It's easy to talk about an authentic life... It's much braver to really lead one. To all the sport dancers at @gaygames.bsky.social at #ValenciaGayGames congratulations for bringing so much joy. #Pride

Let's do this!

Dramatic orange and yellow light from the rising sun reflects on scattered clouds. The sun is rising over Sydney skyline

A day making sushi plates. Grape expectations! #art #creativity

Unser clay plates on an art board. The plate has a raised impression of grapes on a vine

Please give my partner @jeffjohnsonn.bsky.social a follow on @bsky.app ... He was among the brave riders of the new Lunarix ride at the #EasterShow in Sydney.

It's night. Arms of a steel carnival ride emerge from the theatre smoke to show brave riders in spinning chairs.

Good morning... The sun over Manly Beach Australia is striking my first coffee.

A cafe table in the morning. A full milk coffee in a glass is in part shadow and part bright light from the sun.

I'm away from the office and exploring Bangkok for the first time with my Fujifilm XT3. The Yaorawat Road through Chinatown is a feast for all the senses. #photography #thailand #bangkok #fujifilm

Aunty Nid makes traditional Thai iced tea from a small shop near the palace in Bangkok. She includes a couple of tablespoons of sugar, condensed milk, and boiling red tea. No wonder there's always a long queue of customers. #Thailand #AuntyNid #KerroTravels #Bangkok

Hey good people at @leaflet.pub ... Can you think why an image on my recent blog has been blurred? It's an image of people in a cafe. Perhaps it's something I've accidentally turned on? Here's the post: johnkerrison.leaflet.pub/3mgynmbycf222

Three staff work behind the bar at a contemporary cafe in Chiang Mai. A teal green counter and down lighting make the space feel modern.

A baby elephant shakes her head and waves her trunk with joy. The naughty resident has broken into a small garden full of herbs and vegetables at the ethical Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai. A keeper arrives to lead her away from the spoils. #elephants #animalrescue #Thailand

A baby elephant in a small herb garden with a fence appears to be smiling. She is tilting her head and waving her trunk.

John Kerrison@johnkerrison· Mar 12

It truly is an incredible experience. For two hours, keepers take small groups of about six people around the park. They know most of the animals well, including those happy to be near people. The elephants are playful, emergetic, curious. Just astounding.

Chiang Mai's renowned Elephant Nature Park is the country's ethical home of rescued elephants. We were are able to wander the grazing yards where elephants are safe. No riding or touching the animals. Unforgettable. #Thailand #wildlife #AnimalRescue #travel

I breathe in and I know I am here. I breathe out and I know I am here. One of serene statues at Wat Phra Yai, Koh Samui #Thailand. #buddhism #buddhist

A brown and worn statue of the seated Thai Buddha is covered in a wreath of bright yellow flowers. There's the dark of a temple in the background.

On a boat cruise from Koh Samui in Thailand, we stopped at pig island or Koh Madsum. Tourists wade in azure blue waters while a colony of domestic pigs wait on the beach to be fed. #Thailand #holiday

I try to remember life is a series of seasons. My work lately has been intense, almost overwhelming. This is my current moment. Worth it. Worked for it. Calm.

I won't rub it in!

That was a cool night of music. Harleigh Grey and Allan Parmenter from band Genie Loci performing at the Gasoline Pony in #Marrickville #Sydney. Eva Haythornthwaite not photographed. To top it off, I also met someone IRL who was using @bsky.app

A plug for the little cafe where I've just had brunch and good coffee. It's in Erskineville NSW. #coffee #gratitude #smallbusiness

A sandwich board sign outside a cafe with black wall tiles. It reads, The Mitchell Road Cafe. Coffee. Food.

Good morning. Two kangaroos grazing in the morning sun in Australia. The first light of the day always helps with perspective. #sunrise #Australia #goodmorning

A weekend away on the coast. The combination of the #Fujifilm 35mm original lens with the Acros profile is a delight. The dynamic range and ability to create those retro tones of almost-silver make for special prints. #photography #photos #monochrome #fineart #blackandwhite

Just south of Sydney, hang gliders and kite gliders take off into calm winds. Stanwell Tops has long been renowned for this intense sport. Enjoying testing #Skylight Social...

John Kerrison@johnkerrison· Apr 16

Another dabble with #Skylight Social, the attempt on AT Protocol at a TikTok style app. Still a little clunky? Android still missing features, I believe. Say Hi!

John Kerrison@johnkerrison· Apr 11

The Boiling Crab restaurant in Sydney. A tradition of the American south or so I'm told? Piping hot seafood, on a table, eaten with your hands. Fun! #foodie #sydneyfood #travelfood #vlogging

I was waiting at Sydney airport this morning and saw a man dressed as an inflatable koala. He was waiting for family in the United kingdom. Haha. That is one exceptional 'Welcome to Australia'. Video description: the crowd is waiting at an airport arrivals Hall. A man is in a koala suit

Hey! Loving the idea of a scrolling video app. This was shared via Skylight Social. I've signed in with Blue Sky account and this is my first upload.

Something fancy happening at Sydney Town Hall tonight for L'Oreal Paris!

A photographer takes photographs of women models wearing evening wear. They are standing on the external steps of Sydney's town Hall.

My partner and I watched the sun rise at Bronte this morning. It's a grand show that's changing and fleeting and suddenly over when a small sun sits high in a vast blue nothing. Sunrise is a daily reminder that life is changing and fleeting and suddenly over. Enjoy every moment.

Titanique #Sydney extended AGAIN. The cast is amazing. Here 'Celine' sings her heart out for Mardi Gras #FairDay

Happy year of the snake! This gentle beauty is a carpet python seen today at the Lane Cove National Park today. #NSW #Sydney

I've not seen this before? Google search in Australia has an X carousel above results? Ugh. Is anyone else seeing this? #Auspol
