  • The Beach (Rehab9)

    The Beach (Rehab9)

    For today’s rehab clinic, I was able to go back to Maroubra Beach in the morning, and it was a much sunnier day so I was able to get some nice colour in the shots. My plan was to try to capture some of the waves breaking on the rocks. I’ve taken all of these…

  • How do you like your tea?

    How do you like your tea?

    I’m a little late joining Justine’s Tea Time musings, but hopefully she doesn’t mind ☺️ As some of you know, I’m definitely a coffee drinker but coffee on planes is not so nice usually so I began drinking tea. It’s pretty standard – English breakfast. However, I have learnt from my mama and prefer leaf…

  • Long days, photo two ways (Rehab8)

    Long days, photo two ways (Rehab8)

    Waiting. Trapped behind glass. Desperate to enter. Denied. The light will conquer the darkness. Waiting. With so many hours of my time spent waiting in airports and sitting on planes, I have really enjoyed flicking through my photos and playing with editing techniques. This photo was taken kind of at random in a coffee shop…

    View from Above (Rehab6)

    It was another big day today. A very late night last night (I forgot I was on daylight savings time) and an early start today. I sacrificed breakfast for sleep and just stopped off for a coffee on the way to the office. We had meetings all day at work, plus a meeting after work then…

    Beachy Views (Rehab5)

    I was up at 5am today for a flight to Sydney and spent the afternoon seeing customers at Westmead Children’s Hospital. It’s now almost midnight and I need to go to bed! After work today, my head was cloudy and I felt like I needed to decompress. The plan was to have dinner with friends…

    Thank goodness there are a few new prompts/challenges floating about. Check out the tags “#eclectic corner” and “#just thursday” – such fun! Lucile at bridging lacunas has started a photo101 rehab clinic for us to continue posting a photo a day. Please join in! So, my photo above. I took this photo while travelling in the…

  • Melbourne Food – Yum!

    Melbourne Food – Yum!

    I was on a flight recently where the captain advised that it was a fully air-conditioned flight and we should make sure to keep all the doors and windows closed – LOL. Here are a couple of photos from this current trip to Melbourne. We went to two of my favourite restaurants while I was…

  • One of my QT Favourites.

    One of my QT Favourites.

    Today, I wanted to share with you one of my favourite photos. I get a “feeling” from it, and isn’t that what this art of photography is all about 😉. To me, this one has an air of romance about it, a dreamy quality that I really respond to. We’ve discussed colour versus black&white images…

  • Photo101(20): Triumph Finding my Heritage.

    Photo101(20): Triumph Finding my Heritage.

    When I saw that today’s brief was “Trumph”, I really didn’t know what to do, until I read the description. I realised that we should pick a moment of triumph in our life – something that made us feel triumphant. I went to the UK for two weeks for work recently and I had a…

  • Photo101(18): Edge of Lifou.

    Photo101(18): Edge of Lifou.

    I had to choose between photography and a hot stone massage this evening and, well… I chose the massage. It was amazing, really worth it. Anyway, I have some shots here, taken in an abandoned unfinished house in Lifou in the South Pacific. This was particularly challenging for today’s brief, because the building isn’t exactly…

  • Perth Stay  : Fraser Suites.

    Perth Stay : Fraser Suites.

    I travelled to Perth last week for 3 days, to visit with clients I haven’t seen since February, and more importantly, since I moved to a new company in April. I have something like a “kinship” with Perth, having spent A LOT of time there over the last 9 years. It’s a lovely city, with…

    Photo101(15): Landscapes of Queenstown.

    I wasn’t able to get out and about today to take some photos for Landscapes. However, I had a fantastic holiday recently in New Zealand – we went to the snow in Queenstown. It was my first time in this beautiful city and I absolutely loved it. I went with two very good and lovely friends…
