Footprints on the beach.

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 11 Sep

Last weekend, we visited some remote beaches on Australia. The sand was pristine and the water was blue and there was plenty of fun. In a couple of them, we were the only ones on the beach with the occasional visitor for company....

Alone and drenched at the car park

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 29 Aug

I left work at 6 am yesterday after working the night and the weather wasn't good at all. I had parked my car at the outside car park 10 minutes away and it was windy, chilly and rainy. I did get fairly drenched as I didn't have...

Nighty Night and Wakey Wakey

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 26 Aug

If you're wondering what the weird title is, the picture from the supermarket will give you a clue. The medicine section had these two meds right next to each other and it certainly got my attention. I didn't need either, but it...

Anyone for chicken flavoured chips?

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 22 Aug

I'm sure I've posted something about the bizarre flavors I've seen at the supermarket. I wonder how they get the chicken flavour into the chips - sure it's a load of chemicals and additives. Not too bad for the occasional snack,...

Man vs dog - who is faster? Would you find out?

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 18 Aug

I saw this funny, humorous warning on a house gate. As challenging and scary as it sounds, they had a friendly, happy dog that would more likely play with you rather than chase you to attack you. What are some of the funny dog...

An upside down house - interesting afternoon spent

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 13 Aug

We had an interesting display at the city and spent a Sunday afternoon exploring it. It was a house constructed upside down. The furniture on the inside was all on the ceiling and kitchen and bedrooms were all topsy turvy. It was...

Dirty chai is now my favorite cafe drink

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 11 Aug

It doesn't sound exotic and I was reluctant to try it. But now I'm hooked! Dirty chai is a shot of espresso (coffee) mixed into a tea with milk and some spices (usually made Indian style). I wondered if they would ever blend in...

A doggy splash!

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 26 Jul

We stayed at an Airbnb last weekend and the owners had these two cute dogs that spent a little time with us. They loved the pool and we're showing us all little tricks in the pool - like this dive and splash into the pool that...

Can you count the colors on this butterfly

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 25 Jul

It's a trick question, because the purpose is to get bowled over by the sheer array of colors. We saw this at a butterfly park last weekend. There were many butterflies, but this was the most colorful. I don't think it knew it was...

The great barrier reef from the sky

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 18 Jul

We managed to see the great barrier reef from the sky, a boat, and from underwater. It was so beautiful as the day was clear and the water was full of color. No photo could capture the beauty and the rich colors. Here is the view...

Sunrise from high above the skies

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 17 Jul

We caught a 6 am flight for an extended weekend holiday. Although we were all groggy as we boarded, the view of the sun rising with gorgeous colors certainly was worth it. It was a 3 hour flight and we managed to get some sleep....

An interestingly lit building

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 14 Jul

This was one of the major light exhibits at the Illuminate festival. The entire building became a screen for patterns and designs that changed continually. This year it was abstract black and white designs and was quite good....

An evening of lights and illuminations

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 13 Jul

There's a light festival that's on display on the main road in the city. Last year we found it mesmerizing and mind blowing. We went with great expectations this year and found it a let down. The displays were mostly underwhelming...

Starting off an early morning walk on the weekend with this sign

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 12 Jul

This happens only in Australia. We decided to have a morning walk along a park called Dry Creek Trail and were greeted with this sign right at the entrance. Well, if you're in Australia, you're used to these signs. The kids were...

Some unexpectedly pretty flowers in the backyard.

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 9 Jul

A few months ago I found this succulent plant at a friend's home that I just broken a couple of stalks off of and stuck it into the soil kny backyard. It dried a bit and then grew a bit with some rains and hot summer. After the...

For the freedom of the hens and for happier eggs

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 8 Jul

Are you a fan of eggs? I'm pretty happy with eggs as part of a meal, but I've never thought much about the hens. Apparently the eggs are better if the hens are given more space to roam around and be happy I don't know if it's...

A cloudy, wintery sunset

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 5 Jul

We drove through a beach last weekend. The day has been warm, but the evening turned cloudy with a touch of rain. The sunset looked very different with some interesting cloud formations in the horizon and above. Have you seen any...

How to predict the weather - Aussie style

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 5 Jul

I saw this fun weather predictor in a store last week and was tempted to buy it. We all need something to predict the weather, don't we? How do you predict the weather? Do you have any tips and tricks?

Do you like colorful birds?

Pitstop @pitstop (15416) • Australia 3 Jul

Colorful birds like parakeets and lorikeets are so pretty. I wonder how it would be if humans were so colorful - we'd probably not spend anything on clothes and fashion! When was the last time you saw a bird so colorful?! Can you...
