A doggy splash!

Pitstop @pitstop (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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 (15346) • 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...

Pitstop @pitstop (15346) • Australia 13 Jun

Well, that's one way of finding out it wasn't dishwasher safe!

Pitstop @pitstop (15346) • Australia 10 Jun

It's been a while since we had a dishwasher accident. This one was definitely my fault. I put in a thin plastic container into the dishwasher, the kind that you pack takeaway leftover food at a restaurant. While the container...

How do you like your chocolate chip cookies?

Pitstop @pitstop (15346) • Australia 8 Jun

I like my chocolate chip cookies, or any other cookies, slightly chewy and soft. I know these are not healthy. I have two favourite spots to buy them - Subway and Woolworths (a supermarket chain). Maybe I should try and bake...

Do you like to hold insects?

Pitstop @pitstop (15346) • Australia 31 May

I must admit that I get squeamish at the thought, but I was tempted to hold this one - possibly a praying mantis in the garden. The kids didn't hesitate at all though - they gently got it to climb onto a leaf and tipped it slowly...

This must be Superman's car

Pitstop @pitstop (15346) • Australia 30 May

I don't know why superman would need a car if he can fly so well, but it looks like he has a regular Subaru Car to get to work. Only the little superman logo gives it away that it's probably modified for superman. I didn't get to...

Oops - a careless mistake on the road and a warning

Pitstop @pitstop (15346) • Australia 28 May

I filled gas last week at night and as I exited the petrol pump to enter a side street, I saw lights of the cop car behind me and had to face the music. I had forgotten to turn the headlights back on and turned it on after a few...
