My experiences of life in Australia
Today would have been your 47th birthday Paul. What a long time you have been gone from our lives; thirty years to be exact and boy oh! boy have their been some changes in the world. Today being your birthday, you would probably be receiving greetings from all your friends on Facebook. You’d have loved […]
This weekend is a long weekend for us here in Australia. As a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, Australia allows its citizens a public holiday to celebrate the Queen’s official birthday even though Her Maj probably blows up a few balloons and serves ice-cream & jelly on her actual birthday, being 21 April.

For a start the majority of our trees aren’t deciduous, being mostly gum so we don’t usually see that mass of Autumn colour so prevalent in the northern hemisphere.

Our family treasure George. Rescued from the care of the RSPCA he came to live with us for eight years.

A great theme to have fun with which I shall do at the weekend – for the time being a few observation photos
Our lives are made up of big events and tiny moments. Ultimately, life is fleeting, and oftentimes it’s these small moments, this motion, that we love to document. Today’s assignment was difficult for this ‘point and shoot’ photographer and I’d love a few extra days to spend on this – I expect I will revisit […]
I was giving up hope of capturing a photo for today’s theme and there it was waiting for me at home!
