This week, I heart faces is celebrating breast cancer awareness month with Pink Week. So let me tell you the story of this photo. On Saturday I went for my regular walk along the seafront at Cottesloe. We usually walk all the way to Swanborne and back. Nearing the Swanborne end we came across one [...]

I first saw this sign at North Cottesloe. I thought then it was a stupid sign. What are they trying to warn against? Diving? Shallow water? Why not just say that?? To just say “water” seems a bit obvious. Hello… it is the Indian Ocean… Having two stupid signs… does that make the Town of [...]
Everything is pink outside said my son this afternoon… Ah ha! I thought, the perfect chance to use the “sunset” feature on my new camera… This is straight out of the camera – no photoshopping I promise, not even a tweak. Cool huh? (are you getting sick of me talking about my new toy yet? [...]

I love walking past the sculptures from earlier years and it feels [...]
It wasn’t that long ago that Perth was surrounded by bushfires – or at least it felt that way. The sky was overcast with smoke. And yet I still didn’t “get it” when I saw the sign until I was well past it on my morning walk. Which is why I took this next photo: [...]
The things I do for this blog. The extremes I will go to. Take the other night. Hugamuga suggested we have a family swim down the beach. Never mind that the news had been full of shark sightings and that someone had actually been taken. Never mind that sea breeze was in big time and [...]
