Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
Plane trail As I stepped out for my morning run, the song playing in my ears was Big Jet Plane by Angus and Julia Stone and there right above me in the bright blue sky was a beautiful white plane trail. I took a moment to wish that I was on a big jet plane flying …

Straight lines and blue sky This was the view that greeted me this morning as I returned from my run in the forest. I see these poles in the paddock every day but today they looked like they were all lined up, marching off into the endless blue sky. Mundane but yet beautiful in their own way! …

Rock pools! I love the the patterns in this rock shelf at low tide, caused by weathering over the years. It was amazing to see the shapes and patterns. Mundane Monday Challenge is hosted by PhoTrablogger on a Monday. There are always interesting links to other Mundane Monday posts to have a look at in his weekly post. It's...a challenge …

A muddy mundane Monday! Just another mundane muddy footprint you might think but to me it represents two important things: It's rained enough to make it muddy and I'm out running! Yep - I'm back out there running, putting one foot after another (although only one footprint is featured, rest assured I have another foot!) …

Come look at the view through the fence.....what do you see? The paddock of dry yellowing grass is my everyday view and so could be seen as mundane, but I still get pleasure looking through the fence. So in some ways yes it is mundane but in other ways it is anything but mundane! Mundane Monday Challenge is hosted …

Two of my favourite things are reading and drinking tea and here they both are! I like the simple crispness of this photo. It's an otherwise very ordinary photo but it appeals to me! Mundane Monday Challenge is hosted by PhoTrablogger on a Monday (funny that!). There are always interesting links to other Mundane Monday posts to have …

I was in Melbourne on the weekend and while out shopping in the city we walked through some of the grand old arcades. They are beautiful old buildings - well old by Australian standards anyway. This particular one had Christmas trees, decorations and sparkly curtains hanging from the roof which took your eye upwards. But on …

I passed this sad, old house while out riding my bike the other day, cycled by, then turned around and went back to take a photo. It really appealed to me some reason. It obviously isn't loved anymore but it's still standing (just). The front paddock has just been cut for hay and so it was much …

I was going to delete this photo as it seemed a bit 'boring' but then I thought of the peacefulness it exudes and how it may just be a good candidate for the Mundane Monday Challenge as hosted here by PhoTrablogger. There are links to other Mundane Monday posts as well. This shot was taken in a …

Care to join me for an adventure in paradise? What a gorgeous day! As I say quite often in this daily photo project, it doesn't always have to be a photo of something exciting and amazing - sometimes the most mundane things can make my day. I must say that this isn't one of my …

When every day life gets you down, have an adventure! Can you guess what this is? No idea? It's the grate over a drain. Don't worry - I'm not that desperate that my posts are going down the drain just yet, I just liked the lines and shapes. Just another one of those every day, …

A little piece of paradise is today's adventure! This gorgeous flower was in the garden at my parents-in-law and the sunny orange colour took my fancy. It's called a bird of paradise. They are beautiful flowers and make me smile every time I see them. What a great adventure....going to paradise for the day! My daily …

Whip it! - today's adventure These shrubs are beautiful and they are everywhere out near Uluru. I presume they are made this way by the wind but if I'm wrong please feel free to correct me. What an adventure it was with all the red dirt, the big blue sky and amazing scenery! My daily …

I'm still standing - today's adventure This tree may look dead but I'm not too sure. It's still standing which in my book means that it's resilient if nothing else. I'd like to think that I too can be resilient. I have made it to 50 days in my Every Day series, so that says something …

This is my adventure shot for the day because every adventure should start with shiny red shoes! A little friend turned 2 recently and her birthday party was a fun event with fairy bread, chocolate crackles, cake, pass the parcel and balloons....and lots of little people. I spotted these little shiny red shoes and fell in love with them. …

Did you know you can cycle around the base of Uluru?
Sunrise over Uluru
Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) at sunrise were a beautiful sight.
Another sunrise at Uluru - what an amazing place it is!
This says it all! We're back from a warm sunny holiday to these temperatures and with snow forecast for down to 600 metres (that's us). Since I took this screen shot the temperature has dropped to 1 degree but no snow just yet! My Every day is an adventure project is where I will post a photo every day for …
