Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I’m a bit of a creature of habit. I visit some of the same local spots, over and over. Mostly because they are lovely spots to visit, at any time of the year. But also as the travel, parking and getting about is easier for me. So when a friend said she hadn’t been to…

Bit of a mixed bag this week, on a high night today is my 31st Wedding anniversary…that’s quite an achievement, right? Sadly we also said goodbye to our dog, Chloe. She was with us for nearly 16 years. She was mostly blind, deaf, had heart problems, kidneys were giving out, but in the end, she…

We recently managed to spend a long weekend with my daughter in Ipswich (Queensland). Due to Covid I have not been able to get to her house in Ipswich. She move in Dec 2019 and we were going to visit in Feb 2020…but you all know what happened. So I have not seen her newly…

Every year my daughters buy me flowers for Mother’s Day, but the last few years they have made sure they have been quite photogenic ones. They are not fancy or expensive, but the fact that they think about what I might also like to photograph is especially nice. I also had a little help in…

Nothing beats getting out and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air in Autumn, my favourite time of year. We recently headed out to Healesville Sanctuary with our eldest daughter to enjoy some time with some quirky Aussie animals. That’s all they house here, Aussie natives. Great down out with the camera and family. Really not…
