Holiday Bird Diary – Part 1
My mother, J, lives on a wonderful property in the Gladstone area (Queensland, Australia). J and B run a few cows and agist some horses. The property is not a bird sanctuary as such, but as the property has a permanent source of water (a very large dam that hasn’t dried up in all the time they’ve lived there), it attracts a wide array of birds. During my recent visit, I tried to snap as many birds as possible. Read more

For Makea who turns 6 today! Happy Birthday my darling girl.
You are the sunshine of my life
Even when you bark aloud
You are the Lapphund of my life
I love you just the way you are-ah.
One Word Sunday – Us
Every week, Debbie from Travel With Intent hosts the One-Word-Sunday challenge. This is my contribution to this week’s challenge — Threesome. Click on the link to participate.
This is my first time participating in this particular challenge. I had been looking at this photo recently as a possibility for another post, but it seems to fit this theme best.

My Brilliant Career
It is fair to say that I have been rather unsettled by recent political events in Australia. Read more
The Changing Seasons – August
Regular readers will know that in August, my true love and I went on holiday – a rather long road trip to visit my mother who lives about 1,500 north of me. In the place I live (Canberra), the winters are freezing, grey and dreary. In the north where I went (as far as Gladstone), it is relatively tropical, although they have had some coolish mornings. To escape the cold, many retired folk, known as Grey Nomads, regularly spend months travelling the roads of northern Australia. We had a taste of that life for a few weeks. I’ve tried to do a bit of a ‘compare and contrast’ photo essay to represent my August. Read more
Fluffy Girl
This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt — Fluffy.
I promised myself I would cut back to one post a week. The weather is warming up so I need to catch up on some of my art projects. But I couldn’t resist this Ragtag Prompt as it is my dog’s nickname. So without further ado, here is my favourite Fluffy.
Fluffy’s other name is Makea. Makea means sweet in Finnish. Fluffy is a Finnish Lapphund (Suomenlapinkoira). The breed has its origins as a reindeer herder of the Sami people.
Which Way Home?
Dear Readers, I thought I would use the opportunity of participating in Cee’s Which Way Challenge, to present a few more of my holiday snaps. I got a little carried away as I was having way too much fun putting them together to tell a little story. I hope you like it. Read more

Blue for You
This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt — Blue.
My thanks go to Margaret of the Ragtag Daily Prompt for today’s wonderful prompt. If you too need some inspiration, click on the link above. Such prompts help me make short work of presenting my holiday happy snaps. I had hit a road block so to speak, as it was all just too overwhelming to think how I might present the story of my travels in a way that might be slightly interesting. I hope the photos do justice to the wonderful holiday I’ve just had. Read more
