Teaching a Lesson
I had a favourite teacher at school, I was obsessed with his class. It was maths, and then advanced math subjects as well. I was very good at it and he told me so and he told the whole class. I realised that was why I liked him – I functioned very well on praise…

Express Yourself
For last week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, I thought I would share with you some photos to show you some of the work I did at home over Christmas. I’m so late with this post, considering that this week’s challenge has already been released and I’ve seen some great posts for it! Over the holiday break, I…

My Celery is Thirsty
So today I’m starting my new regular feature – Scientific Reasoning. You can read my reasoning behind starting this feature here. Today I am going to show you a science experiment that you can try at home – with your children or on your own. It’s fun, but also takes a while to run through, probably…

Colour No Colour
Just a quick post tonight. Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I feel a bit silly for being a sap last night, but also very loved reading all your comments. I think I have a little bug, and today my voice is fading a little, much to my friends’ amusement. I like these colour…

A Little Rehab
I have been a bit ill today and I am in need of a little rehab. Luckily, my dear Lucile at bridging lacunas, has kept the Rehab Clinic open for us Photo101’ers, so I wanted to share this photo with you here. This photo was taken as our cruise ship docked into Noumea in the…

Happy Australia Day
January 26th is Australia Day. It marks the anniversary of settlement in 1788 – the arrival of the First Fleet from Britain into Port Jackson in New South Wales. Australia is a relatively young country. I remember visiting places like Salzburg in Europe and feeling such rich history and heritage there. We don’t have…

Eclectic Guessing Reveal
The lovely Justine at Eclectic Odds N Sods started us on another guessing game recently, where we had to post an image with the idea of Protective/Protection and have you try to guess what the image is. We had some great guesses: Justine suggested something zippered, she even roped her son in to help, he…

Delicate Little Flower
For today’s black and white photo (nominated by Passionately Curious), I am submitting a photo that I took while setting up a new regular feature that I’ve been working on. This is a carnation and I had a feeling that I would like it in black and white – the texture really comes through and gives them…

There’s No Place Like Home
I’m responding to a Daily Prompt as part of Blogging101, but I also think it’s quite appropriate for me to post this today. As most of you know, or can tell from the name of my blog, I do travel a lot and sometimes feel a little nomadic. When I arrived home from Sydney this evening, I…

Road to Nowhere?
I spent this last week in Sydney. It was such a busy week, leaving the hotel at about 8 each day and not getting back until 11pm or later. I even dashed to Melbourne for a day on Wednesday as well! However, I was lucky enough to catch up with my friends and visit their…

No Way Out
And between the walls lies desperation. For the Black and White Challenge, as nominated by @nty6x at Passionately Curious, I must post one b&w photo per day for 5 days and nominate someone each day. Since many of you participated last time, I want to throw this open to anyone who wants to join in.…
