First day of Prep....

Well....it was my baby's first day of school yesterday.......

She has been so excited, counting down the days till she started........






Her uniform was SO big for the poor little thing.....she is only a size 3 and the smallest size available is a size 6......so there was alot of alterations!! Her pleated skirt wraps around her nearly twice!!!



Here she is ringing her Grandma.......telling her she's going to school......although she has already told her a thousand times, lol......







At her new desk.......ooohhhhhhh she looks SO little!!



So........what am i gonna do NOW!! It feels so wierd not having her at home, pottering around, hearing her little voice playing and singing!!


I can think of a few things off the top of my head........

Mr Darcy.......

I have always loved his name........(Mr Darcy from that FANTASTIC show Pride and Prejudice...how could you NOT)

Hasn't he got the most GORgeous eyes!!

My girl........

I couldn't resist putting these up.......






oh and this one.......isn't she adorable!!





Time for a Change........

So.....seeing as it is a new year and all........i thought a NEW banner was in order......

Just something fairly plain, simple and easy on the eye was what i was after.......and seeing as i live out bush, i thought these photo's summed that up pretty much!!

So do you like???

I warned you........

......that there will be alot of photo's coming up.......i have been having LOTS and LOTS of playtime with my new lens.......I'm so in love with it - i would marry it if I could, LOL!!















There's still heaps more yet!!

These few are with their cousins.......they are more than that tho.....they are best friends too!

I have been trying a few different textures in my photo's......just to see what they look like......What do you think???

I need your help........

I put this photo into a competition online......and i didn't realise that you had to get votes for it to win.......

Yaaaaaaay......its here......my new lens.........the 50mm f1.4.......and so far i loooove it!! (Well i;ve only had it for about 4 hours and have had a little play......


The kids are staying at Grandma's today.......so i haven't had my usual models.......SO i had to use Big Ted......oh well - better than nothing, lol!!
I LOVE the DOF (or lack of it) that this baby gives........
.....so look out people....there's gonna be lots of practice shots coming up!!

A New Obsession.......

Well...... I have a new obsession.......and its called Flickr!!

The talent of the photographers on this site are seriously AMAZING!! I have been pouring over the endless photo's, getting heaps and heaps of inspiration.

Here's a couple of pics from down the paddock!


Which has now also inspired me to buy more lenses for my camera.......Yep -another expensive hobby, lol!!

We've also had my nephew Calypso up here during the school holidays.......so its been hectic keeping up with the three kids......but fun too!

It also means lots of photo's......and the kids groaning, "Not again, Mum!!"


But does it look like I'm fazed.......ummm, NO!!!!
