Yesterday we went on a bus trip to the Swan Valley on the outskirts of Perth with other residents from our village. One of the places we visited was a chocolate factory. We were given a few samples and wandered through the shop...

We were chasing the sun

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Jul

On our flight back to Western Australia from Melbourne, Victoria, we were flying west and chasing the setting sun. It seemed to take a long time before we were actually flying in a dark sky. The collage shows the sky soon after...

An elephant in the room

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Jul

The photo shows a cute metal elephant that was in our house-sit. I like seeing what other people have in their houses. We’re home again now but not without a few minor dramas a long the way. I’ll tell you about them later. It’s...

No beginning and no end

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Jul

The photo shows an item that is in the house where we stayed while visiting our son in Melbourne, Australia. It’s made from a single piece of wood and has no beginning or end. It’s very clever but such things blow my mind in some...

I put up a photo of a gigantic mural in Perth, capital of Western Australia. I discovered it was painted by the same guy that did another wonderful mural near our son’s house in Collingwood, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. His...

The amazing talents of some people

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Mar 24

Vince went into the city today to join a photo group taking photos in the inner city area. He was a bit late leaving the house so I dropped him at the train station and he caught the train into the city (about 30 minutes) then a...

Are you pretty familiar with 'pretty'?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Jul 23

The image has nothing to do with the discussion but is a night view of Perth, Western Australia, and taken from King's Park. In the foreground is the old Swan Brewery which has now been converted to luxury apartments. Every...

The end of a marvellous evening

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Jul 23

This is probably the last set of photos from the Lightscape installation that we visited recently. As we neared the end of the walkway, we passed under this beautiful archway. The top photo shows it from a short distance away...

Tulips and poppies at the Lightscape

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Jul 23

I still have a few more photos from the Lightscape we went to in King’s Park, Perth. We were there about two hours and walked two to three kilometres so it was quite extensive which made us feel better about the price we paid....

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Jul 23

Recently we went to Lightscape in Perth, Western Australia. I’ve written a little about it. Once we’d paid and entered, we then joined many others in following a path round part of King’s Park. You could stop to take photos as...

An evening trip into the city

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Jul 23

The photo has nothing to do with the text but is of the ‘family’ at our last house-sit. Vince and I decided to go to the city to see a ‘Lightscape’ show in King’s Park. King’s Park consists of 400 hectares (988 acres) of...

Our bags are packed

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Apr 23

Another decoration that I liked at The Poacher restaurant in Ballina, Ireland, is what you see in the photo. Obviously, it means if it’s morning, it’s time for coffee but once it get to ‘pm’, then break out the wine glasses. In...

I've seen many sunrises and many sunsets. But this type of sunrise with the sunrays coming out like in my photo, I've never actually seen before except on TV or in books. I have seen sunrays going across the sky during the evening...

What does this Perth bridge remind you of?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381747) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Jan 22

I recently posted photos from a Perth, Western Australia, hotel window. In the distance can be seen a very striking bridge. Once referred to as the Swan River Pedestrian Bridge, it has been renamed ‘Matagarup Bridge’. ‘Matagarup’...
