Have you ever seen a lake so blue?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 23 Dec

We visited the Blue Lake and it lived up to its name. Even though it was windy and a little chilly, the blue color was quite deep! It's even better if it's brighter and calmer - I've seen this when we visited it a few years ago....

An attempt at camouflage? Did this lizard nail it?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 23 Dec

I saw this lizard at the reptile enclosure in the wildlife park. It had a unique shade of green. I wonder if this was to camouflage it. The shade of green was however very different from the footage around it. So you think this...

How many colors can a bird have ?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 22 Dec

I love a cassowary for the unique blend of colors that are there on its head and eyes. I just found out they are endangered and need to be protected. I've seen them only in some wildlife parks and zoos and never in the wild. I...

Finally, some Indian sweets as a Christmas gift!

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 21 Dec

We've been getting a lot of chocolate, cake and candies for little Christmas gifts. One of my Indian colleagues gave me this and it reminded me so much of home. Indian sweets are very different from what you get in Australia and I...

Christmas lights on a car!

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 20 Dec

I saw this car last week that was all decked up in Christmas lights! Looked very funky and Christmassy. Apparently this is illegal and cops can pull you over as it is unsafe!! Anyway, these folks in the car were obviously having a...

Another beachy, windy sunset

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 20 Dec

This summer is certainly getting beachy vibes. We did another drive to the beach to watch the sunset. The problem is the wind! It was quite a stiff breeze and made it chilly enough to make us wear jackets on the walk on the jetty....

Will this annoy you at a shopping space?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 17 Dec

I was doing s little Christmas shopping at kmart and came across this multiple times - drink cups and bottles shoved into the shelf between items for sale. It was a hot day and there were obviously people walking in with a drink,...

A dead body on my driveway!

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 16 Dec

Last night I got out of the door to lock the gate and noticed this dead body on the driveway. It was swarming with ants and looked like the murder had happened less than an hour prior. I left it as is and hope it's gone by the...

A fiery red tree

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 15 Dec

I saw this fiery red tree at a school and it looked awesome with its red color. It apparently may be a bottle brush tree. Made the place look even more Christmassy! The picture doesn't capture the magnificent tree colors and size....

I burnt my chapathi today - should I eat it?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 14 Dec

It was a little distraction. I'd just put the chapati on the tava and waked out to check something and forgot about it for a few minutes. Thankfully, it was on low heat! This is how it came out!! Fortunately, I remembered it and...

Do you think Mylot is less active or more active around Christmas and New year?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 13 Dec

With a lot of people travelling and spending time with family and friends, I wonder if forums like Mylot will be less active during the Christmas season. Ok the other hand, there's lots happening and people here may want to post...

A very Christmassy street!

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 13 Dec

We visited a street where there were many houses that were brilliantly lit up for Christmas. There were dozens of people who visit this street just to see these houses. Apparently it's a yearly spectacle. We spent a good hour...

It's Friday the 13th - does it scare you?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 12 Dec

Friday the 13th has so many stories behind it and some people are scared about it. It's just another day in life isn't it. Does it scare you or do you have any beliefs around it? I'm curious to see what people believe in!

A cute little alpaca at school

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 11 Dec

We had the Christmas Carol program by the kids at school on Monday with a sausage sizzle after that. The highlight was a little petting farm that was set up with a few animals and chicken. The alpaca ?? easily took the prize for...

A playground park sunset today?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 11 Dec

It's 7 pm and the sun showed no signs of setting as my little daughter played in the park. I loved the look of the park bench against the sun as it started dipping lower. Sunsets are taking forever now in summer - it's 8.30 pm and...

Kangaroo crossing the road - only in Australia!

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 10 Dec

We saw lots of kangaroos during our walk in the reserve on Sunday. Since it was close to a residential area, we also saw kangaroos in some of the houses and this kangaroo, with a joey in its pouch, comfortably crossing the road....

Oops - the milk has expired! What can I do with it?

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 8 Dec

We opened this milk can a couple of days ago and realised that it had expired over the weekend. I don't think I checked the expiry date we'll before we purchased it. We had 2 more cans, so the coffee and breakfast went ahead as...

Sunset by a lake!

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 8 Dec

After a string of beach visits, we decided to do an evening walk at a nearby Natural Reserve which had a small lake. It was great seeing the setting sun shed it's light through the trees onto the lake and lakeside. Lots of bird...

It stays beautiful even an hour after sunset with colorful hues at the beach

Pitstop @pitstop (14116) • Australia 7 Dec

We had dinner and drove past the beach yesterday at 9 pm and I was surprised that there was still enough light to make the sky and waves beautiful! Summer here in Australia is different and the nights seem so much shorter now.
