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,…

The Long Haul
Just a quick post to say that I’m still alive. I was travelling for the last two weeks – I went to Cambridge (UK) for work for a little over a week, then London on the weekend and Amsterdam for a couple of days. London and Amsterdam were short holidays and I had a…

Auckland Sunrise
I went on a cruise to New Zealand in 2011 and the person I was sharing with was a very loud and constant snorer, although completely lacking any rhythm at all. As we docked into Auckland, I escaped to our balcony (thank goodness we had one) at about 4am with my iPod and my camera…

Grasshopper, Munching
You may have recently read my post about the caterpillars that have taken up residence in my lime tree. I’m quite fascinated with them and I try to check on them every day or two to make sure that the birds haven’t gobbled them up. While I’m out in the garden, I take my camera…

ANU Again
I presented my favourite building from Australian National University recently – The John Curtin School of Medical Research. The photos in the gallery below, are others from the same shoot – different buildings around campus. I’m also adding these to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. As usual, all photos were taken with my Olympus OMD EM5…

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…

Helix
I went on a a day trip for work to our nation’s capital last week. The capital city of Australia is Canberra, which is within The Australian Capital Territory, which is then located within the state of New South Wales. It’s about 2 hours drive from Sydney. I flew down from Brisbane, which is…

Afloat, Above and Below
For the Weekly Photo Challenge – Afloat. I just had to include the shots from the plane, many of you know how I love to take photos from the airplane window – I have so many of them! The clouds seem to just float along as the plane floats past them, such a surreal experience…

Image Reboot #1
Welcome to the first instalment of Image Reboot – a monthly feature partnering with Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic, and designed to give you some insight into how I go about editing photos in Lightroom. I am, by no means, an expert and I have taught myself how to use it, which means I am still…

Roses are Red… and Yellow…
When I take a photo, I’ve almost always decided already whether it’s going to be a colour or a monochrome image. I have the luxury of seeing it both ways when I edit them. I love seeing an image come together, the stunning change as it’s converted to crisp clean monochrome… I also enjoy the…
