Photo storage online

I spent some time last weekend, joining online photo places:
like photobucket and yahoo, so we can share our faces.
I set up user names and sent up sample pix
and made up lists of what to do then emailed all the chicks
and guys who have a camera. They all have photos too
and in the past I had to ask for copies then I'd do
the webpage making and upload those pix and pages for them.
Now they're expected to upload their own to share and store them.

Cairns

We've been to Cairns and now returned
to winter rain and cold.
In Cairns the freeze had been adjorned
but drizzling rain was bold.
I thawed. I shopped. We drove a lot
we saw the cyclone damage...
the roofs and palm trees had been lopped.
I wondered how they manage.
We took a cat out to the reef,
Great Barrier Reef - Green Island.
And there we climbed into, beneath
a boat, to 'sub' and see sand.
The jelly fish were stingers so
we chose to not go snorkling,
instead we rode another boat
the kiwi host was chortling
about a whale they'd seen the day
before we went: a white one.
We'd seen a dark one on the way,
though humpback, not the right one.

Holidaze

It's been a week of sleeping in til noon;
reading books with magic in and googling
on gems and crystals. Buying moon-
stone in a point, jade and jasper, lapis earrings...

I've packed in preparation for a flight:
we're off to Cairns and sunshine; sanity.
I've googled things to do. We might
be tempted. And I've faked a tan in vanity.

It's been a week of waiting, holding on
to nothing-ness and knowing life's no song.
