Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
I have always been a bike rider. One of the best memories from my childhood involved us getting new bikes one year for Christmas. We have a family photo somewhere of the three of us kids standing proudly displaying our new bikes and smiling so broadly - we realised how lucky we were. We were always out …

A whimsical edge for me, as I hate real scary edges. Some fears are better left alone!
Mirror, mirror on the wall... I knew this photo would come in handy one day!! I was in the lift in a Sydney hotel recently after completing an early morning walk around the city. I looked up and this was what I saw - reflections stretching into infinity. I love the light, the reflection and …

Anyone for tea?This week's photo challenge asks for an image of what a typical 'morning' looks like. Every morning starts with a cup of tea in a mug when I'm at home, but as I'm visiting my parents at the moment, we use the lovely white cup and saucer set for the first of our numerous …

The sweet curve of a baby's cheek, not to mention those curvy eyelashes! This little cutie belongs to friends and she was quite relaxed lying in my husband's arms. I just love the softness, innocence and trust that exudes from her and I can't help but be inspired with hope for the future. She has …

Pure decadence! This is my second response to the weekly photo challenge prompt of Pure. A yummy way to start the day! “Pure” can convey wholesomeness, something undiluted, or simplicity. This was definitely not wholesome or simple but it was very decadent and delicious. It was also very pretty! Deb 🙂 My other post for …

Pure joy, pure genius, pure beauty! There is much more to Sydney than …

Ages, kilograms, kilometres, running, pace, distance, calories in, calories out, training, time, fitbit, clock, alarms, birthdays, passwords, logins, phone numbers, money, stats, notifications on my social media accounts, views of my blog, months of work left before I'm offered a redundancy, number …

10 red Persimmons...... Here is a simple display of Persimmons found in my favourite local coffee shop Nest: Cinema/cafe/books I like the way these Persimmons are displayed in an elegantly simple, typically rural, no nonsense way; yet they still manage to look stylish in a 'spare' minimalist way. Congrats to the Nest team for their creativity …

Happy or sad faces? Here are two smiley faces but are they really happy faces? Sometimes smiles can be deceiving and if you knew the background to this photo you would wonder how they could smile at all, given the news they had received that day. The champagne is also a bit of a throw …

Some earthy quotes and thoughts!
My mother-in-law Ruby is one in a million. In admiration of Ruby 🙂
I clearly remember taking this photo last year - I was experimenting with trying to get closeup shots and it didn't turn out quite as I wanted it to, but I kept it just in case it could be used sometime down the track. And its time is now! Just in case you can't tell …
