Young and old

Finally popped some photos on a blank wall today: a couple of B&W landscapes I took in Hartley.

It's also missy-moo's birthday sleepover - well, that's tonight, but her friend is over here and they're having a great time.

Also today, I started creating a photo book about my return to karate-do - from which you see a couple of pages here. In the doing, I pulled out the copies I have of the photos waipushrink took of a young me, including this one, shortly after I achieved the rank of shodan (literally first, or lesser, level - but there are the various colored grades before this first black belt level).
