Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
Hello again! I'm participating in desleyjane's blogging challenge Contemplation, where we share our responses to a prompt from her Kikki.K, A Sentence a Day journal. This week's prompt is: What can you smell right now? Wild orange, citrus bliss, lemon - these are the lovely smells emanating from my diffuser at the moment. I have taken to using the diffuser …

Hugh's photo challenge this week is all about the gap. I love fences, the gaps and the views beyond. I have chosen a few of my favourites fence shots to share -the last one was a bit tricky! Taking a selfie as I climbed through the gap in the fence isn't as easy as it sounds …

Welcome to my Wordless Wednesday! Debbie 🙂
That's one way to spend the Easter break!
Yellow - positive in an ever changing land I like the mind of someone who chooses to use yellow as the colour for something as big and dirty and menacing as a road roller. I know it's all to do with safetyYet despite the dirt and mud and dust, the yellow shines throughlike a positive signand …

Half-light Half-light is the theme for this week's photo challenge. Krista asks us to: share a photo inspired by a poem, verse, song lyric or story. If you’re not feeling especially literary or musical this week, see if you can capture the beauty of morning or evening half-light in your corner of the globe. In regards to a poem …

It's Good Phriday today! I took these photos while wandering around the local showground, the day after the town's annual agricultural Show. It was a lovely sight - all crisp, clear, clean and reflective. In reality it's just a little bridge over the creek and an empty grandstand but I like their quietness and stillness after the big, …

Apparently I registered my Deb's World blog 4 years ago - who would have thought I'd still be here?! I have no reason to doubt the scrupulous record keeping of WordPress but gee whiz that time has really flown by! I do remember writing some early posts and deleting them a short time later so …

Easter Bunny Cake It's Easter and Hugh's photo challenge this week is all about things that are sweet. I couldn't go past this photo (cue flashback) with 2 of my daughters at Easter time many years ago. Weren't they sweet? I used to make a white rabbit cake every year when they were little. My mother in law …

Can you see a face here? While out for a little walk I saw this rock on the side of the road. I immediately saw a face in the rock, can you see it? It's just a rock, pretty bland and mundane, but interesting in its own way too, and that's what it's all about …

Cycling and sailing around the Southern Dalmatian islands in Croatia a few years ago produced some amazing views. It was also a great way to see some of the beautiful countryside as well as being a great adventure. When I saw Hugh's photo challenge this week with the prompt of calm, I immediately remembered this photo …

Let's just float away.... Welcome to my Wordless Wednesday! Debbie 🙂

Deselyjane explains the idea behind this challenge: Each week, I answer a prompt from the Kikki.K A Sentence A Day Journal. I’ve been …

A different view of a hot air balloon - from the inside Hot air balloons intrigue me, I love their apparent effortless ability to float away. This photo of the inside of the balloon appealed to me as it's not your normal photo of a hot air balloon. It could easily be classed as mundane …

one love.... I realized that the universe is constantly whispering words of love: expressions of pure joy, respect, loyalty, and sacrifice for someone other than ourselves, and instructions on letting go and focusing on what is most important in this world - so says Anne in this week's one love photo challenge. No matter where we …

It's Phriday again! Where do the weeks go? I took this photo while wandering around the garden during the week. I've been experimenting with the phone camera and editing features of some of my apps. I like the soft focus and the hint of purple in amongst the grey green colour of the gum leaves. I …

If you had a choice to use the hotel's fitness centre, (which just happened to be right opposite your hotel room) or go out into the city of Sydney for an early morning run/walk, what would you choose? I chose to go out into the city at the crack of dawn and left the delights …
