Nowadays connecting with friends and loved ones scattered across the world is relatively easy with the invention of the ‘inter-web’. Imagine how difficult it would have been before the invention of the telephone; relying on a letter which may have taken weeks or even months to arrive at its destination. We are very fortunate aren’t […]
A few of my shots captured out and about South Australia this Summer. I’ve been experimenting with my new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 camera. I’m really impressed with the 16 megapixel camera – so much so I haven’t touched my Sony Camera. I hope to get out and about with that for week two of […]
As a boy who never sat still for five minutes, this photo has captured a very rare moment when my son just stopped and contemplated the beautiful evening. Taken on the River Murray, South Australia in 2006.

What a wonderful start to the year for me and I haven’t even kicked off the blogging new year yet. I’ve been nominated for a blogging award! It’s the Liebster Award, which is a fantastic way to discover and recommend new blogs. Thank you very much to Secrets of a Trailing Spouse for nominating me […]
