Writer’s Workshop: Zippy Comfort Items

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts alpha thursday, mama kat's writers workshop, talkative thursday, two questions

My family

There are a few things in life that brings me much comfort whenever I feel down or am having a bad day.

1. My family

They are my pride and joy. Even though they may drive me up the wall at times but without them around there will not be solace.

blue flowers

2. Flowers

I love roses and blue roses are my personal favourite. They always lift up my mood and make great deco around the house.

Chocolate Cake

3. Chocolate Cake

It is my go to comfort food whenever I feel down. Sometimes I will bake my own if I have the time or else will pop by the nearest cake shop and purchase a piece.

the boys

4. Being outdoors

Sunshine and being at the park or the beach really helps me feel more relax and at ease whenever I feel tensed up.

Teddy bear

5. Teddy bears

I couldn’t find a picture of my teddy bear so took one of Tiger’s girl’s instead. Both of us love our teddies and they really bring us lots of comfort.

What are you comfort items?

What is a must have for you?

Enjoying Nature with Macro Shots

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts, Wordful Wednesday wordless/wordful wednesday

pink flowers

Last weekend we brought the kids out to Labrador park. It has been a few years since we last been to the park and I felt that it was a great place for Monkey boy to try out his new skateboard. I had the chance to take some photos of the flora at the park while the kids were enjoying themselves.

White flower

I saw a really lovely white flower and couldn’t resist to take a shot using the Macro function of my DSLR. I’ve yet to figure out how to use the manual functions as yet so I’m still snapping on the presets on the dial.

IXora

Ixora is one of the common plants that we have in Singapore and there were plenty at this park.

White Spider lily

Another common flower in our tropics the Spider Lily

I’m really hoping to be able to get a Macro 100 lens this Christmas. I think that there would be a real difference between using a Macro lens and the Macro functions on the camera.

Do you love snapping Macro shots too?
