Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
Not long now..... Only a few more days until we leave for our daughter's wedding in Fiji. Only a few more days until we have the family together for the first time since last Christmas. Only a few more days until I can kick back, relax and laze around the pool. Who's excited with me??? …

The vase of spring daffodils look pretty, WonderWoman Debs is sitting on top of her jar of Vegemite surveying the world around her, the camellia tree is full of pretty pink flowers outside in the …

I love words but sometimes a post is supposed to be wordless and I find I just can't do it!
Source: Week 11: Black and White I have written before how much I love Spring, the flowers, the colour, the new life and in particular my magnolia tree. I always take copious shots hoping for one that's just right. So you can imagine how wrong I felt turning this one into black and white for Week …

They can do real damage …

It hit me as I walked down the steps and across the tarmac.... That feeling of déjà vu. I started remembering all the times I'd arrived at this same airport, in my eyes it hasn't changed much over the past 40 or so years. I can't even begin to add up the number of times …

Source: Week 9: The letter D Here is the photo I didn't use for this week's 52 week photo project. I've called it Debbie and the Daffodils as I figured I could get two D's for the price of one! I love the fact that Spring has sprung down here, with the daffodils bobbing their …
