On The Wharf, To The Horizon

‘On The Wharf, To The Horizon’

A young man stands on a wharf on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.

The wharf appears to end at the sea’s horizon.

The young man is in fact my son, and he has relocated from New Zealand to Australia to further employment and professional ambitions, as many others his age do.

The photo, to my mind anyway, captures a solo leap, out from familiar shores to the great unknown beyond. I hope that in this case courage and vision will be rewarded!

Kaleidoscope 5

‘Kaleidoscope 5’

i confess to being a bit tired and distracted as a long and busy year draws to a close.

have found myself, as may be apparent from recent posts, faffing with a kaleidoscope-creating app. bit of fun though!

i am trying to create a digital xmas card to send to some family and friends, using the wonderful, flowering pohutukawa tree as my theme. the draft designs are being posted here – i do hope you enjoy them!

and, if you are feeling similarly tired right now, i hope you get to take it easy where possible and have a little serenity in your December days…

Nasi Lemak

‘Nasi Lemak’

Breakfast of champions!

One of Malaysia’s national dishes and a traditional way to start the day – rice cooked in coconut milk, sambal chili paste, cucumber slices, hard boiled eggs, peanuts, dried anchovies, served up in this case with a tasty chicken rendang.

Most food bases covered in one brilliant meal!
