As 2022 is now well and truly upon us and before we know it, it will be 2023. It is now time to get those creative juices flowing and punch those damn keys. Now is the time to consider what it means to “jump off the merry-go-round”. When I refer to a a merry-go-round, IContinue reading “Jump off the merry-go-round!”

My Back Garden – Part 3
Living in the Southern Hemisphere means that spring is about to end and summer is just around the corner. We have received far more rain this year and our totals till the end of October were well ahead of the totals received during each of the last few years. This means that the earth hasContinue reading “My Back Garden – Part 3”
Who are you?
Who or what makes us human beings? That is a question many ask, and there is no simple answer. It really is just a matter of our history, short and long term, if one uses the widest meaning of the word. Our history defines who we are, and while one cannot change history, one canContinue reading “Who are you?”
Your Beliefs?
Some are of the view that one should never discuss beliefs. As one can believe in many different things, including people, political systems, communities, religions, financial systems, families, countries, sporting teams and the list goes on. As there are so many beliefs, I will not deal with any particular one, but cover the underlying reasonsContinue reading “Your Beliefs?”

Perched under the eaves of our front verandah is a pair of Flycatchers or Fantails (local name Willie Wagtail) that have made a tiny nest of very fine grasses, tightly bound by spiderContinue reading “Amazing Nature”

My Back Garden – Part 2
Here are a few more photos of what you would find in a Queensland, Australia back garden at the end of winter. As you can see, it was a beautiful day outside and when I took the photos the temperature was about 72F (22C). I tried to catch bees on the flowers as they wereContinue reading “My Back Garden – Part 2”
My Back Garden
As so many of you post photos I thought I would go into my garden and take a few photos. They are not to the quality of some of yours, but they may be different to those taken in the Northern Hemisphere. Remember, we in the Southern Hemisphere are in late winter. Now that IContinue reading “My Back Garden”
Thoughts – Head v Heart?
From my observations there are two distinct thought processes that flow through most peoples’ heads. On one hand, there are those that seem to first look at any situation through their “feeling” lens. On the other hand, there are those that put far more logic into their first thoughts. I am sure there are alsoContinue reading “Thoughts – Head v Heart?”
