My favourite, favourite ......

I took this one in Tassie - just on a dam beside the road.
I had to climb over a fence to get the shot.
I just like it.

Reflections of Canada

I think I got my best ever reflections in Canada.
The first one on the left was taken out the window of the Rocky Mountaineer on the way across from Toronto to Banff. The second one of the mountain lake is at Lake Patricia just out of Banff where we went on a 'wildlife' hike. The last one actually wasn't taken in Canada but it was in the New England of the United States on our 'Fall Foliage' tour - beaut eh? We live in a beautiful world.

Litle Blue Riding Hood

 

I forgot this one.
I had just enough tartan fabric for this poncho and lined the hood with some fleecy that I had in the stash too.
Might have been better in red but hey - I already had this and she looks so cute and snug in it.
I bought her some mittens with cut off fingers on the weekend and after I got them on her tonight, she wanted to wear them to bed.
She's sleeping over again - Mum and Dad are off to the WIN Entertainment Centre to watch the OPALS play basketball.

Harry who?

 

No it's not Potter - it's our Harry - his latest mug shots.
He looks kinda cool in Dad's glasses don't you think eh?
Actually he looks very like his big brother Nick.

 

 

What can I say?
'Don't I have a great smile Mardie?"
Of course you do darling!

Look what I found on the footpath in Bobbin Head Rd ...

I'm sure it was a give away - I hope. LOL

 

Anyway, I took it home - gave it a scrub up and tightened some screws - added a new seatbelt and some wing nuts to secure the seat.
Doesn't Zara love it???? Too right she does.
She does 'broom broom' noises to match.
Trouble is she doesn't steer too well yet and her feet don't quite reach the pedals.
Oh well she is growing...
Until then I guess I just have to push and steer all at once.
Ho hum.
What else are grandmothers for???

Sydney by night ... I can't resist it

I just have to take the camera when I go into the city.
We went to the Opera House to see 'My Fair Lady' for my birthday so here are a few shots I took that night. Note the time on the Central Station clock towe.
Why do we travel overseas when we have THIS right here at home?

Creek Reflections

Reflections have always been a favourite of mine so I have a few stored away and I'll get them out over the next couple of weeks.
I couldn't resist taking a few more when down at Bateman's Bay recently.
Early morning is a good time so with lovely light and no wind I found these great ones a couple of weeks ago.
Sometimes it's hard to work out which the actual scene and which is the reflection - usually the reflected sky is bluer in the water.

Canine Reflections .... at Corrigans Beach Bateman's Bay

Well, now that Kambrachallenge is done for another year, I have a few moments to upload some reflections.
Number one - here's Bottomley Potts covered in spots - our Bailey - only just caught. It is sure hard to manage to get her in focus, in the middle of the frame and WITH a reflection. Hence she is running OUT of the photo. LOL


Little Lulu - much quieter and easier to snap.


And, here's the pair of them on the go.
We have found a great dog friendly beach with a creek outlet which allows for some great reflections.
