While wandering through Armadale, an eastern suburb of Melbourne, to visit Mister Zimi, I happened to look down while waiting to cross the lights at the corner of Kooyong Road and High Street. And I saw this just behind the tram stop sign…it threateningly reads that there is “A curse upon the removal of this […]
We have two Cairn Terriers…brindle terriers…who are almost impossible to see in the dark. My husband often takes them early, which lately means before the sun comes up as we head into the cooler months. It has been my worry for ages that if one of them got away, he wouldn’t be able to see […]

Melbourne is having more skies like this but although the clouds look threatening, there has been no real storms, so I still haven’t had an opportunity to photograph lightning…it always happens where I am not! However, apart from the crappy […]
