Stunning Autumn in the Dandenong Ranges
We really are having the most amazing Autumn up here in the Dandenong Ranges this year. My husband and I went up there on Mother’s Day and spent a couple of hours at the George Tindale Gardens. Had intended to visit another garden but we found pathways we’d not walked before and just totally immersed…
Great Mother’s Day Gift

Jigsaw Puzzles now available
With the cooler weather coming, what better activity than a jigsaw puzzle to do indoors? And a jigsaw puzzle that reflects our own region? Plus I have some from the Flinders Ranges too. They also make great gifts and are lightweight for posting overseas. I have a variety of sizes suitable for kids and adults…
Kallista Market
Had a stall at the most recent Kallista Market here in the Ranges. Had forgotten how much I enjoy being involved in a market!

Sunrise over Mt Dandenong
I was photographing an event one morning this week and when I looked out the window the sun was just peeking over the distant hills. I love the hint of rays in the shot too. This is looking toward Mt Dandenong, Victoria. The quote is something the guest speaker said that morning and I figured…

Sharing a love of postcards
I have been writing blogposts but not in my usual category. I’ve created a new one called Postcards and it is linked in the menu of my site. So it won’t be going out through my normal email feed. For almost a year now I’ve been a member of Postcrossing.net and enjoying receiving postcards from…
