Mellow Yellow – Weekly Photo Challenge – Yellow
Dear Friends, Yellow is one of the most beautiful colours in the world. In nature, it is the most easily seen of all the colours and is found in every form – animal, vegetable and mineral. Yellow is the colour of delicate blooms, wild dogs, and even stripy, layered cliffs of sand. At sunset the sky glows golden-yellow. All …
Morningtown Ride
Dear Friends, I’ve had lots of work experience in the past. I’ve been a tour guide in Brussels, a park ranger at Fox Glacier and a member of the Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service. This week I learned how to drive a train! Call me old fashioned but one of my favourite songs is that old …

Weekly Photo Challenge – Reflections
Dear Friends, The Macintyre River is one of the border rivers which flow through south western Queensland and northern New South Wales. It forms part of the border between the two states and flows past the town of Goondiwindi. The reflections of the gum trees along the river banks give an air of peaceful serenity here, but in times of …
