    Scenes in yellow on a cloudy day

    **** Reposted with permission.****  A gentle read for anyone into photography. And if you’ve been to Hong Kong, a warm reflection. I can’t wait to get back there one day. Hong Kong offers a feast of sights for those with camera in hand. Spending all day carrying the Nikon D7100 and an attached 55-300mm DX… Continue reading

    Taylor Swift

    What’s your all-time favorite album? I can’t pick just one favourite. I think I’ve said that here before. However, some of my favourite artists are Neil Diamond, Queen, and pretty much anything from the 70s, a bit in the 80s, a bit more in the 90s and then a smattering in the 00s. More recently… Continue reading

    Blogging – tell me more

    In the spirit of today’s prompt, I’d also like to know more about blogging. My blog itself is nothing fancy, and I still need to find time to improve layout, structure, features, etc. But for now, I’m just enjoying posting a few thoughts. Thanks to my new friends who take the time to like, comment,… Continue reading

    Dollars and cents

    Which topics would you like to be more informed about? I think understanding economics is important. I understand some of the basics, particularly global forces, heavily influencing our financial position.  But I’d like to know more about the mechanics of economics. Why government spending influences inflation, which influences cost of living. I get it at… Continue reading

    Music and memories

    What would your life be like without music? Music is life. It is essential to who we are. It evokes emotions, connects, sooths, inspires, and motivates. It meets us in the moment. So what about the “top 5 bands of all time”? It’s highly subjective, but it seems like the right time to talk about… Continue reading

    Sleep in… never

    How do you celebrate holidays? So do you find when you’re on holiday you always get up early? Not really a blog post as such. It’s more an interesting observation. I generally get up at the crack of dawn to head out and make the most of each holiday day. Rise and shine, friends. Continue reading

    Exploding glass

    Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. I was making a beef stroganoff and placed the (glass) lid on the saucepan to stop the splatters. I turned my back for a moment, and next minute, the glass lid exploded. Shattered glass was everywhere. After all the cleaning up was done, it was a… Continue reading

    Enough is enough.

    Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. You are enough. You don’t have to be less or more. You don’t have to meet someone else’s expectations or ideals. You’re you. Authentically, proudly you. And what you bring, say, do, feel. That’s enough. Realising that who you are right now is exactly… Continue reading
