It’s taken me awhile but I finally have the shop operating here on this site. All sorts of items such as playing cards, jigsaw puzzles, a book written by me, filled with bird photos, phone covers, cushion covers, tote bags and many other things. Some items are currently limited and will need to be picked…
Thank goodness these is a local park I can visit regularly during our lock-down phase here in Victoria, Australia. I am, however, looking further to traveling further afield, as our my photography group – as soon as it’s allowed. In the meantime, saw this amazing cloud formation at Birdsland Reserve recently. I’m told it’s a…
I know many of my audience loves jigsaws and while I have several you can purchase to do on a table or a board, or something, I do have several others available as online puzzles – totally free. A great thing to do while at home during ISO but at any time really. I’ll be…
Recently, a dear friend of mine passed away, but because of the Pandemic and that she was in another state, I was unable to attend her funeral and say my goodbyes. She was also very involved in the Virtual Assistant industry, as I have been, for many years, and for a time, she was my…
After 3.5 years I finally made to the Guru level as a photographer! What does that mean? I’ve been a member of Gurushots during that time, working my way up through Newbie, Rookie, Challenger, Advanced, Veteran, Expert, Champion, Master and finally to Guru! Some make it quicker – I have no idea why I didn’t…
Here in Victoria we’ve had a lot of rain, and in particular, the Dandenong Ranges. Over 600mm this year already – more than half our average rainfall and May has only just begun. But, gladly, we’ve got a few days of reprieve and I’ve been able to go back out to my favourite park for…
At least that’s the title the Star Mail gave it recently. I was delighted to see the story in the local paper about my new book, Words on Birds. And even more delighted with the response the book has been getting. I’ve now had more stock delivered because the book has been so popular –…
During the month of February I was unwell and took some time off from my regular business to recuperate. I was unable to sit for long periods of time due to pain but also tiredness and exhaustion so could only be at my computer for short periods (and no, I wasn’t suffering from COVID-19 but…
If you’re like me, you enjoy photography challenges. Getting the best bird shot, getting the best flower shot, getting the best insect shot. And you like to experiment with different styles. Or, perhaps you don’t, but maybe you are open to the idea? Nearly 4 years ago I joined Gurushots, as I was told that…
Several weeks ago, I was approached by the printer that does my Dandenong Ranges Calendar to see if I could contribute some wildlife images for a fundraiser calendar that they were doing, partnered with Wildlife Victoria. I told them of course I have and sent through some images. Then they showed me the other images…
Another gorgeous bird and a lovely surprise this afternoon. Had a gorgeous little visitor in our garden this afternoon, under our willow tree here at home. It’s a Rufous Fantail – I’ve only seen one here occasionally in the past, usually in a bird bath near our house. But today, as I walked under the…
I am always out and about with my camera. I live in fear of missing ‘that shot’ if I don’t have it outside with me whenever I’m in the garden or elsewhere. In fact, I have missed a few shots for that very reason – leaving my camera inside. Thankfully it doesn’t happen often, leaving…
