Just the…

A Few Tasks Completed
There’s so much to be done when you move interstate. So much paperwork, so many phone calls, online forms… It’s all necessary but finding the motivation to get it done is not so easy. But finally, I’ve done the major things: Paid off my car loan – woo hoo!! made an appointment for getting my…

Plant in the Park
I finally decided to take my camera with me to the park tonight and pottered around in amongst the trees and took some shots of this lovely plant. As usual I used my Olympus OMD EM5. I went out only with my 45mm (f/1.8, 90mm equivalent) lens with me. It’s not an everyday lens, but…

iPhriday – Bee Cool Baby
Just a quick iPhone snap when I was walking Miss Gidget one morning this week. We were in a hurry and I usually don’t take my phone – too many things to juggle. But I saw this bee, and I have a bit of a thing for bees, so there I was, one hand holding…

Favourite Things – Backpack
Many of you know that one of my favourite things is macro photography and I’m interested lately in practicing product photography. I love isolating a subject, as I’ve done before, here: I’ve stuck with predominantly white backgrounds but one of things I want to start investigating is other backgrounds. Separate to this, I’ve been addicted…

Cover Makeover 2016 – Week 1
As you know, Lucile and I stopped the PhotoRehab CoverMakeover at the end of last year. We were sad to stop it, but other commitments meant that we didn’t have time to do it justice. Luckily, Julz stepped up and took over for us and has re-launched the challenge. Please join her in this first…

iPhriday – Contemplating Life and Eternity
I have started taking a different route to work lately and I have discovered this bicycle rack with this same sign attached. It kind of makes you wonder which would be the worst eternal predicament – stuck in traffic, stuck on a bicycle or stuck trudging along the same old footpath. Which would you choose?…

iPhriday – The Pink Chicks
I’m finally able to join Lisa from GrayDaysandCoffee‘s iPhriday again! It’s been so long and I’m so happy to be back. One of the most important things in a girl’s life is her hairdresser and I’m no exception! My brilliant stylist and friend, Mel, has been giving my hair the fab-treatment for some 12 years…

A Housewarming Gift
I live in Melbourne, almost 2,000km from Brisbane, where I lived before. When I was looking for somewhere to live, it was difficult to do so from Brisbane. Online tools are very useful, but it’s just not the same as seeing the apartment in the flesh. Once I had found a place I liked (based…
