Beachy Views (Rehab5)
I was up at 5am today for a flight to Sydney and spent the afternoon seeing customers at Westmead Children’s Hospital. It’s now almost midnight and I need to go to bed! After work today, my head was cloudy and I felt like I needed to decompress. The plan was to have dinner with friends…

Maple Pecan Granola (Rehab4)
Ok, today I’ve combined Photo101 Rehab with this recipe that I wanted to share with you. I love this granola – it’s a Martha Stewart recipe that I’ve tweaked slightly. It’s so good. I made it a few Christmases ago and bottled it for my friends and they all returned the empty bottles asking for a…

Strongest (Rehab2)
Day2 of Photo101 Rehab and I hope I’m not too late! I love to experiment with macro photography. I took these photos when I was cleaning my camera one day during the November photo101 challenge. I had cereal for breakfast outside and had put a little on the tiles for Gidget. I watched as an…

Just Thursday: What Gets You Going in the AM?
I’m joining the Just Thursday Blog Hop, which you can find here. For me, it’s definitely coffee! Whether at home or in a hotel (which is pretty often) I definitely need a coffee to get me going. I usually have one coffee straight up with my puppy, Gidget and she has her coffee, which is…

GuessingGame1 – Wrinkle
Justine over at Eclectic Odds and Sods has started a new challenge for those of us missing the photo101 event and first up is a guessing game called wrinkle. Here is her idea: The challenge is to photograph something that depicts the subject matter of ‘wrinkles’. The aim of the photograph is that firstly the…

One of my QT Favourites.
Today, I wanted to share with you one of my favourite photos. I get a “feeling” from it, and isn’t that what this art of photography is all about 😉. To me, this one has an air of romance about it, a dreamy quality that I really respond to. We’ve discussed colour versus black&white images…

Photo101Weekend4: Colour vs Monochrome.
Yesterday’s post with photos from our day at the races was mainly presented in black and white. It was suggested by @terryb that I show the colour versions as well and I thought it was a good idea. I was interested to see the comparison side-by-side. The races are such a colourful event, so it’s…

Photo101Weekend4: Explore the Races.
One of my closest friends has been going through some very hard times in her personal life. She is being so brave and proactive about getting on with her new life and she invited us to join her for a day at the races. I’m not really a fan of going to the races but I wanted…

Photo101(20): Triumph Finding my Heritage.
When I saw that today’s brief was “Trumph”, I really didn’t know what to do, until I read the description. I realised that we should pick a moment of triumph in our life – something that made us feel triumphant. I went to the UK for two weeks for work recently and I had a…

Photo101(19): Double on the Double.
I could not wait to finish work today so I could get into this shoot. Wandering around the house, I found a lot of doubles. My computer sits on the second shelf of an open bookcase in my living room. On the top shelf are these two cocktail shakers. I don’t think I’ve ever used…

Photo101(18): Edge of Lifou.
I had to choose between photography and a hot stone massage this evening and, well… I chose the massage. It was amazing, really worth it. Anyway, I have some shots here, taken in an abandoned unfinished house in Lifou in the South Pacific. This was particularly challenging for today’s brief, because the building isn’t exactly…
