Three days away camping on Malcolm Island. Will tell more another day, but must share this. It was Mr. Kate’s birthday. Bush Boy was beside himself. I was moved almost to tears, and felt so privileged and so insignificant. They played in front of us for 45 minutes. These are four of about 100 photos, I just put the camera on burst and clicked while I watched.
