Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
The subject of snow is quite timely for me - just last week we had snow falling in our neck of the woods (see Day 60 and Day 61) and this week I'm up north visiting my parents and the sun is warm and the temperatures are almost tropical. What a difference a week makes. …

Winter is still with us down here in the land of Oz but I can see spring on the horizon. Our garden is quite bare at first glance but when you look a bit closer there is still life and new beginnings. I think that is the best thing about this monthly challenge it makes …

FROZEN ADVENTURES!! The frost this morning was quite heavy! When this happens the vineyard sprinklers are turned on, which helps to keep the frost from burning the vines by freezing the water. It sure did freeze the water! We woke to a view of ice sculptures throughout the vineyard and what a glorious site they were in …

Winter is well and truly upon us down here in the land of Oz. Despite the bareness of winter there is still beauty around us - a glossy green frond in the garden; the late afternoon sunshine through the trees; the view from the forest as opposed to the view of the forest; the shards …

This was well worth the effort of getting up early (to go to the gym)! As I opened the gate at the bottom of the driveway I couldn't help but snap this shot. By the time I got home the day had clouded over and the colour had drained from the sky! What a glorious …

We live in a cold place, beautiful yes, but it can be quite cold in winter and conversely quite hot in summer. When we first moved here I wondered why everyone was so intent on getting wood piles ready in January when the temperature was in the high 30s. I soon learnt that if you …

A walk around a garden which is slowly subsiding into winter, gave me this surprise today. It's on the magnolia tree so I can only assume it's a seed pod. There are many of them on the tree, all fluffy white with a beautiful colourful centre piece. It made my day with it's ethereal beauty!! …

At certain times of the year we have our very own vivid light show. The hill/mountain overlooking our town glows red with the late afternoon sun. I managed to capture it looking vivid just this week! It is my 'natural' take on the vivid theme for this week's photo challenge. Last year I was in Sydney and …

I couldn't have said it better myself! It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it. John Burroughs (Winter Sunshine) I was on my way to work on a frosty freezing cold morning. I had to …
