Trevor's Writing

More of my writing

No Comments »12th January, 2013; Category: Christian, Devotional Writing

As from late last year I’ve taken on the role of webmaster of our church website. This means writing for three other sites in addition to this one. Sometimes I think I must be a little crazy, but this new one will be shared by several other writers. Any articles with the letters TH at the end were written by me.

For those of you who may be interested in reading some of my writings on spiritual matters, click here to read what I’ve written on the Murray Bridge Church of Christ site. Some of the articles will be current news items, while many others will be devotional thoughts on a range of topics.

Trevor’s Travels – here in Australia and in Nepal, Morocco, Ethiopia and Spain.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all of my readers.

I didn’t posted here on this site much last year. Sorry if this has disappointed my readers. It probably indicates that I have been rather busy; nothing new in that. As from this month and the new year my situation has changed considerably. I am hoping to post here on a much more regular basis in the coming twelve months – and beyond. I have some – I hope – exciting and interesting new projects in the formative stages of development, now that I have the time to devote to them, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, I wish all my readers a wonderful new year; I hope that 2013 brings you writing success.

Good writing.

Happy birthday to me

Flower in our garden

To all my regular readers I’m sorry there has been quite a delay since my last post here. I’ve been busy finishing off the academic year and getting snowed under a little with all the end of semester marking. Nearly there.

I ignored the assignments waiting for my attention today because it’s my birthday.

I had a relaxing day, didn’t pressure myself in any way, enjoyed the lovely spring sunshine and gentle breeze. The highlight of the day was chatting via Skype with my grandchildren in Sydney. Precious times. Nearly went out birding, but didn’t in the end. I did manage to get a few nice shots of some of the flowers in our garden. I find our native plants and flowers very inspirational for writing, especially poetry.

Max Fatchen

It was a sad day yesterday as South Australia farewelled one of our beloved writers, Max Fatchen. The popular author died at the age of 92 after a career which started in 1946. He was a renowned journalist, columnist, humorist, novelist and quirky poet.

His children’s books alone places him at the highest level of children’s literature in Australia, but he was far more than that.

His regular poems and columns written for our state daily newspaper The Advertiser will remain in the memories of many for years to come.

Wonderful words and beautiful photographs

Rose flower in my son’s garden

From time to time I’ve shared some of my photographs here on this site, often illustrating one of my poems.

Today I hope that your attention is grabbed by these lovely flowers photographed in my son’s garden in Sydney.

I don’t want to feature one of my poems; instead, I would like to draw your attention to a beautiful poetry site called Conversations with Nature.

One section features wonderful poetry illustrated by beautiful photographs. Click here to enjoy.
