song of the day..

 Today i am constantly singing "love in the first degree" bananarama..

Had a nice quiet day with little one out and about.. I am still at my mothers house and the siblings are all sleeping(5.55pm) and my little one is playing and watching a video.. My feet are freezing and i so wish i had some socks!!

I went to help my mother at the shops today and there we were given a free sample of lenards spring roll. It was the most amazing i have tried in ages.. Sooo on the must buy list next shop!!

Well hope i haven't bored you too much..

Not always a nice blog

Whilst cooking dinner last night I recieved a call on my mobile phone from the florals. Wanting to talk to me about the quarrels that I have with mr sunflower.  I do appreciate there interest in the situation but struggle to talk to them about it.  At the end of the day they are my inlaws, if the shit hits the fan they become the enemy but my family are always around.  I would love to have some closeness with them but they always seem to find a way to justify what I consider to be a bad attitude (intolerable at times by hubby). Like really, I don't comment on thier marital situation and what I think ..

Some good news did come from said conversation though, they offered to take my young sunflower to the show today.  She is ever so excited.  Rides, animals, pavillions, fairy floss; all the stuff she loves.  She is already set to go (an hour early) and struggles to contain her excitment.  I look forward to a nice quiet day with my mother and siblings.. Should make for a lovely day! 

so far today

So far today, I have spent the morning listening to a certain little 3yr old telling me about the baby in my belly button. She is asking how she can see it and why it won't talk to her. she keeps drawing pictures of a belly button and a baby in my tummy.. It is the cutest thing. Staying here for the last few nights has been a nice break from everyday life.. It is strange how you com in to the city and the asthma flairs up, sinuses go haywire and geez I wish I could stop sneezing.

I guess when you are used to living in the country, you fail to realise just how clean and clear the air is that you breath, how much nicer rainwater(water tank) is then town water.. Although here I can have a 10 min shower! lol . Ahh the life. Will have to return to it all come Sunday.. Might even go back for a bit and drive back here for mothers day. Decisions decisions..

A peek at the precious that is my young sunflower

My little sunflower petal.  She is the sunshine on gloomy day and makes you want to pull your hair out on other days. Ahh the joys. This was taken recently and was taken on the way to dinner for my birthday. She is truely beautiful and pure at heart..

Out the back

When the weather is fine, there is nothing better then going for a walk around our acreage to see what creatures are out and about enjoying the sunny day.








This is one of our amazing neighbours.  The sound that this glorious Kookaburra makes is like nothing else.  Occasionally we have a number of them sitting on the fences and in the trees laughing as loud as they please.


The most common critter in our yard is this magnificant Lizard. It is very friendly and we have saved the lizards babies a few times. It let me get really close to take some photos. I hope you enjoy it like we do..

The raspberry thief

A while back we took a day trip to one of our favourite spots. We don't just go there for the amazing scenery, but for the huge plantation of wild raspberries.




They are fat, juicy, delicious and free. We always say we will bring some home but they all get eaten before we leave. 
Husband was picking himself some berries when he realised someone was stealing them before he could get any. I scanned around the area and found the thief.

Here is the thief.. The beautiful crow caught in action!

It would seem that no matter where we live, we are always surrounded by the beautiful Native Green Tree Frogs.  They are so friendly, photogenic and patient with a 3 yr old that is forever wanting to pick them up. One of the most charming and enchanting of the animals I have ever encounted.

Ducks by the pond

Here are the beautiful families of ducks I came across one afternoon. 

Happily sitting in the beautiful sun, mother, father and ducklings. They were truely beautiful.

The first post

I am someone who carries a camera with them everywhere they go, and incase i forget it or it runs out of battery I also have a mobile phone with a high quality camera.

I love to take photos of my daughter and she seems to be a the common target of my passion.. However, I do love old structures, nature, trees, logs, animals and the sky.. Capturing rainbows, storms or a lizard sitting in the tree is all part of my hobby.

I am always the one at the party, sports event, music concert, festival, museum, fair, fete, market anywhere with the camera.

So for my first post, I thought it only fitting that I show you some photos.
