Council money is ratepayer money; our money. I've found a way to save Australian local councils a total of six million dollars per year, every year, forever.

That's six million bucks of extra trees, bike paths, meals on wheels, youth centres, child care places - whatever you like. My plan is simple, proven and self-funding. Its effect is immediate and we can start now.

I work alone from my home office. Running your own business is great, but it can make you a bit paranoid. Last year was tough and, as my only employee, I really carried the can. When December came, I felt a party was needed to reward effort and boost morale.

At only 4 m x 6 m, our courtyard garden is tiny. But Nature can cram a lot of drama into a small space! Over the last ten years, I've recorded the trials & triumphs of the many things that have lived in or visited this little corner of the world.

From sick fish to dueling insects to sun-warmed doggies, this lens is about as lensy as a lens can get! I hope you enjoy the journey, which will unfold over the next few days.

This is a short treatment for a book I plan to write. It tumbled out of me one day, fast & clear, like a stream. It was great fun to link all the corporate jargon I'd encountered to in my HR career to the ephemeral world of the wee folk.

The characters fairly wrote themselves, which is always a rush for an author. When it's done, I hope this fable will give business people pause for thought. I also intend it to be a ripping yarn for all readers. To this end, I warmly welcome your frank feedback!

Footy. Yes? No? Maybe? An infidel's journey to the heartland.

I used to like Australian Rules Football (Aussie Rules Footy) but now I don't. By not liking the game or having a favourite team, I was able to record elements of a grand final event at Collingwood's Victoria Park home ground with dispassion.

Fans will know which match this was. Others won't care. People who hate footy may still find beauty in these images. At the end of this lens, you'll discover a situation of extraordinary irony that this fascinating field trip occasioned.
