Point and Shoot

Kicked off my weekend with a freshly brewed coffee for brekky and what was supposed to be a quick trip to a local garage sale.




An hour and a half later I finally made it home with a whole stack of goodies, my favourite of which is this.....





There is something about this treasure that really appeals to me. I wonder whose photos have been in here in the past? Where are those people now? And where has this come from, this funny little box. Well, actually...its quite a big box. And the wine lover in me is reminded of old crates of french wine for some reason? But maybe that is just my imagination running away with me ;)

And today bought an extra special, early birthday surprise....a new laptop!! So excited. If only it were arriving for my birthday tomorrow. Instead I will wait, not-so-patiently!

Bush walking and puddle jumping

The weather broke today, and out came the sun! After weeks of being sick constantly, and with the weather getting colder and a bit wet of late, I jumped at the chance to grab the camera and take the boy out for a bush walk and some puddle jumping! Haven't played with the camera since Easter, which is when all the nasty germs hit this household, so it was good to have it back in my hands and a willing model to humour me.

He wasn't so much into the puddle jumping though, unlike in the past. He wanted to puddle 'walk'; and told me off for jumping when I tried to encourage him. He said it was 'too disturbing'. Funny bugger!

Was a good time though, and I can feel my mojo coming back (of the photographic variety, don't get any funny ideas!) and I have a few photo shoots coming up shortly that I am really looking forward to getting stuck right into.

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy 3rd Birthday my baby boy. I can't believe how quickly you have gone from this...


...to this....

The time has gone by much too quickly for my liking, but it has been a blast the whole way. You are growing into a very independent, caring, intelligent and amazing little man who makes us so proud, and brings us so much joy, love and laughter every day. We are so lucky to have you in our lives.

Love you very much.
