Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 20 Papua New Guinea

20 February, 2013

Imagine if you will a country with spectacular, awe-inspiring scenery from fierce mountain ranges clothed in almost impenetrable jungle to deep aquamarine seas with an abundance of tropical fish. Imagine a country with hundreds of tribal groups, languages and specific cultures. Imagine the potential for clashes between those tribal groups, the payback[i] and potential for … More Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 20 Papua New Guinea

Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 19 Ode to a Friend

19 February, 2013

Today I want to introduce you to one of my oldest friends, one whose permission I don’t need before we “go public”. Ms Bernina first came into my life when I was seven months pregnant with my first child. We’ve been mates ever since, but like all friends there are days when we have a … More Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 19 Ode to a Friend

Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 17 A place in my heart

17 February, 2013

Now I’ll bet you were thinking this was going to be about Mr Cassmob. But you’d be wrong, because he wasn’t my first love….sorry, dear. In fact my first love wasn’t even a person, but a place. It was on a holiday-activity, bus trip around Brisbane that Mum & I first visited The University of … More Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 17 A place in my heart

Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 14 Young Love

14 February, 2013

I just had to rejig my sequence of photos so I could accommodate Valentine’s Day! In the 60s and 70s, Valentine’s Day was a non-event in Australia but as a devoted reader of Seventeen magazine from the USA I’d caught the “love bug”! Of course having titled this post “Young Love” I also had Cliff Richard … More Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 14 Young Love

Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 12: Cousins, aunts and uncles

12 February, 2013

I’m not going to change the image I’ve posted in this collage but I am going off on a lateral tangent yet again. I had thought to write (even more!) about Magnetic Island but then I thought “why? I’ve done that to death”. Then in another of my midnight mental rambles I was thinking about … More Fab Feb Photo Collage Festival: Day 12: Cousins, aunts and uncles

Fab Feb Photo Collage: 2 Feb – Cats, Kittens, Maggie & Cyclones

2 February, 2013

Another of my photo favourites! I’m a huge devotee of cats and kittens and have been since I was a little girl, thanks to my father’s equal addiction. All my life we’ve shared our homes with one or more cats. Each one has a special place in my memory. When I was a child, one … More Fab Feb Photo Collage: 2 Feb – Cats, Kittens, Maggie & Cyclones

Cass Collage

3 January, 2013

Some months ago I decided to see if I could achieve a personal photo collage like Kristin does on Finding Eliza. When my computer crashed in August I thought I’d lost my work but the other day I rediscovered it. So here is my (imperfect) attempt at a photo collage which represents some of the … More Cass Collage

Blog Carolling

15 December, 2012

I just had to include this Aussie Christmas song/carol in a last minute response to FootnoteMaven’s  Blog Carolling event. While it may be Saturday in Australia and we already have the airconditioning on at 8.30am, I’m going with the theory that it’s still Friday in the USA <smile>. It’s not really my favourite but I … More Blog Carolling
