Day 239- Pool Cake!

26 August 2012- My little brother's birthday- he told me he had a pool cake and he certainly did!  Two flavours of blue jelly in the pool to get the illusion of depth 

Day 227- Sunset over Mt Coot-tha

14 August 2012- Waiting to be picked up from work, I could see these amazing colours!

Postcard 134- USA

Received 7 May 2012 from the USA.  A reproduction of the first cover of the Freen Lantern comic!  I don't really read comics, but I do like the cover images.  postcard id: US-1655152

Day 186- Bird

4 July 2012- Sometimes living in Australia brings about moments that are hard to believe. There were about 20 of these birds just hanging out in the trees here. Yes, the owner was encouraging them to do so by providing food, but these are wild birds!  Not something you see everyday in the USA or UK. In all fairness, Australians are often amazed/gobsmacked by things like rabbits or squirrels.  Squirrels don't exist here, and I don't think anyone was silly enough to try and import them.

Postcard 131- Ukraine

Received 7 May 2012 as part of the April alt RR, a lovely dreamy picture.  The artist is Kate Dudnik, the picture is called night fishing.  Lovely.  sender id: happyjulia

Received 26 April 2012 from the United Arab Emirates, as part of the April alt RR, a pastel sketch from toy story! sender id: hamodi

Received 26 April 2012 from Belgium.  Traditional lace making- it looks very complex! postcard id: BE-145393

Postcards 69-79 China

Received 21 March 2012 (i think) from China.  This was a surprise, as I received this package of 10 cards (and three coins) from someone I sent a card to.  He was so impressed by the card I sent, he sent these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Postcard 67- Finland

Received 21 March 2012- This very colourful card is from Finland.  I think it looks like feathers, but at first I thought it was a flower.  Postcard id: 1357499

Day 2- Kyoto Station

2 January 2012- We went to Kyoto for the day for another shrine visit (Gion) and a taste of the madness of new year sales. Kyoto station is an impressive piece of modern architecture. We are on the 9th story, looking down banks of stairs to the station area.

Postcard 152- Netherlands

Received 1 November 2011. It is a rather gorgeous photo. Very simple, but also very well composed. The card also came with a lovely JonathanSwift quote. The artist is Anni Leppala.

Day 316- Roo!

12 November 2011- We were staying at this resort, the units were right off the 18th green (which would be much more interesting if I played golf) and late in the afternoon this roo decided to pay us a visit. If you look closely at her pouch, there are some feet visible, but the joey didn't come out. This is not a zoom shot, there were no fences, I was actually this close.

Postcard 125 -USA

Received 9 September 2011 - This is a painting by Tim Wistrom, of an underwater Space Needle. After getting this postcard I went and viewed his website and I really like some of his work. Happy to receive cards like this anyday!
Edit: My blog stats tell me that this is the highest referring item on my blog- a lot of people end up here, looking for ünderwater space needle.  It's an awesome picture, but why are you googling the phrase?

Day 262- The view up here

19 September 2011- I went to an information session on Sharepoint, and it was held on the twentysomething floor. I have never worked above the 8th floor in any of the buildings I have been in (and usually lower). Probably a good thing as I would be very distracted by the views. A very different perspective from that on the ground. And buildings in brisbane have very ugly rooftops

Day 234- Double rainbow

23 August 2011- On the way to work we spotted this double rainbow. A bit hard to capture with an iPhone camera, but I did my best

Day 201- Coffee wave

20 July 2011 - A photo of my airport coffee- This pattern must have been created by the barista- very topical as we were at the Gold Coast- A beach vacation area.

Day 127 Embroidery

7 May 2011- Not mine, but an embroidered tablecloth at this local craft thing I took my mum to.

Day 126 - From my window

6 May 2011- Sometimes serendipity calls. I have only just noticed the amazing orange flowers outside my window, when a brightly coloured rosella(I think, I am not always sure of my bird identification) pays a visit. Double click to get a better view.
