From Hobart to Helsinki (and beyond!)
For challenge this week, I'm sharing this hang glider, spotted high above the Pacific Ocean. We were heading south out of Sydney and decided to take the scenic route... Grand Pacific Drive, which really is grand! A small part of the highway actually is built over the ocean 🙂 If you're travelling south out of... Continue Reading →
For this week's challenge, I decided to stay close to home. Following on from the earlier weekly photo challenge, here is another aspect of my neighbourhood. We live in a recently developed area (a little bit over 10 years in the oldest parts) and there has been a lot of work on the footpaths and... Continue Reading →
Escape. The. Every. Day. Cast those ropes off, ease gently from the pier, bow forward and you're away. Even on a dull summers day such as this...
As I alluded to in my Six Word Saturday contribution of yesterday, our boating season has officially started again! Our first trip was short and sweet. The bulk of Saturday morning went to stocking the boat and ensuring everything was ship-shape! Our first stop was fueling, and then we had a mad dash to be... Continue Reading →

So good for running in and jumping through; wonderful to eat although not so nutritious 😉 ; fun if not frustrating to catch; and of course - rolling in it! His first action walking...

The first picture is the original, the second after some editing This was Perry just before his first haircut 😎 I'm fulfilling the mobile... Continue Reading →
Lately my life has been, to say the least, hectic. I did an exercise tracking my time usage which was enlightening in more ways than one 😉 Large chunks of time went on moving myself from A to B to C ... A passing conversation with a former colleague cemented the conclusion that I'm wearing... Continue Reading →
Balcony view at sunset. The 'smoke' on the horizon is actually steam from one of the city heating plants that keeps our apartmemt (and the rest of the city) warm in winter. Once the snow goes this will be a nice place to sit 🙂 View from our front door. The frozen sea is very... Continue Reading →
Delicate. The first image that spring to mind was lace , followed by cobwebs, and then snowflakes. All of these things singularly are delicate, yet if you add another element (metal, tension, volume) they stop being delicate. I won't tell you what this is until the end. Or why I chose this particular item. If... Continue Reading →
