A-Z Blogging Challenge 2025 - D is for Dogs and Danger

As I travel the world I take many photos that pique my interest, these could be lumped into a "peculiar category" ie. they are peculiar to my interests and may be different from what one usually sees in a collection of travel photos.

For the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge in 2025 my theme is Peculiar Pics. During April I invite you to join me for an online tour of Peculiar Pics from my digital albums. These will be sourced from my travels between April 2024 to March 2025.

We often encounter canines as we wander the world. I am always buoyed by the generosity of their humans who are happy to have their pooches pose for impromptu portraits

It's a dangerous world that we live in. As we travel we are constantly reminded of the dangers around us.

Too busy to post

When I'm travelling I try to organise my photos into folders and attach metadata. If I have time I select and resize some photos from the day and save them into a folder ready to be uploaded to Facebook or a blog post. I'm fairly good with the Facebook posts but sometimes I don't get around to blogging.

Today I've spent a few hours deleting those folders of photos I've shared in blog posts and find myself with quite a collection that deserve a post.

As we've recently booked our next trip to the UK and Europe today I'm posting some photos from my EnglandSigns folder. These images remind me to keep my wits about me and stay safe as I travel in that foreign land.

Outback Welcomes

We had a super time on our recent adventure from Cairns to Darwin with Outback Spirit and we were made welcome in many of the localities we visited.

I managed to snap a few decent welcome images when we were stationary but had difficulty when I tried to take photos of some we spotted as we drove along. It was hard to capture these from a bumpy 4WD bus on dirt roads.
