Birds & Cider
Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all.– Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. – J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird. These photos are going to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

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.…

The Devil’s Name is Dullness
Title – quote by Robert E. Miller Today’s Blogging101 assignment is to review our blog’s name and Tagline. When I first created my blog, I spent a lot of time mulling (musing) over the title. Like others have mentioned, I didn’t realise that my blog’s name and it’s URL didn’t have to be the same 😋…

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…

Homeward bound.
It’s been a good trip to Sydney. Some traffic issues at times (me taking wrong turns) and some violent weather (I’m from Qld, so no worries there) but I got to catch up with some of my all-time favourite people and I had a very productive and pleasant 4 days of work. I’m sitting on…

Sydney bound.
I started this post yesterday when I was leaving for Sydney. I have a habit of leaving quite late if I travel on a Sunday. I usually drop my puppy, Gidget, at my parents’ house and have lunch with them before I go. I arrived at the airport at about 1:40pm for my 2:25pm flight…

My first post. My next trip.
Hello travellers My next trip is to Sydney – visiting the Garvan Institute for a symposium. I would usually just go early on the day, but daylight savings has started and we Queenslanders do not assimilate, so I have no desire to get to the airport by 4:30 on a Monday morning. Sheesh – I…
