Spring Wildflowers - Bonny Hills NSW

Small Spring Wildflowers photographed on the headland of my hometown of Bonny Hills NSW.

BEST VIEWED IN SLIDESHOW

Photo for today September 24th

The Colours of Spring

The headland at the end of our street is alive, at the moment, with native, spring wildflowers. I made it my mission, over the last week, to get out with the camera and photograph them before they all dissappeared, as they can so quickly do. You will find a link to an album to accompany this blog below - please note that I have no idea of their names but they are beautiful anyway with or without a name. I might make n effort to look them up sometime in the future.

Picture Perfect Friday - Alliteration

Swift Swallow - Swooping

It took a long time and heaps of shots to get this photo of the Swallow as it swooped past under the verandah roof - the things ya do to get the shot you need - lucky it is the age of the digital camera and not paying for all the shots it took.

An album for Mitchy LR

Growing Wild

"What we have to be is what we are."

— Thomas Merton

Attached is a small album of photos inspired by our, and my, Multiply friend Mitch. He is, to me,  'The KING' of macro photography - in particular flowers and insects. These are all flowers found growing wild in my neighbourhood. Thanks a million Mitch for the inspiration and motivation to enter the world of Macro. I never photograph something in macro without you coming to mind!!

Compassionate Action


Myal River -Tea Gardens

It seems to me that it is a minority that gets the true and full gospel. We just keep worshiping Jesus and arguing over the right way to do it. The amazing thing is that Jesus never once says “worship me!” He says, “follow me” (e.g., Matthew 4:19).

Christianity is a lifestyle—a way of being in the world that is simple, non-violent, shared, and loving. However, we made it into a clever “religion,” in order to avoid the lifestyle itself. One could be warlike, greedy, racist, selfish, and vain, and still believe that Jesus is their “personal Lord and Savior.” The world has no time for such silliness anymore. The suffering on Earth is too great.
