Stairs and Chairs

This first one is a public art which was quite hidden in between two buildings. It goes up to the upper level and has beautifully coloured butterflies. These are the steps going to the second level of Bench Cafe where we had this fantastic thirst quenching drink as shown on the drawing. The back stairs…

Weekend Sky from the Backyard

I can hear the birds chirping while I am hanging my washing. I know hanging the clothes on the washing line is not normal to some of the people reading this… especially for my friends in America. But this is one of my favourite activity of the day. Am I weird? Inspired by Hammad Rais’…

Doors around Manila (part 1)

Some doors which I photographed from Manila… some of these doors obviously need repainting. For Dan’s Thursday Doors Challenge This barber is waiting for customers to come in through that open door. Some locked doors.

This was the weekend sky at the Wilson Botanic Gardens in Berwick. These are my take on the photos taken on my phone and as you may notice they are all not looking…

The “road” I was forced to take

This week’s theme asks us to think about our favourite style of photography as the road (most often) taken. I love taking flower photography, travel photos, as well as photos of random objects and sceneries that I see along the way. This time however, I went on a trip back to my homeland the Philippines…

I am a fan of …

I didn’t realise that I am but I just noticed recently that every time I see this Red Phone Booth, I am tempted to pose inside it. I am so a fan of it… Do you do this too? Or is just me? Haha Inspired by Jez’s Fan of … challenge
