Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO400 | f/2.2 | 1/100 | Showers and thunderstorms are what in store for us today at the Nation’s Capital. My strawberry patch and the rest of my green family in the garden are so enjoying this lengthy wet treatment.

Nikon D90 | AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED | ISO800 | f/5.6 | 1/40 | When fellow 365 project doers who live in the northern hemisphere started to complain on the fact that their days are getting shorter, I am rejoicing the opposite here living down under. The day light is getting longer, and the days are even longer still as summer is yet to arrive. My kids were enjoying that short time post-dinner before they had to get […]

Nikon D90 | AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED | ISO250 | f/16 | 1/10 | A rose this magnificent should not grow in a yard of someone who does not even like roses like myself. But it does. So what do you do….? Nikon D90 | AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED | ISO250 | f/5.6 | 1/60 |

I came from the land of black hair and dark brown eyes, that’s why taking photographs of people with other colour of hair and eyes (non black hair, and non brown eyes) is fascinating to me. This boy is the perfect example. R is 3 years old with a thick red hair, dark green eyes and cute freckles peppering his face. His mom and I often have coffee together, but only today I had my camera ready, and only today […]

Aside from nice to look at, having a baby around also can also help to keep you warm. If you are lucky enough to hold/cuddle him, that is. Baby R did not disappoint. Not only he was an eye candy, he was also the source of warmth, for some of us, in this nice but still quite cool day. Cute pudgy hands were the focus for today’s image. Gotta love those little fingers..! Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | […]

Our Costco shopping day is one of the days that always makes our dog so excited. It’s not the actual shopping that makes him happy. It’s the after shopping activity that happens after the big shopping. It’s when we are busy storing dried goods into their boxes in the pantry, packing and dividing meat/fish into daily consumption size. He loves this because there’s always spills on the floor (from the odd flimsy wrapping of chips for example) and so many […]

It’s a very artsy afternoon for us today. One of the moms from Ms 4’s school initiated this art session for kids under six at the Railway & Cafe in Weston Park. The place was totally renovated and they have a closed space with big windows for the cafe. It’s lovely. The kids colourful desks and benches were sitting just in the corner by the windows. The lighting in that corner was just perfect thanks to these windows. Caroline is […]

The wind blew freezing air in the last winter morning in Canberra. Nothing around me could stand still, everything was under the mercy of the wind, moving this way and that. The flags were flapping wildly, as well as the leaves and those new popping flower buds on some trees, even my hat decided to leave my head during my run. It was craaaazy. This bald tree, however, was one of the few things that stood still in this part […]

Felt like I kept bumping into walls today, figuratively speaking. It’s a mammoth effort to shake myself out of the frustration. Push further was the way to go. The idea to photograph the street in front of my house (again) came as I was just day dreaming and looking out of my window. I’ve always been fascinated by moving lights and long exposures, so I thought I’d capture my street in a different ‘light’. I had to wait awhile to […]

Today’s post features two of my favorite trees. They are two completely different trees, as you can see above. I have posted a photo of each tree in previous months, but again, as they are my favorites, they will be featured probably many more times than you like or care. The bald tree I see everyday during the weekdays as it was located between my kids’ two schools. I took this photo around 9AM after the school drop-off, when the […]
