This is the world according to me…in photos, words, stories and sometimes even poetry. It’s a fun creative outlet, and as a bonus I get to meet some amazing bloggers from around the world.
My aim is to make you smile, educate you in some way, maybe inspire you and to share my world, while learning about your world.
I love an adventure and I always seem to find one – or it finds me! It keeps me feeling young :)
I’m living life to the fullest and embracing the challenges that come with midlife! I’m now a grandmother x 4, and I am as happy as a pig in mud.
Please take your time exploring my world – it’s full of stories, travels, adventures, photos and love.
I appreciate your visit, your likes and any comments or feedback you care to leave me. Feel free to share the love 😊

Angela – You are Awesome blog
Hi, Deb – I so loved following your travel posts for this series. Your photography not only shows your immense creativity, it also reveals the soul of what you were trying to capture – and delightfully displays your joie de vivre (which is completely contagious). Thank you for joining in (and running with it) and for the shoutouts!

One more strong wind and those leaves will be gone. But the new leaves in spring come and are just as magical, like a rebirth – all clean and soft and green. A great photo Deb.

Thanks for the comment Chris, it’s nearly time for them to go as winter is marching on. The snow on the mountains I can see from my verandah is a sign of things to come!

I used to see snow on the southern alps from my home when I lived in NZ, and never thought anything of it. The things we take for granted eh! Now I think it would be amazing, so, lucky you!

It’s always a lovely view – until the accompanying freezing wind makes its presence felt! We’re home now from our few days away visiting my mother-in-law and our daughter and granddaughter and the fire is on, so all is well!

I keep forgetting that you’re going into Autumn while we’re in Spring until you show me pictures like this that remind me. Beautiful.

One of my happiest memories is of playing in the Autumn leaves at the Botanical Gardens. This is what your picture reminds me of.

That’s great to hear my photo gave you that memory. I love kicking through piles of leaves after my husband has raked them up and he’s never impressed with me when I do it 😦 I don’t know why as it’s such a fun thing to do.

Love the Autumn tones and the vintage bike Deb – I want to know where the rider is? So I guess that’s the story behind the picture?
Thanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I’ve shared on my SM 🙂

Yes Leanne there are many stories in this photo! I wanted the viewer to find their own take on it and love the way a photo can appeal to everyone in a different way. (By the way, I’m the bike rider and stopped to take in the glorious colours, I just had to share them!). Thanks for your insightful comment and shares!!

Beautiful autumn photo and I just loved saying the word ‘Tumbarumba’ 😀

That’s great to hear Jenny! You can say Tumba-bloody-Rumba if you want to, there’s actually a poem with that line followed by chasing kanga-bloody-roos. I laugh when people ask we say it – exactly as it sounds Tumba-Rumba. It’s a fun place to live I can assure you!

I love Autumn Deb and the colours are stunning. We don’t get the change of season as evident as you do unfortunately. Although, Queensland has beautiful Winters. There is something special about this time of year, days getting shorter, cooler and crisp mornings and evenings and a sense of comfort surrounding us all. Thanks for sharing and giving me your gorgeous photo to make my day. #MLSTL

That’s my pleasure sharing our autumn with you Sue! The change of seasons is one of the things I like most by living here. We will be heading north to escape some of the winter so hopefully we can catch up.

Spring and autumn are my favorite seasons. I wish we could just toggle between the two. Lovely picture!

It’s so interesting to see because here in the US the buds are out and spring is here! It’s unseasonably warm here in the northwest as well. It’s supposed to get to 90 degrees. We are definitely not used to that.
Thanks for the beautiful photo!

Such a beautiful autumn photo from your part of the world. I’ve often been tempted to join in with Wordless Wednesday. I agree with you that a wordless pist is harder than you would think.

It is getting easier the more I do it Jennifer but I’m still tempted to use words to describe the photo and now limit myself to the title and photo caption. It’s such a lovely time of year up here and I enjoyed our bike ride but had to stop to capture this sight!

I will have to live in a world where I can be in Autumn all year long! What a gorgeous image of Autumn, Debbie, but “touch of Autumn” is more of a bucketful of such!
