The kids and me

Going on holidays is what I love the most. Every time the school holiday come around  we would be jetting off overseas on our next adventure.   Our last trip was to Tokyo Japan and it was the kids first winter holiday.

They went skiing and had fun in the snow. It was the first time that they were all so bundled up and our daily attire was totally different from what we would commonly wear in tropical Singapore.

We visited both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disneysea during our trip there too and  immersed ourselves in the Disney Magic.

Looking at  the pictures I took on the trip got me thinking about what a exciting journey I have had on this blog since it was created back in 2007.  Since then there has been nearly 2000+ post on the blog  on a wide range of subjects.

Dominique’s Desk has evolved since it’s infancy day to a blog which is focusing on Parenting and Education together with my passions in cooking and photography.

Looking on the stats from GA there are certain type of posts which draw more attention then other’s here on the blog. It is interesting to note that currently my series on Teaching Toddlers to Write which I wrote back in 2008 has suddenly picked up in traction. As you can see  4 out of 5 of the post in the series are being featured in the  Popular Post section over at the side bar.

The series on English Composition which I wrote in Jan- Feb this year also drew a lot of attention.  Education is certainly a topic which many parents are interested in .

Besides my posts on Education my photography features too are gaining attraction here on the blog.  Every  Wednesday I host ~ Wordful Wednesday  and the pictures on  Duo Colored Flowers  which was featured a few  weeks back  is ranking within the top 5 post this month  based on my GA stats.

Electrifying Blooms and Dinosaurs

Mesmerizing Light blue bloom

While looking through my photo archives on my laptop I spotted these pictures which I took during our last trip to Jeju Island, Korea.  I love the mixture of light blue and purple on this flower. It  would certainly be the highlight of any room if it was part of a display.

I love the pastel colors of the blooms. The color certainly looks refreshing and would certainly bring  joy to the receiver.

Dinosaurs in the garden

In the botanic gardens at Jeju island  I spotted these  cool looking statues.  Triceratops  and it’s friend were rummaging through the garden looking for food.

While moving around in the garden we spotted this huge  head in between the trees. It wasn’t that scary  as the place was brightly lit.

The statues within the gardens really added to the Jurassic feel of the place and do make a good backdrop for a “Back to the Future” type of movie.

How do you feel about pairing blooms
with dinosaurs?
