Another bird or two, and some random shots of stuff.

This one is a very poor pic of an overstuffed

Eastern Rosella, he was so fat that he was just hopping

along, could hardly lift himself off the ground.

He would not stand still long enough for a

decent pic.

Gallahs are more camera shy than me, you can

nearly walk up to them and pat them and

they don't even blink, put a camera in your

hand and they fly away, so I was pretty

stoked to get this pair on the feeder the other day.

Check this one out, I managed to snap him mid scratch.

Just a quick pic of the girls after the movies the other day,

such a social life these girls have.

A very wild pic of Sheri taken at the beach the other arv.

Look at those curls, her hair was straight until

a couple of months ago, now we can see it getting more

like mine everyday. It looks to be getting darker too.

A very random pic of miss Tiff, I was standing above

her, I like this pic, just a little bit random.

I let Sheri have the camera to take a pic or two of

me, even though I have a severe case of camera phobia,

I must say that she has done a pretty good job,

I mean the subject was not the best but

you know what I mean. Changing the settings to

black and white has eliminated most of the grey from

my wild hair. Cant do much about the wrinkles,

but the way I look at it I earned every single one

of them so they are my badges of honour.

Bloody ringlets, just look at them,

a lady my age should not have ringlets.

The closest I have come to taking a pic of a sunset.

Tiff running along the edge of the sand with the sun

behind her.

Tiff and her friend Sarah have learnt how to do

handstands in sync. part of their gym training at school.

Check this out, remember the sunset pic that was totally red,

when we had to design our new tide guides I gave the pic

and a few others to the fella, he was totally awed by

my pics, so used this one for the guide, with an

old pic of Sheri with a monster Bream that she caught.

Ok, enough of the crap. I am totally not liking the double spacing,

makes my post look enormous.

Thanks for stopping by, thanks for any comments

you may choose to leave.

So until next time be good, if you cant

be good be very careful. Seeya.

Birds....Long post

A few pics of the bird life that came to visit today.

I bet I looked a right clown taking these, I was

laying on the floor inside, while half hanging out the

door snapping away at these colourful birds,

they kept getting startled when I stood up

and would fly away, ha ha, I tricked them.

First a King parrot, I thought he was on top of the

pecking order, boy was I wrong,

then I thought maybe it was Maggie here, but

it sort of sat back and waited it's turn,

these beautiful little Rainbow Lorikeets ruled

the feed box, they would not let anything

else near it.

Love this one, pity about the chain covering his face.

These parrots come by the dozen, granny brain

here, I cant remember what they are.

The ones with all the green are babies,

the bright red ones are adults.

I played with the settings while they were bossing

each other around, I turned onto shutter mode

and got this one in flight.

I had the camera resting on the step and managed

not to shake.

Yesterday while I was at work Mark

noticed a bird we had not seen before, so

I kept an eye out for it this morning,

we thought it must be a pigeon of some sort,

but after a google search we think it is

a Brown Cuckoo Dove.

He has a nice name don't you think?

This is the only decent pic I managed to get

of the white headed pigeon, he is behind

the Brown Dove, they usually

manage to come and chase everything

else away, the other birds are learning to be bossy

and stand their ground now.

And finally 2 Layouts.

I am going to sub them and get rejected for sure,

so I will put them here now,

this one of the Crazy girls fell

together so easily, it was fun to do.

I am really happy with how it looks.

And miss T riding the waves. Not real

sure about this one, its not right but I

am not sure why.

I really need to do some scrap supply shopping,

I am fast running out of stuff to use.

Though I am finding papers I had forgotten about.

**************************

I have a sick Sheri at the moment,

she has the sniffles, hope it doesn't

turn into anything serious.

She said one of the boys at school had

swine flu, and his mum is a teacher and

she still came to school, probably spread it

around to everyone.

Did you pop over to Tara's blog and check

out our little man. He is so much like

Craig at the that age it is scary.

Ok, I have written a newsletter that tells

you nothing, so I had better kick myself off here.

If I have not commented on your blog, it

is because I am lazy, not because I have not

been looking. Thanks for stopping by.

Sunsets and Layouts

Just two pics today, I am getting so lazy.

Taken up the river at sunset.

Not a cloud in sight so not a great pic.

This one is better, there were a few

clouds around, it is a pity there was not a drop

of rain in them, we really need a downpour.

One of the LO's I have done recently,

it was supposed to be all white, but it

was too bright (go figure), so I toned it down

with the cream flowers and stuff.

It is a pic of Scott, Jade and Ellora, I set up

a mock studio to do a photo shoot for them.

This one is my Niece Nat's little girl,

she is now 6 months old and looks

like a real girly girl.

I love how this has turned out, so pink

and frilly. I scrap-lifted a LO of mine

that I done not long ago called

'Sweet wonderful you'

I liked the way it all fit together so I

copied it and am equally happy with this one.

This one I finished at work today, it

took me most of the day to do it,

I am so not used the scrapping boy pics.

I tried not to put flowers on it, but it got the

better of me, I really need to go to a

scrap shop, I am using a lot of old stuff

because it is all I have left, which is

great I suppose if I look at the fact that I am

actually using it instead of hording it.

Wonder should I bother to submit any of these.

I have not subbed for ages.

Might just do it, like I keep telling myself

rejection is good for the soul.

Ok enough of the rubbish from me.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend

planned, my only plan is to sleep in tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.

Not much happening in my neck of the woods.

We have finally had some rain, the first

decent lot in something like 3 months.

I have been taking pics but too slack to

do anything with them.

I have a few Lo's to show but need to

get permission to show them first,

they are of family, but I had best ask first.

I think that is about all from me. I cant

think of anything important enough to

share with you all, so goodnight from

me, be good, and I will catch you

all another day.

A couple of photos

Just a few of the photos I have taken over

the past couple of weeks.

I thought I re-sized more than this,

but it is late and I am not sure what I am doing.

This is one of the King Parrots that

we feed everyday.

Early morning sun over Beares Beach.

Do you have any idea how cold the sand is

when the sun is rising, my toes felt like

they were about to drop off, maybe

I should have worn something on my

feet, but I was in a bit of a hurry.

I had been up since 5.30 cooking bacon and egg

rolls for the crew on the fishing boat,

Mark and I went to all the trouble to make

them and keep them hot and the clowns

didn't eat them til 1 1/2 hours later.

---------------------

Smoke from Drom, it looked like Bermi was

burning, the smoke was so close.

This one was taken from on the headland,

believe it or not there is a mountain in that smoke

it looked as if it had burned to the ground.

The sun this arvo, I hung out of the car up the main

street this arvo to get this pic, it would have

been truly spectacular if I could have

spared the time to wait for some more colours

to come.

This one was taken closer to home.

Usually I don't see the sun where it was today,

I love the way it is sitting behind the tree.

I have heaps of other photos but am being lazy

and cant be bothered resizing them.

I have run out of stuff to say, my brain is on

strike, must be past my bedtime.

So thanks for stopping, and leaving

me your love.

Some Layouts

Hi all, guess what I actually remembered what my

password is, so long since I have graced my blog

it is not funny. I have been taking some photos

but not everyday, I am really slack, lol.

I was getting sick of only seeing sunsets

with the occasional sunrise chucked in.

I think I will start again when there is more

sunlight in the day.

Update on my stupid washing machine, after

a bit over 3 weeks it is sort of working,

Mark is not the best Mr fixit, seems like something

always gets broken while he is fixing the first

problem. Thanks to everyone that let me use

their laundries while mine was out of action.

Enough of that for a minute.

Here are a few of the Lo's I have done

over the past couple of weeks,

first Baby Ellora, Scotts little one.

Her hand is all blurred in the pic,

she was stretching.

Think I have used this pic before,

I was at work the other day and had nothing to use

so scrapped this again. My plan was to use only pink

and green, think I may have got a bit mixed up

seems to be a lot of brown there as well.

This started out as a sketch challenge over at

http://u2schallenge.blogspot.com/
I had trouble with the sketch so it has been

turned and twisted and changed a lot.

I so don't like using 2 photos.

I don't think I will put it onto the site,

I have messed it up so much.

and here is our Tiffy again,

I decided it would be a good idea to

try and use some of my little bits and pieces

of paper that I seem to lug around all

the time. That upside down heart is not

part of the LO, I didn't notice it until I

re-sized the pic.

That is it for the Lo's.

We have a bushfire burning on Drom at

the moment, it is a bit scary for the

people living close to it. Some have

packed their stuff and moved out until

it is under control, which could be weeks

away. We think they should just water

bomb it, its not like there is no water

around, I am sure the ocean wont miss any.
I am going to try to take a pic of a whale

playing tomorrow, I spotted some

tonight but the light was wrong

and my pics did not work.

Ok enough of my rot, I have been

checking out all of your blogs, just been too slack

to log on to make any comments.

Thanks for stopping by.

Here I am again, woohoo, 2 nights running.

I had to take Sheri over to Narooma tonight to

her friends place, so I stopped and took

these photos of Narooma at night.

I used 2 different settings so the pics

are the same but different.

They were taken from the car-park at

the boardwalk looking back across the river

towards town. It is lit up like a Christmas tree.

The following LO's were the ones I promised before.

I cant get a decent pic of them, the colours are

not quite right, but you get the general idea.

The photo corner is pretty spastic in the family

one because, lol, that was where is landed when I

dropped it, oops, and because it had glue all

over the back I had to leave it like that, I

am still deciding what to do to disguise it a bit.

Maybe a flower, but not sure.

And this one of our little man.

I have had that song about 'Sweet wonderful you'

hanging around in my head for ages, so

I thought I might as well chuck it on a LO.

Thanks Tegan for the pic, I used one of the ones you

sent us. Shows his sweet cheeky little face beautifully.

And look Tara not a flower in sight, he he he.

I have another LO too, but I am trying to load

it onto the blind scrapping site that Vicky

mentioned in her blog, I just have to wait

for an email first. I will load it here tomorrow or

sometime.

I was going to scrap all day, but only got the one LO

done after spending a couple of hours at

the next neighbours place doing some

washing, I think she will get sick of us very soon.

Ah well, I think that is about it from me for

the night, catch you all again maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.
