Moss Vale RDA - Fitzroy Equestrian Centre
My daughter had a horse from a very early age. This horse came to us quite accidently.
I’d gone to rescue the joey of a kangaroo that had died after being caught in a fence. The people that owned the property this kangaroo was found on, also owned horses. My daughter was 4 at the [...]
Details and the Big Picture
That’s how I see my life: a whole lot of complex detail, needing attention, clouding my ability to see the big picture.
But what is the big picture? Viewed from a child’s perspective, the big picture is often what we are going to be when we grow up. When we have grown up, and become what [...]
As Clear as? - Fitzroy Falls!
Toward the waterfall
I used to bush walk in Fitzroy Falls, a beautiful area, where it is easy to walk and think, amongst the sound of birds, and the smell of Eucalypts, or sit and meditate to the sound of waterfalls. Recently I returned to Fitzroy Falls, camera in hand, to take photos of a place I [...]
Rainbows
Rainbows have always held a fascination for me. The way they suddenly appear with that glimmer of sunshine breaking through the clouds. The way they always seem so far away; and where do they end? Where that pot of gold is of course.

Relax, Relax…..Relax!
Why is it that Melo the cat, can just relax - anywhere? Why is it whenever I try to relax, I firstly need to find a quiet space? Then I need something comfortable to sit on, and I need the temperature to be right. Too cold and I’ll have to get up and get [...]
The Joy of Singing - ShACappella
“Alas for those who never sing and die with all their music in them.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
What a joy it is to sing!
It doesn’t matter if you think you’re a great singer or if you think you can’t sing. To sing is joyous. As Karen Ashworth, the founder of ShACappella says ”Sing when you are down [...]
At Times It’s Hard To See The Wood For The Trees
Perhaps it has to do with having survived rather than lived a tough year and wanting that to change. Perhaps it has to do with just wanting a change. Perhaps it has to do with having bought the new camera. I’m not sure, but as those of you that frequently visit can see, I’ve decided [...]
