    Scientist Spotlight – Dr Julia Archbold

    This is my first interview for my Scientific Reasoning feature. The questions will be the same for each interviewee and I hope that they will give us some insight into the lives of a few of today’s scientists.   Dr Julia Archbold is a good friend of mine. We have known each other for many…

    Frangipani for your Thoughts?

    It’s been a while since I’ve done a post specifically for Lucile’s Rehab Clinic over at bridging lacunas. I dedicate today’s photo to my beautiful mum, whose birthday it is today. I’ve just come home from dinner with the family – I love my mama, she is my rock and my role model. We had a…

  • Depth of Soul

    Depth of Soul

    One cannot look deeply into the eyes of an animal and not see the same depth, complexity and feeling we humans lay exclusive claim to – Nan Sea Love. We were wandering around a temple in Chiang Mai this time last year, somewhat separated from our group, when we came across a little collection of ornaments…

  • Colour No Colour

    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

    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…

  • Angry Bird

    Angry Bird

    Today’s post for my dear Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab. I went out today in the sticky heat of Brisbane for a photo session but as I was getting in the car, I saw this little Myna Bird on the fence. I grabbed the camera, switched it on and started clicking, changing settings like crazy and was able…

  • Serene Contemplation

    Serene Contemplation

    On a trip to Chiang Mai for a work conference last year, we took time out to visit a temple. This gentlemen spent some time at these lanterns, whether praying or meditating, I’m not sure. It was such a busy place with so many tourists bustling about, but the locals didn’t waver in their dedication.…

  • A Glorious Start to the Day

    It’s been so hot and humid lately, with bouts of rain. I learnt a new word today – thundershowers, and that’s what we’re having tonight. When I woke up a couple of days ago, it was super early and as I let MissG out, I noticed the grass was covered in a white sheen! The…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – January 2015

    Beautiful Brisbane – January 2015

    This post is my submission for Cardinal Guzman Monthly Photo Challenge – The Changing Seasons. I’ve been thinking about this challenge for a while now, trying to decide on a location – this has to be a place where I can return each month to record around 20 photos. The idea is to document the…
