    Shoal Point Beach.

    It has been so dry here in Mackay. Well maybe that’s not the right way to put it. I’ve mentioned in some comments about how humid it is here – it’s usually about 30 degrees Celsius by 9am and sits at between 70 and 75% humidity. There’s a breeze off the ocean, but it’s a hot…

    The Trek North

    I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and holiday season so far. I did the long trek north in the car with my Dad a few days before Christmas. It was 1,064km and took us a little over 13 hours (see the map at the end of this post for a good idea of…

    Angles of Pink

    I’ve been asked by a couple of people how I get this very white background in my photos so I’ve written a tutorial on this, which you can find at Image Reboot #7. This is one of the buds I picked for my Trio post for the DP Weekly Photo Challenge. I had it in…

    iPhriday – I still have bugs!

    For those of you who were concerned that I may not have a garden and therefore not have access to the wonderful world of macro nature photography when I move to Melbourne – have no fear! I visited my new place after work one day this week and found a little friend on the terrace…

    This is the final chapter to my Dark Side story, still untitled. If you would like to start at the beginning, please first read here and then here and then here. It has been a while since my last instalment but I wrote three different endings on my flight home this week and this is kind…

  • A Moving Post (not really).

    A Moving Post (not really).

    I thought it was time I posted an update on how things are going with my impending move to Melbourne. I am still in the process of selling my house. Two separate families have made offers on my house, only to have their finances fall through. It’s a challenging time in Australia at the moment…

    Bathed in Yellow.

    This is another of the buds I had picked for my Trio post. This one had such a pretty centre so I had to photograph it. And then I had to play in Lightroom to see what I could make 😀 These laboratory experiments belong in the clinic: Photo101Rehab. x desleyjane

    Rounding the corner, all I could think about was getting home to a glass of wine and a very hot shower. It had been such a long day and I was tired of dealing with other people’s issues. I was reaching for my phone to check the time, when my foot landed on something hard…

    iPhriday – Sunset Glory & Disappointing Taylor

    It’s iPhriday! I’m joining Lisa at Gray Days and Coffee to post a smartphone photo every Friday. Will you join in? I have 2 photos this week, but I promise there’s a good reason. My friend and I were driving to dinner one night this week (he was driving) and we noticed how spectacular the…
