OK, so here is my #introduction !

I live in the most isolated capital city in the world, #Perth , and therefore on Whadjuk #noongar boodja. I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the land, and their Elders - past, present, and emerging.

I am male (he/him), and married to the amazing artist @leece .

I have been a #Linux #Sysadmin for most of my professional life, and use Linux or derivatives exclusively at home.

For fun, I play #rpg games, and #boardgame . I also swim as a #mermaid (well, mer-dude), and ride a three-wheeled human-powered vehicle called a Me-Mover. I have a Hobie Outback pedal-powered kayak, which takes me back to my past as a Sea Scout on the Swan. I enjoy playing with #lego, #cooking, #preserving, and many, many other things.

I am #teetotal (and have been all my life) but love making mixed drinks, and have an extensive #zeroproof bar.

I am an amateur #photographer without any particular speciality, but I do particularly like taking shots of #birds (especially #raptors ), and other mer-folk. I also enjoy shooting #pinhole B&W, and play with in-camera #cyanotype (about which I have written extensively on my blog) . To round things out, I take quite a few #solargraph images.

For the past few years, I have been learning Nyoongar (primarily the Marribank).

Recently I have fallen into writing - you can find my two on-going tales as #CerianandVaranWar and #GwenAndGrey . You can also find links to all my stories here: https://rdmasters.lympago.com/p/microfic-and-tootfic-list.html

Here is a shot of me taken by the amazing @leece on #Wadjemap .

Photo from a previous trip to Wadjemap. It would be nice to be there today, it's a warm one with the East wind blowing. #mermaid #merswim #rottnest #wadjemap #mermaiding #merfolk @rdm You took a lovely photo, thank you!

And it has begun in earnest. Flourish, beautiful little ones. โค๏ธ

I'm not sure how long the show will last. Maybe 2 weeks so. If you're in the area, come by and have a look. ๐Ÿ˜Š

My Wadjemap (Rottnest Island) Daisies are almost in bloom, I'm thinking a week or two. But a few eager little buds have already peeped out to greet the world. ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ
