What is unconditional love.?
Is it real, or is it an ideal to aspire to?

When my beautiful daughter left here, after her last visit,
she was going to Dubbo to the highly regarded Western Plains Zoo.
When she’d gone I thought about zoo visits we’d had when she was a child and decided to reminisce with a cup of tea and some photos.
There were many photos that stirred emotions.
The mess she’d [...]

Where have I been? What have I been doing? I’ve been everywhere, so it seems, trying to find a way to make extra income. What have I come up with? Boulder holders and Bathers, with a few other bits as well.
Over the last several months I have been very conscious of opportunity placed along the [...]

Not only is Talon an observer and photographer of all things beautiful in nature and in her own back yard, she is also an inspiring writer. Her words are vivid in imagery:
Some things are just beautiful…
like the sweet sliver of crescent moon sitting low [...]
I’ve recently been awarded my second blog award. The first blog award I decided to ….somewhat rudely really, ignore. I just couldn’t quite figure out why I didn’t want to accept it, but I didn’t want to. I didn’t have enough time think about it in depth. I didn’t want to just say ‘no,’ so [...]
