Sometimes it’s the Journey (WPC)
To travel is to take a journey into yourself. – Danny Kaye. When I saw today’s prompt for the Weekly Photo Challenge (On The Way), where we are to present photos “of something you saw, did, or experienced on the way: photo not of your destination, but of an interesting thing along the way”, I…

The Bear (Dark Side Thursday)
As I walked back into the old house, the memories just came flooding back. What a horrifying time that had been. I remember I was about five when it started happening. Things were never where I’d put them and sometimes I swear my dolls moved – I could see a movement out of the corner of…

We have a tourism catchphrase here in Queensland – Beautiful one day, perfect the next…. It is a beautiful city and I am very happy to showcase one small part of it for Cardinal’s Monthly Changing Seasons Event. The idea is to return to the same place each month and take photographs to show the…

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…

Ended (Dark Side Thursday)
For Andy Townend’s Dark Side Thursday. Andy has provided an outlet for our dark sides. I wrote this a few weeks ago (on a plane, of course!) but I thought it was too dark to share. I haven’t ever written anything like it. I would usually put this summary at the bottom of my post…

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.

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…
