Autumn Leaves

May 22nd, 2008 · 5 Comments

My next door neighbour hates the beautiful tree in front of my house because of the leaf litter he seems to feel tormented by.  Some mornings I will leave for work with my front garden covered in leaves and then come home to them piled in my driveway and this neat patch of dirt instead. […]

New Moon in Taurus - Monday May 5th 2008

May 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

This new moon in Taurus is a great time to contemplate and set new goals for abundant living. Whenever I use the word abundance, I am reminded of all I have. It’s such a lot to feel grateful for! It is a word that forces me to see I have enough and I am enough. […]

Birds in my Apple Tree

March 5th, 2008 · No Comments

I have an apple tree in my back yard that has something wrong with it because the apples have brown stuff growing on them. The birds love it though. They make quite a lovely chirping, screeching noise in return for the apples.

A Butterfly on my Doorstep

March 1st, 2008 · 3 Comments

This morning I went outside to sit in the sun for a minute(with my hat on!) and noticed a butterfly with beautiful colours standing near my doormat. How I didn’t step on it on my way out is the mornings mystery to me! I overcome my urge to rush inside and get a camera to take […]

Dawn on the Balcony at Queenscliff YHA

January 14th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I especially love the stillness in this clip from my recent trip. Just a few birds and little else is stirring.

Wilson’s Prom Yesterday

January 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Wilson’s Prom is about 2 1/2 hours drive away from my home, the way I drive. Yesterday I drove there from Latrobe Valley via Yarram and returned via Mirboo North. I enjoyed the drive through the various countryside in Gippsland. It was sunny yet cool and very pleasant driving. The coastline and the hills were […]

The View

April 10th, 2006 · No Comments

We went to Jeeralang after work today to look at some land that is for sale up there. We didn’t want it but the view was pretty. It was a long drive though. I know I wouldn’t want to drive all the way up there every day. It is nice to go and check out […]

Dark Mornings

March 28th, 2006 · No Comments

Over our back fence there are chooks and a rooster. It gives a nice farm like soundtrack to our lives. This morning the rooster was making a big racket and I got to see him.
Due to Daylight Savings being extended it is really dark in the mornings. Whilst I like it a lot, it is […]

Not going to the Park

March 24th, 2006 · No Comments

Earlier in my life, I lived in the Berwick area on and off for around 10 years. I must have driven past Wilson Botanical Park literally 100s of times and never took the opportunity to visit. Today I was visiting old friends in that part of the world and my best friend and partner had […]
