South Australia is my adoptive homeland and we spent the first 11 years of our Australian adventure there before moving to Brisbane. It was easy to find places of serenity in such a beautiful peaceful place. Be it in the vineyards of the Adelaide Hills or by the sea at Brighton these photos were, and […]
For this week’s challenge, share a photo that says “temporary” to you. As always, you can take the theme in any direction you see fit — from the natural world to the human, and from the concrete to the abstract. There is nothing more temporary than the glory of cut flowers – arrangements for table […]
This week’s photo challenge is to make use of sizing, placement, and scale in your photos. Perhaps you live in a place with mountains, and want to highlight the size of the homes in relation to the dramatic landscape. Or, conversely, if you live in a city, how do the buildings change when you place […]
Pedestrian This week’s photo challenge is to demonstrate our interpretation of pedestrian and to me, it is us humans pottering about our daily lives out and about in the world. I am way too self-conscious at the moment to practice street photography (I have a fear of upsetting someone) although I admire the work of […]
Your inspiration this week is windows. Use a window to frame your shot. Show us what you see out the window from the place where you usually blog, use a window to give structure to your photo, or make a window itself your subject. Windows

This theme is wide open to interpretation because only you know what is unusual to you. Here are a […]
My weekly photo challenge shot is one of Story Bridge spanning the Brisbane river. I took this on my Samsung Galaxy 8 about three weeks ago and I was pleased with how it turned out. Story bridge was opened in 1940 and connects Kangaroo Point with Fortitude Valley. It is the longest cantilever bridge in […]
Rain settling on a Bottlebrush (Callistemon). Credit goes to my daughter ‘Flossy’ for this super shot, captured on a family trip to Queensland. Last year saw an unusual migration of Caper White butterflies in Brisbane, having been blown further east than usual on their migration. Transient
Focus I had only been using my ‘proper’ camera for a few weeks and was totally experimenting with this shot. Chief and I were in Singapore and this was at Cheek by Jowl a modern Australian restaurant which is definitely worth a visit. The food was sensational but unfortunately my photography wasn’t. This was a play with […]
