Tell me what day it is, I am so lost....

having a long weekend,

is screwing with my head.

So is this double spacing on blogger.

Anyway, prompt was B/W,

numbers or sequence, I went

with B/W, and being Anzac Day

decided this little eternal light

thing from the epitath (sp?)

would be good.

Todays prompt was way different,

it was surrealism, had an apple,

some bugs and cutlery and some

other bits and bobs.

So I have gone with fruit and something

close to a bug. This is a little shrimp

in my friends fish tank this arvo.

These couple of photos are from

yesterday too, check out the brilliant sky.

Love this one, you can see the moon,

a bit of a rainbow, clouds, rain,

blue sky, seems to have it all.

This one was looking out the other way,

at last after a week of no sunset, I got this.

Here is an update for Tegan {slave driver}.

Not much to report, been really slack

and not doing much at all.

Weather has been crap for days,

hardly any blue sky at all.

I have been taking photos for

the daily comp, the prompts

really are great this time around.

Fridays prompt was a Black and White

pic with red highlights.

I thought about adding this random

bike that was near the park,

but then spotted this little doll in the

Village Store, so I played with photoshop

and edited like mad. Pretty cool hey.

Yesterdays prompt you could use

wood, striped socks, feet, shoes

or something else?

I went with the wood.

I used this pic that I took early in the day,

Really wish I had of used this one

that I took when I picked Sheri up

from work, heaps better pic.

I have done some scrapping but
didn't have the right photo

to put on it, so just finished printing

one now to take to work

with me. I am not

doing much for Anzac Day, being

Sunday it is my work day :(

I put the orange flower and some

others onto thumb drive to show

the lady at the Motel and she

was so impressed she wants me to

come and {try} take some pics

of the rooms to use in her web thingy

and on brochures advertising

the place. Not sure I am up to

that sort of thing, but I am willing to

give it my best shot, I have seen

what the other fella done, so

the bar is not set to high to start with.

That sounded nasty, just the pics

he took were washed out and didn't

look inviting.

Look at the time, 10.30 already

I better think about getting

ready for work, I have to hang

around and wait until Sheri

gets a call about work at lunch,

I should already be in there.

LOL, means more time to waste for me, Yay.

So have a great day, hope your

weather is good, and I will

catch you later.

No Scrapping.....

actually I have scrapped, just have not taken a pic.

At least I dont think I have, hmmm

not sure now.

And I have not taken a lot of photos

either, my littlest model is being

very unco-operative, too busy

being hard to get on with to have

a photo taken.

So I will bore you with the photos I

have taken for the photography comp

at Bons. First prompt was bright colours.

Last minute job this one, threw some

icing on arrowroot biccies and

added 100's & 1000's.

Second prompt was a pic of an awesome

sunset, take something from that, the colour,

the sunset itself, a silhouette, or group of people

(they were in the photo).

We are not getting great sunsets at the

moment, so I borrowed a flower

from the motel, Graham gave me permission,

and scooted over to Bruce Steer Pool

to take this pic, pretty rapt with

the way it turned out.

This was my second choice,

feeble looking sunset in the background.

A practice shot with the 50mm lens.

Gotta love the effect. This is a tiny

little weed from out the side, it was about

as big as a little fingernail, but you get

the gist of what the lens can do.

Same lens, and a picture of my

reluctant model. She yawned, sneezed,

shivered, turned away, you name it

anything so I could not take a pic.

This was the best i could come up with.

Thanks for stopping by,

please come back another day,

and see if I have got my lazy self

on her and done another post.

Catch ya on the flip side.

New Camera....Nikon D90

Ok, in all my excitement the other night

I forgot to actually tell you what I got.

Silly me.

I got a Nikon D90 with 18-105mm lens.

I looked at the twin lens kit, but

decided to get something a little better,

figured if I was spending that sort of money

I should get quality to start with, I am sure

it will save me money in the long run.

Somewhere down the track I will look

at getting a longer zoom but that can wait

for the time being.

So I have charged the battery and

am ready to go, and wouldn't you know

it the girls have both gone awol for

a few nights, who can I practice on now.

I did snap a few flower pics when

I went to feed a friends chooks.

I love this little bee, he looks so busy.

I am no gardener so I will say

this is a red flower,

and this is an orange one, hehehe,

I know I am hopeless.

So today I thought the sun is out,

should be a nice sunset, bah, stupid

clouds rolled in at 5 o'clock, so

I just got a couple of the beach and walkway.

Hope the girls realise I am going to drive

them crazy when they get home tomorrow.

I cant wait to have a real play.

*******

While I am here chewing your ear, how

about popping over to Bons Scraps

on Tuesday April 20th @ 7.30

for this months CyberCrop.

There will be the usual fun and games

and lots of chatter in chatzy.

Come and play Bingo,

have a go at the

Sketch, Colour and Scraplift challenges.

Flis will be running this months

free online class on the night.

Her sneak is looking pretty good too.

So come on, why not join in the fun.

Thanks for stopping by,

be good and I will catch you again

another time (hopefully tomorrow)

with some scrapping (if my mojo shows up)

and photos.

Scary Much.....

I paid for my new camera this morning.

I think it would have to be one

of the scariest things I have ever done.

Have I done the right thing....

I can tell you I had to take

a very deep breath before I confirmed

my purchase.

But....YIPEE

I am going to own a super duper

fantastic camera, and I am

stoked, cant wait for it to

arrive. It might be here tomorrow

but more likely it will be Wed

Thurs at the latest.

Patience, patience, but yay,

how totally exciting.
