The Light
Milly was cold, so cold. Her daughters were fussing around her room, pulling up her blankets, arranging flowers, tidying the nightstand. They were such good girls, all three of them. They’d fought like cats and dogs as children, but they loved each other just as fiercely. And they loved her fiercely as well, she suddenly…

Scientist Spotlight – Moana Simpson
This is my second interview for my Scientific Reasoning feature, designed to give us some insight into the lives of some of today’s scientists. The first interview can be found here – you will notice that many of the questions are the same – I wanted a fairly even playing field, so we can get a…

Anger
The door slammed and with the sound, another piece of her heart shattered. It had been this way for weeks. He had always had a temper, but it had been playful, easily ignored and she hadn’t thought anything of it. Until recently. Now his mood had changed. His temper was dark and brooding, always festering. She…

Senior Video Blogger
I took this photo for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab clinic. I was shooting the sunset over Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. It was pretty quiet, just a few people watching the sunset. Just as the light was fading, a busload of senior citizens arrived and they all came over to check out the sunset.…

Amsterdam – Party Central
This is my final post in my Amsterdam series, a fact which makes me very sad 😦 I will have to go back!!!! 🙂 Before I arrived, Lucile warned me that the city turns orange and goes into party mode for King’s Day and what a fantastic coincidence that my work trip to the UK…

Amsterdam – A Different View
You know me – I love black and white photography. I found Amsterdam skies to be so amazing and King’s Day was so orange (you’ll see exactly how orange in my final Amsterdam post next week!!), that I was very selective about what I showed in black and white. When I was going through the…

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…

Amsterdam City in Living Colour
I hope you aren’t getting too sick of my Amsterdam posts 😉 Today is the city in glorious colour. As I have said, I was there for 50 hours. This was over three separate days and these photos span all three days. The first day was overcast, day 2 was glorious and day 3 was…

Amsterdam People (B&W)
I think I’ve already mentioned that I took a lot of photos during my 50 hours with the lovely Lucile in Amsterdam, so I wanted to share the photos gradually with you. Today, I’m sharing my black and white images of the people of Amsterdam. Some of these were taken during a walk through the…

Separation Binds
The panels of glass in this very large window are separated by thick metal strips. The thick metal strips bind the glass panels together to form a very large window. This could be a post about construction. It could be about architecture. It could be about seeing the world as glass half full or…

Blogger Babes in London
I am so blessed to have met such lovely people here in the WordPress world. As many of you know, I recently went to Cambridge (UK) for a work trip. It was an intensive trip with long work days immediately followed by evening social events. It was a fantastic week actually. Work finished up…

Intricate Design
I was originally thinking that the best intricacies would be in nature and that might be true, but I was able to find some wonderful man-made intricacies while visiting a temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It’s a beautiful place, but the juxtaposition between the rich and the poor is quite confronting. To visit this temple,…
