Still catching up

Sat 22nd Oct - Day 83

Summer Weather is finally here so we got out and about bright and early today.  We had breakfast at a local cafe and then headed to a few fete's.    I then went to a BBQ at an old Rover freind's house who lives on the coast which is exciting and also great to catch up with some old friends.  Tonight was a quite one - watched the movie Water for Elephants - totally recommended it if your looking for a good movie to watch. I decided to dedicate today's photo to Breakfast because it was so tasty!

Sun 23rd Oct - Day 84

Again another brilliant sunny day - I spent the morning in the garden weeding - I managed to fill a green bin full of weeds - I am determined to get the jungle tamed over the next few weeks so I can then start designing and working out what to plant over the summer - hopefully I can finally get my herb garden started.  I then had a 1st Birthday party to go to - it was my friend Bec's little girl Lia - it was good to catch up with Bec and Erin as I haven't seen them for a few weeks and it was a nice chilled out afternoon hanging at the Canty residence.  This is Lia and all her toy's - I think Fisher

 Price should sponsor them she has so many of their products!!!

Monday 24th Oct - Day 85

Walked out the front door at the sparkling hour (not) of 6.00am this morning only to notice that I had some new flowers  I think they are lillies - they grow over my fish pond which I need to drain as all my fish have died (sad face) when they flower it is only for a few days (they are dead already!!) so I thought I would capture these as my flower of the week as I know how hectic monday's are and I doubt I'll have time to shoot anything else today.

Tuesday 25th Oct - Day 86

Totally uninterested in taking photo's this week - am running out of ideas on what to photograph and it's only Day 86 - mmm going to have to seek inspiration somehow - I'm going to blame my lack of motivation on the weather - we had Summer for two brilliant days and it's gone again - hopefully my motiviation will pick up soon!!  I ended up at K-mart tonight and as it is only 2 months til Xmas decided to dedicated today to the Big Man himself - these were taken on my phone, hence the collage.





Wednesday 26th Oct - Day 87

This is my life at the moment - I lost my Itunes about a month ago so I am busy burning all my CD's again - it is a very long process and even though I try to do it a few nights a week, I'm still only up to the letter F - yes I'm anal and catalogue my CD's in alphabetical order!!

Really need to start learning more about how to blog as once again I can't turn this picture around - quite annoying really - will add it to the list for my January Holidays!!

Days 54 - 56

Days 54- 56 Weekend

 

Hooray for weekends, but man they just seem to disappear far too quickly.

Day 54 - Friday 23rd Sept 11 - Kye

Today's photo is of my good friend Mandy's son Kye.  Mandy is pretty much my oldest friend, we have known each other since Kindy and I think it is pretty cool to still be friends with someone nearly 30 years later.  Mandy had asked me to babysit her two kids so she could have a night out in the city and knowing how lovely her kids how could I refuse.  Her youngest Zoe went to bed no problems at 7.30 and then Kye and I sat up watching the footy (Manly won - whooo hooo bring on the grand final now!!).  I took a few photos of the kids, but I have messed with one of the settings on the camera and everything is coming out blurry (even when I manual focus) - so I had to reset the whole thing on Sunday.  I think this is a lovely photo of Kye, even though he has a bit of a black eye after a basketball injury that day. I am working on my portrait photography and I think the lighting could of been better, hopefully my new flash will help fix that.

Day 55 - Saturday 24th Sept 11 - Lia

Today started with breakfast with my lovely friend Bec and her daughter Lia - we have been trying to catch up for weeks now and finally secured a time and date - I absolutely love this photo - Lia is nearly 1 and she is going through that "look at me I'm so cute phase" - she just looks so happy in this photo. The rest of my day was spent dancing and cleaning - we had rehearsals for a performance this evening and then I did a ballet fit class - awesome but really hard and so sore as I write this on monday.  Tonight we had a Girls Night at the studio where I do my dancing, Tina and her sister Amanda (who has just returned from a long stint in the UK) came down to see me perform my Brazilian Samba routine - it was so much fun, it's been awhile since I performed and of course I loved it - am now looking forward to doing a few more performances. 

Day 56 - Sunday 25th Sept 11 - Shells

It is raining big time here today and the house is a disaster as Tina's kids came to stay and as much as I love them to bits, hey certainly know how to make a mess - all of us where a bit lethargic (maybe a bit hungover =)) this morning so we just lazed around playing with the kids and watching friends - once Tina went home I had a major cleaning mission.  I don't know what inspired this shot - I just was walking around the house looking for something easy to shoot and this was my best photo of the day - I think it's pretty - the colours worked out really well considering what a miserable day it was - must be my awesome photography skills LOL!!
