Curious Critters by David Fitzsimons in the first children’s book which I have reviewed that has great hi-resolution photos of the actual insects/animals.

This book for children 4-8 year olds really captures the attention of the reader through the stunning images of the insects and animals.

David’s photography is simply top notch as he is able to capture up close through his camera the “essence” of the individual insects and makes one take a second take at insects that we may not even give a glance at in our everyday life.

Through the brilliantly taken photograph one is able to see up close the minute details of an animal like a frog and observe the texture, colour and shape from the legs to the eyes.

There are snippets of information about the characteristics of each critter next to the insect/animal. There is even pages dedicated to informing you about their natural history.

I found this book very informative and it would really capture the attention of little ones who are keen to learn more about critters.

SOC: Making Changes

Dominique Thoughts Stream of Conciousness

I have been doing weekly and monthly plans for the past couple of months to make myself more accountable to myself. Not all that I have planned to do for the week/month actually gets carried out due to unforeseen circumstances or me running out of steam as the week progresses. It’s like you are so on the ball on Monday but by Wednesday your drive seem to have fizzle off and it is ultra hard to be disciplined and keep to schedule.

It can feel rather depressing at time when there are many things on the list which still remain unchecked off at the end of the week/month. Your targets are not met and they have to be revised or expected target date ( especially for my weight lost target) have to be put back for a few months.

I’ve decided that now in November to start off again on a new slate and be more realistic in making changes. I’m going to start slow and stop being so hard on myself if the target is not reached by the targeted date. I believe if I constantly work hard towards my targeted goal I will reach there eventually ( within a reasonable allowance in time given).

Changes are something which have to happen and this week is the time to do it.

I’ve started with something that I have wanted to do for the longest time – Change this blog design. I’ve have wanted to update the header and give the blog a makeover as I was getting tired of the old design.
