COSTA, SALLY, PATRICIA, CHARLES


MY PRIZE - VW CITI RHYTHM

This is the amazing prize that I won in a SPAR competition on June 6th 2007 - a VW Citi Rhythm!

(Note the number plate for future reference.)

SPAR, now a SUPERSPAR, is where I do all my grocery shopping.

KIRSTI

Kirsti and her UK brothers.




At about ten past five on Thursday, an amazing piece of light (sunset) settled on these flowers in my lounge and I had to take a photo, but didn't know if it was too dark to
achieve anything without a flash, tried anyway and came up with this.

I think it looks more like a painting than a photograph and
think its lovely.

If you are viewing this blog for the first time, you
need to know that it should be read from the BOTTOM
UP in order to get the timing and continuity right.
So if you are keen to see all 113 posts (that can be gone
through very quickly if desired), please scroll down and
start from the beginning.
Enjoy!

Lamp to hang over the dining room table.


This is definitely my most ambitious yet and I loved doing it even though it took me forever.
Have just completed a smaller version for Kate's dressing table.

The white bougainvillea looking pink.


First birthday coming up soon!


I can hardly believe that
he's going to be one in a couple
of week's time.
Good on ya Bro and Sis!

Bridge.


White bougainvillea - my pride and joy.


We bought this from the side
of the road a couple of years ago when
coming back from a
holiday in the bush.
When the flowers first appear
they are pink and white.

New teal-coloured walls.


Mike has wanted to paint at least two
walls inside the house a darker colour for years!
I finally gave in and now I think they
look gorgeous. Can't imagine why we didn't
do it sooner!
If the picture looks slightly out of focus,
it is, but I think you can get the feeling.

The tree of life. Our first Oriental carpet.

I have tweaked this picture a bit too much on my
Adobe Photoshop and here it
looks much brighter than it really is.

One of Mike's prized hybiscus.


Tam, if you're listening, this is the picture that you couldn't see and yes, its a hybiscus and not a hydrangea as I previously said!

Swimming at 8 months! Bloody marvellous!


I understand that he can chew up a storm with these gums and two new teeth at the bottom.


Did Lachie take this picture???

Collage of Hot Chocolate Lily


New special kind of lily (it has a long name that I can't remember) for our garden. Too beautiful.
I think its called hot chocolate.
