Every day is an adventure – 52/365

Bird of Paradise

A little piece of paradise is today's adventure! This gorgeous flower was in the garden at my parents-in-law and the sunny orange colour took my fancy.  It's called a bird of paradise. They are beautiful flowers and make me smile every time I see them. What a great adventure....going to paradise for the day! My daily …

Running and blogging over the age of 50 – a rare combination?

Waving while running

I recently found this very interesting site, Run Young 50, which talks about women from all over the world, who are over 50 and who also blog about running. My blogging (and running) friend Annie at Unsporty Women Can Run was featured on this list and I am thrilled to say that I'm now featured on it as …

Come closer!

As it's a wet, miserable wintery Sunday outside, I am doing lots of fun things inside today.  So far I've been reading, listening to music, drinking cups of tea, catching up on blogs, rearranging the clothes on the inside airers and making lots of lists of things I need to do.

Red shoes

This is my adventure shot for the day because every adventure should start with shiny red shoes!

Wattle flowers

Yellow and fluffy Soft and pretty Golden delights in the green of the Australian bush. Wattle - the floral emblem that makes some people sneeze! Did you know that Wattle Day used to be September 1 but they moved it forward to August 1 because wattle started flowering earlier in various places.  This photo was taken in mid …

Every day is an adventure – 44/365

Waiting for sunset at Uluru

Watching and waiting! Might as well make yourself comfortable while you wait. Can you guess what they're waiting for? Every day is an adventure is where I will post a photo every day for 365 days (not necessarily taken that day) - sometimes with words, sometimes without.  I believe that everyday should be an adventure! The photo …

Half light, half shade – split down the middle!

Valley of the Wind

I love the two distinct halves of this photo.  Its two halves of light and shade fit right in with this week's photo challenge. I have already submitted one post heaven and earth from the same area of the Australian outback and couldn't resist posting this one too. I love the diagonal dividing line of light and …
