Archive for the ‘Running’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. Thursday, July 19th, 2012. A few days before the race, Chen and I collected our race kits which contained our bibs, shoe tags and some other instructions. On the way there to Birrarung Marr, the organisers were already getting ready for the event. The big “Finish” sign was already up. We knew what we would be running towards! Collecting our race kits. Before the race, near the starting line. Our little group, by the starting line. Finding my green...

Archive for the ‘Photography’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. Getting to know my OM-D E-M1. Monday, September 28th, 2015. For a long while now I have been unhappy with the camera set up that I had but not know which way to go. Don’t get me wrong, my Canon 400D has given me lots of fun and my family members lots of photos that I think they appreciate. But it had got to a time when it desperately needed an upgrade. Which way do I go? Get another cropped sensor dslr? One that is a step up from my 400D?

Laquo; Sherbrooke Forest, Dandenongs. Tumuli and Mount Napier. It appears that we have graduated from picking walks from my deck of cards to picking from a book! Hahaha I got a book from the library of. And erring on the side of sensibleness, we chose one that was graded easy and only 8km, that would take us to volcano country in the West of Victoria. Some of the more adventurous walks were promising to chalk up 18km and with climbs and graded hard! All geared up to start the walk. Going up Mount Eccles.

Larr; Tai Chi on my birthday. August 2, 2013. It has been so long since I did a post, I almost forgot my password. We are now in the last month of Winter and I just want to do a quick post about Autumn. I love Autumn, I guess it is because of the beautiful changes in colour which I see everyday. The trees are all multicoloured , some with withered leaves which are still beautiful lying on the ground. All shades of green. And my head is known to be quite a good size. Dry leaves on the ground. Before the w...

Larr; Riding a bicycle. Tai Chi on my birthday. August 29, 2013. Another year has gone by, another year older. I am celebrating my 25th birthday again! I have celebrated quite a few 25th birthdays and I am already forgetting my real age. Haha! But age is just a number and I like the number 25. This year I celebrated my birthday in a very unusual and unexpected way. I took part in a competition! Swinging your hands slowly and imagining you are cutting up a watermelon? Tai chi in Gulin. Tai Chi at Boyd.

Archive for the ‘Close ups’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. Drink of the Gods. Sunday, July 1st, 2012. Among other things that I like doing in Melbourne is to go to the library and see what cook book I stumble upon. I recently got one that is about the history of foods, (though technically not a cook book) and guess what, the first chapter is about chocolate! It says that Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus named the plant. Close up of Conscious Chocolate. Me and my cup of thick hot chocolate. Also written on...

Laquo; Volcano country. Tumuli and Mount Napier. Tumuli or lava blisters, a feature here in South West Victoria (about 10km from Macarthur) is believed to be one of only three in the world (the other sites are in Africa and Iceland) But what are tumulis? I found a brief explanation of what they are here. Wild flower in tumuli area. I would have much liked to climb the rock mounds but it was quite obviously private property. So we moved on. Mount Napier in the distance. At the foot of Mount Napier. The vi...

Sherbrooke Forest, Dandenongs. Our second walk from my deck of cards. Took us to Sherbrooke Forest in the Dandenong Ranges, approximately 50km east of Melbourne. I have been to the Dandenongs quite a few times but never for a proper walk in the forest. All geared up for our 12km walk, we arrived at about noon to the car park at Grant’s Picnic Ground. But…. we didn’t expect half of Melbourne to be there having their barbeque! Hahahaha – no parks at that parking area. Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans).
