Spectacular Skies
The joys of jet lag. I crashed into bed at 9:30 last night and am wide awake this morning at 3:30am! Hopefully this is the last of it!! Usually, my photos of the sky are taken from within an airplane, but I couldn’t resist these shots from the ground recently here in Brisbane. Taken with…

Papillion
Another stroll through my little back garden has revealed more aliens (you can find the previous aliens here). These aliens are masquerading as caterpillars! I have a lime tree, I’ve had it for about 10 years maybe? I had it in a pot when I was renting a little house and moved it to my…

Curves and Edges
I have walked through Brisbane Airport more than 100 times. On a return fight from Sydney recently, on a Friday night after 9pm, I noticed this structure on the rail station, which is one floor up from the main walkway between the terminal and the carpark. I’m sure I must have seen it before, but…

Queensland Art Gallery – March 2015
In my first Changing Seasons post (January), I featured some photos of exhibits from the Queensland Art Gallery. I love this place, the exhibits are amazing.

The idea is to return to the same place each month and take photographs to show the…
