Hello all, not sure who peeks at my blog anymore since I haven't updated it in awhile. Anyway, for anyone that still comes for updates and pics, I'm now posting on FaceBook instead. It's an easier medium for me and a lot of family and friends are already signed up. So come find me there. I have lots of photos to share!

23 May 2009 Alan took me down to the Waverly Cemetery situated between Clovelly and Bronte Beach. He took me down there because it was a place he used to walk as strange as that sounds. However, to the people who live nearby it's like a walk in the park. We saw many joggers, people out walking their dogs, and couples just out for a stroll. This huge cemetery covers the area of a small

Sorry the pictures are that great as I took them on my phone. However, you can click on the photo and it will enlarge in a new window. Anyway, have you ever seen when they chop a divit on the side of the tree/log and put in a plank to stand on? This was that competition and it was very interesting to watch. The last pictures is the "one arm saw"...at least I think that what it was called. It

Friday, November 7, 2008Last evening I was in Coles, a major supermarket chain, in the Eastgardens Shopping Centre when I found a small box of Cashew Roca sitting on the top shelf in the candy aisle.The "Roca" family of candies are only made in one place on earth...Tacoma, Washington, USA! It was amazing to see a small piece of "home" so far a way from home. :)~Jess

Monday, October 20, 2008On Sunday evening, we decided to take a walk on the beach at Little Bay just up the road. As we drove down toward the water, we noticed quite a few white caps further out toward the ocean. The weather was getting dreary with the wind picking up and a growing threat of rain. However, we wanted to enjoy what little day light was left. As we got out of the car, we saw a

As night fell, we made our way toward the carnival games and rides. However, the path we decided on took us on a big circle around the main stadium where a children's show was going on. Unfortunately we didn't get to make it to the show as the stadium was beyond full! As this was one of the stadiums that hosted the 2000 Olympic Games, I can only imagine how many people the arena holds. As we

I took these photos of St. Mary's Cathedral, Hyde Park and Centre Point in downtown Sydney on Monday afternoon. It was a beautiful sunny day and those sites never cease to amaze me. You will notice the fountain shows scenes from Roman mythology. Can you guess which ones?

The mystery of the mysterious jelly-like creature in a previous post has been solved! Not sure where to turn, I posted my pictures in a forum on cryptozoology.com. A poster gave me a link to another photo and said it was a Salp. I have never heard of these creatures before, but in doing some research, their life cycle and impact are quite interesting....for me at least. Some interesting facts are

Hello all! These pictures are some of my favourites (or "favorites" to my American family & friends). The first three photos are of Sam, a miraculous survivor of the Victorian bushfires. His paws were burnt and needed help. Fortunately, a group of firefighters became his saviours, as well as other volunteers.Quick update on the bushfires, they are still burning in Victoria and South Australia

I got these from an email at work. They show koalas affected by the heat, most likely in Victoria and South Australia. Cute huh?

20/02/2009One of my favorite things to do is take a walk on the beach to relax. Sometimes we see the strangest things washed up on the sands. The first three pics are those of Blue Bottle Jellyfish (aka Portuguese Man of War). I hear they have a nasty sting and I hope I never find out how nasty. Scroll all the way down for more weird creatures.These little ones are about the size of a 50 cent

Welcome everyone to my new picture blog! I have been meaning to do this a long while ago and finally just decided to give it a go. I have so many pictures to share and I hope to add a new page every day or at least every few. My posts will be random on things I have experienced these past months since I have been here. Feel free to add your comments and share your thoughts.~Jessica10 February
