So, I took this photo at a quirky store in Kanab, Utah, after Trump's first victory in 2016. I'm wondering if they've put them back out again with a 200% markup! It's an incredible town, swept in by canyon views, with a Hollywood history as a movie location. "Little Hollywood's" red-rock canyon backdrop is so extraordinary. Gosh, I miss the US!

There's some harmony to this shot.

On the edge of my seat and my eyeballs are on the wall opposite watching this coverage from onboard Wild Thing in the knife-edge start of the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race! Love the sense of being there - warts and all! "Games On" is how the skipper puts it! ⛵️📹

Going through my pics for my website portfolios and this leaf monkey shot with my Nikon d810 came up. Such a shame that foliage gets in the way of what otherwise is an amazing shot - or does it add to it? Nature in its habitat. I encountered this little man on a solo trek in Bako National Park in Sarawak, which I love for its wildlife. Heading to Borneo soon to research for my Bradt Guides Borneo 5!

Cinnamon bun freaks alert! A radio feature for Monocle in London (packaged on my Mac). My infatuation with cinnamon buns, pursued in Cinnamon Bun land, Sweden. Birthplace of the . Tak Linda!

We head to Sweden, the home of cinnamon buns, or ‘kanelbullar’, to meet award winning home-cook Lina Walstrom. Monocle’s Tamara Thiessen heads to meet her in…

This photo of the close call for Wild Thing 100 with race winner Celestial at the beginning of the 79th Sydney Hobart Yacht Race takes my breath away. She nearly collided while tacking late within minutes of the start of the the race (as we watched on goggle eyed from the CYCA!) yet overcame that – and damage to the mainsail and starboard steering wheel – to come in third over the line. The power and the glory in every respect - and the danger and the thrills! ⛵️

These are very prettily called 'fiddleheads' on the fern fronds ... They look a bit like crochet to me as well.

Mauve Mosman evening. It always amazes me that I'm in bushland like this – at 8pm – a few kilometres from Sydney city! On my way back to Cremorne Point from Reid Park (a little jungle with great insect acoustics) ... views over Mosman Bay. 💜

Can you imagine facing this sight after 3 days at sea? The Tasman Peninsula in my home isle is renowned as one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. This (Tasman Island) reminds me of a fluted Cadbury's flake bar! The conditions are pretty mild currently: 8 knots at 3pm but picking up to 15-20. Welcome brave sailors to Tassie!
