A Holiday in Mackay, Queensland
Just before Christmas, I flew from Melbourne to Mackay to spend Christmas and New Year’s with my family – my Mum, Dad and brother. It’s been a lovely two weeks, just relaxing with family, recuperating my shoulder, visiting with relatives, watching the cricket (20/20 of course!). We have taken a few opportunities to go out…

The Great Ocean Road
I went to a conference in Lorne last week and I decided to drive down earlier on the Sunday and take some photographs on the edge of this beautiful country. It was a day that was waiting for the rain to fall and it eventually fell, but in the meantime I revelled in those cloudy…

I’ve just arrived back to Melbourne from Sydney. I was there all week for a sales and marketing meeting, but I went up on the Saturday and spent a wonderful evening with good friends. On Sunday, I spent the day with another good friend, we had lunch and took a drive through the northern beaches.…

For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Harmony. “The combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords having a pleasing effect; the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.” From a work trip to Heron Island in Central Queensland – no phone, no internet, no locks on doors.

Sarina Beach
This post was written before New Year’s Eve and I somehow neglected to post it… Finally it’s raining and the weather is much cooler, it’s beautiful. The only sacrifice is the loss of blue skies, but I love a good dark cloud, so I’m ok with it. We took a drive while my brother was…

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…

Split in Two
This photo was taken at Shorncliffe Pier, north of Brisbane. Such a clear afternoon, not a cloud in the sky. For The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half. Here is the prompt: This week, share an image that has two clear halves, literally or figuratively. You could focus on composition, like me, and take…

Momentarily Thoughtful
The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.. – Thich Nhat Hahn (Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist) When I think about a moment, I always think of something good. I guess I think of a moment to be savoured. Meanwhile,…

Enveloped in Mother’s Love (WPC)
I was wondering through the markets at Wala in the South Pacific, taking in the sights and sounds of the tiny island when I spotted this beautiful mother and baby. It was a very quick single snap and I’m so glad it turned out. To me, it’s such a heartwarming scene. She looks so happy…
