Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
In Warburton we have some Ancient Redwood Forests, which feel very mystical, I am totally unsure as to what powers if any, they truly hold, but it ‘feels’ very old and mystical amongst the trees. People often build giant ‘nests’ from fallen boughs. I cannot help but feel a sense of wonder as I stand…

Somedays the universe throws something a little strange your way, years ago I would have laughed it off as something silly and said pass, these days I find we often have the most fun at these ‘silly’ opportunities…so when Moth and I were invited to watch a Pink ‘Barbie’ car get crushed by a Centurion…

I have visited Noojee a few times, especially lately, we stopped in there to photograph the train at the History Centre a few weeks back. Then, of course, there was the shoot, which never actually happened for my Damsel in distress. Recently we were lucky to have some marvellous Autumn weather and Moth and I decided…

I have visited the RJ Arboretum in Olinda before, on several occasions, we shot some Astro Photography there a few weeks ago. But we recently had some glorious Autumn weather, possibly our last for awhile and decided it was time to see if the leaves were turning. We do not really get too much colour change,…
