A lone dinghy in the mangroves

I loved the colour contrast and the quietness of this pale blue dinghy hove to and tucked away in the mangrove swamps.

Weekly photo challenge – shadowed

There is so much to see in shadows…..they seem to add depth, mystery. Evocative is a word that comes to mind…

In indonesian shadows are bayangan and here the shadows of the coconut palm fringe the sea in Lombok.

Myself and siblings…..high in the the southern alps of new zealand : ))

Tucked away in the shadows  ……kucing kecil (indonesian for kitten) : ))

Festive greetings

There really is no way of avoiding the festive season where I live …..and parts of it I do enjoy.  To all those who followed me this year  a big thankyou…
Where ever you are on the planet and however you celebrate this time of you may it be peaceful and joyful….

This is one of the places I was lucky enough to visit this year…..

May the New Year be blessed  for all those who live on our planet…..may our lives have some joy, some creativity and some compassion …..
Roll on 2015

Weekly photo challenge – warmth

When I think of warmth I don’t think of hot, so much as sun streaming through a window on a cold winters day or someone’s open smiling face or

Currents of warm air funnelling in under the shade of my coconut tree.

The warm glow of rich yellows…… : ))
