Picturesque people of Palermo

On September 23, 2026 By JeremyIn Travel and such

Do try to keep up as we change focus back to our recent travels. Remember how we created a touching photo-essay on the canines of Sicily? Well, not to neglect my roots, I also managed a few shots of interesting people out in the streets of that fine city. We've discussed street photography to a …

Look who’s back!

On September 21, 2026 By JeremyIn Braidwood

We take a break from infrequent travel posts to tell you we're home -- and so are the Nankeen Kestrels. After two flights, ten hours in Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, four hours in a bus, and a surreal drive to Braidwood (all without sleep), I set out early yesterday morning (thanks, jetlag!) to fetch Archie from …

On September 7, 2026 By JeremyIn Travel and such

Right -- let's get into it. For some reason, we find ourselves on the island of Sicily. Among many associations of the place, one everyone will agree on is its food and drink. And as Daniela is the daughter of a chef, who grew up in restaurants and kitchens, food and drink are always high …

Content warning: pivot approaching

On September 6, 2026September 6, 2026 By JeremyIn Travel and such

OK, so it would come as no surprise to my seven-odd readers that this blog has been languishing in the doldrums for some time now, with the odd surge of 'content' regarding birds and photography and stuff. The question arises: abandon or rejig? Truth be told, I rather like getting the stew of thoughts in …
