Thanks again Alilou!
A new blog post from you is always a treat!
I love your newly found "Photo Art".
Good journey Alliou!!!! And as always please be careful.
alilou, thank you so much for sharing all the beautiful photos from your travels. I love what you've accomplished with photoshop. Truly amazing!
I have a new blog post ready - the last one from Vancouver. More musings on our nomadic life, "housekeeping", visiting with family, and more (better!) digital art.
We left Vancouver at 3pm on Wednesday Sept 12. Thirteen and a half hours to Hong Kong, 2 hour layover, 9 hours to Sydney, 4 1/2 hour layover, one hour to Canberra. We arrived at about 3pm on Sept 14th. It didn't actually take 48 hours, but it felt like it.
It's good to be on the road again. I will watch the FS season online, and will be back in Vancouver for exactly the dates of Worlds!
Thanks for sharing your continuing adventure - and the photos/art that bring it vividly to life.
The serendipity in your daily life seems an example of "All Things Work Together For Good"...
You are blessed to be aware of that.
Enjoy!
Wow, nature is SO different in Australia!!! I am always amazed at how landscapes change as you change country
You make me miss Canberra!
Love the picture of the bearded dragon! We had one come in at the animal shelter about six months ago....it was wandering around in someone's back yard - I guess it escaped from its home or was left behind from a move. The people who caught it brought it to the shelter in their toddler's toy stroller It was nice to see a picture of one in its natural habitat.
Thanks for the introduction to wattle blossoms!
Thanks again and look forward to your new India posts! Oh BTW I keep forgetting to mention that I love the new look of your blog.
Interesting thoughts from Don about the mind complaining and tendencies to unhappiness. In my experience, travel has its own kind of pressure because we believe that we should be up, and positive, and excited all the time because we are in this beautiful place or having this exciting adventure. However, people can have down days and bad moments and feel generally whiny nonetheless. We're not programmed to behave certain ways in certain situations. And the nomadic traveling life has its own lacks and challenges, just as the routine settled life has.
One of my favourite maxims, spoken to me during the time when I was wandering the world and found myself feeling like a prisoner in Tokyo, was: Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
I found loads of wisdom in reflecting on that - still do.
