The lovely Justine at Eclectic Odds N Sods started us on another guessing game recently, where we had to post an image with the idea of Protective/Protection and have you try to guess what the image is. We had some great guesses: Justine suggested something zippered, she even roped her son in to help, he…

Delicate Little Flower
For today’s black and white photo (nominated by Passionately Curious), I am submitting a photo that I took while setting up a new regular feature that I’ve been working on. This is a carnation and I had a feeling that I would like it in black and white – the texture really comes through and gives them…

Road to Nowhere?
I spent this last week in Sydney. It was such a busy week, leaving the hotel at about 8 each day and not getting back until 11pm or later. I even dashed to Melbourne for a day on Wednesday as well! However, I was lucky enough to catch up with my friends and visit their…

The Stuff of Nightmares
I really have to share this night of horror (and hilarity) that I experienced last night. I apologise in advance to those of you who must protect all living creatures, but I live in Australia, where not all creatures are cute and benign. I was up late, caught up reading blogs, chatting to everyone and…

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.…

Life Gets in the Way
This post represents my response to today’s Blogging101 brief – “Be Inspired by the Neighbours”. We had to expand on a comment that we made on someone’s blog yesterday. This has been a fun experience so far, lots of new blogs to read and new bloggers to meet. I was just reading back through the…

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
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…

Stalk in Shadows
By the light of day It waits Darkness descending It grows stronger Impatient Waiting for night This is my tripod and the shadows it casts at night. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think it looks like an alien robot stalking some dark and gritty planet surface. This photo was taken…
