the year in pictures.

(UPDATED 1/1/09; more pictures added)

January

Australian Open: tennis on the lawn.


February


Forty celsius: herbs and succulents baking in late afternoon heat.


March


Mystery dish: Lasagne? Moussaka? Sweet potato layered with cheese sauce? Can’t remember. But the green thing in the middle is a basil leaf.


April


Instant circus: elephants dance on cans of peppers and beans.


Crescent moon: brittle sky on a cold late autumn evening, as seen from Merri Creek trail (moon right of centre, barely visible - click to enlarge).


May


Apprentice chef: Thomas with saucepans.


Downpour: Lygon Street in flood.


June


Birthday: William turns three.


Winter fun: Thomas reinvents library steps; clears shelves in search of favourite book. Mr Horse unimpressed.


July


Winter sun: lunch at Blairgowrie café: Tracy's hand and coffee obscured by giant cake serving.



August



Surf's up: early afternoon on a freezing Portsea ocean beach.


September


Snack time: two boys in a chair; Mr Owl looks on.


Storm: waves batter Point Lonsdale sea wall as obscured cargo ships heave across a spumy horizon.


October


Thomas turns two: chocolate sponge filled and topped with cream, strawberries and grated chocolate, a Tracy specialty.


November


From the Kitchen Hand observatory: stormy dusk in late spring.


Accurate to the day: the Travelling Poppies bloom without fail on November 11.


December


The week before Christmas: Thomas and pasta primavera.
