Rush hour PNG style


This lady and her son were heading home this afternoon past my place. What a great way to travel in these days of rising petrol prices and road rage!!


My new blog Through My Glass Eye is up and running.

Stick 'em up!!

We have been besieged by stick insects (Phasmatodea) lately. They seem to be everywhere.

Apparently they make great pets.

Let's see ....2 dogs, 2 cats, a rabbit and a bird, AND a hundred or so stick insects.....hmmmm maybe not!!!!

Mango madness

It is mango season here and the market benches are groaning under the weight of them.


This young tree is in my neighbour's yard and is bearing well. The mature trees grow to massive dimensions and make wonderful shade trees...although you must be careful of falling mango missiles - ouch!!!

..................................................

I missed my Vietnam blog when it finished, so have started a new one called Through My Glass Eye.

It is just a collection of photos from our travels. I was inspired by David's Digital Art so some of the photos I have played with to add effects - just for fun.

Beckoning Sky on Sky Watch Friday

We are on holidays here and yesterday was just one of those drop-dead gorgeous days with the sky and sea so beckoning. A perfect way to have spend it was on a sail boat....

......pity it isn't ours!!!

I've been jumping up and down on my deck waving my champagne glass but haven't scored a berth yet!! Maybe I'm being too pushy?

Check out other beckoning skies here.

October Theme - Lines

It has been ages since I have joined a theme day. It made me realise how many times I have been away this year on the first of the month!!!!

I immediately thought of coconut trees when I knew Lines was the theme for this month.

Their trunks are amazing.


......and so are their leaves.

I have posted the tree trunks before but thought they could do with another airing as they fit the theme so well. I have changed them to B & W to highlight their line.

To visit other daily photos and see what they have done with Lines click here:
