Another cannon, mounted on the waterfront at Williamstown, Victoria - a historic seaport by Austalian standards.

...and another cannon, this time from the Tower of London.

OOOh Dot Welcome! Where were you?

The walls of the Tower of London.

Thanks for the welcome! I've been spending a lot of time with my sister since the loss of my nephew earlier in the year.

Here's another wall, not quite Tower of London but my own kitchen wall!

Another creepy-crawly, this one is a little further away from the brick wall:

This giant creepy crawly is outside the Art Gallery in Ottawa.

More flags. Fishing boats at Malvan on the west coast of India.

Again a nautical flavour; a cargo vessel glides up Melbourne's shipping channel, dwarfing the little craft at their moorings.

From shipping channel in Melbourne to dry dock in Walvis Bay, Namibia.

From big "boats" to little ones ... here's my friend paddling in about 5 inches of water on the shoreline
of Patricia Lake in Jasper National Park (Alberta Canada).

There is no water in the Todd River (Alice Springs) for most of the year. But when it rains, flash floods can occur, as you can guess by the depth gauge on the side of the road. There is only a few inches of water in the river in this picture.

Inside the Sports Centre at the Olympic Park in Montreal.

From horizontal water to vertical water - Silverband Falls on Dairy Creek in The Grampians National Park, west of Melbourne.
The water disappears into the small pile of stones at the base of the falls, and the creek re-emerges from underground further downstream.

Following with waterfalls



This is the worlds tallest waterfall, Angel Falls in Venezuela, taken from the base camp during the rainy season.

Another waterfall, this time Niagara Falls from the Canadian side.

I love the rocks in your photo, Andrea.

The beach at Varadero, Cuba.

This sign was on a beach in Hermanus South Africa.

On a beach (briefly) near Puerto Plata, DR



The husband thinks he's a comedian and likes to make fun of my big feet.
Thankfully, not only is he keeping his day job, but a wave washed away all evidence about 30 seconds later.

From footprints to footwear. The Pope's shoes at Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto, Canada.

These sandals had served me well for a few years until there came a time when I had to throw them away, but I got a snap of them first.

"From footprints to footwear. The Pope's shoes at Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto, Canada"

Do you know, it was the Pope's shoes that led me to discover FunTrivia? Seriously!

We had not had our computer for very long when a friend phoned us to say that her son's teacher had assigned homework that required the children to use the internet to find out the answers to a list of questions. The questions were devised so that the answers could not be found by using the books in the library - you had to use the internet. My friend was very poor and did not have a computer, so she asked if her son could come around to use ours to do his homework and could I help him? Well, one of the questions he had to research was "What colour shoes does the Pope wear?" We googled the question and it led us to "Ask FunTrivia". And the rest, as they say, is history.

MG, a great example of serendipity.

I feel a new thread coming on....
I googled trivia games and found FT.

Here's another pair of favourite footwear - boots this time - that are for the scrap heap. The soles are flapping at the heel, and Precious reckons the laces are fair game
