Brighton Beach Huts

One of my most favourite places to photograph are the beach huts at Brighton Beach and down the coast along the Bay in Melbourne! I never tire of these colourful little buildings which have soo much character!  I've never been one for the shopping when I travel to Melbourne, I usually pack up the car and the kids and make a bee-line to see my old 'friends' who are always there looking happy and ready to be snapped :o)

Summertime fun

I LOVE summer!!!! I am going to miss our daily walk down the back to the lake on a hot afternoon - we always have so much fun cooling off and playing with Ollie. That dog amazes me! He is like no other - putting his head totally under water to retrieve sticks.....must have come from a long bloodline of hunters! He nearly caught a duck the other day, I was HORRIFIED!! :o) 

Beautiful Birds

Pelicans are my favourite birds I think. I love watching them soar through the sky and land like a 747 on the water!
I escaped the other day for a bit of bird watching.....very calming communing with nature -especially since they don't talk back!

Little fairy

I just love dressing up as princesses and playing with wands!! Thats what I miss having 2 little boys!! This photo shoot with my little fairy friend was a dream - what a natural :o)

First Day at big school

Well I have finally become a "school mum"!! My little Tom started school on Tuesday and was so happy and excited, no tears -amazing! He was so sick of me taking photos after 5 minutes so I only got a few little morsels....what a momentous occasion in our lives :o)

Touring New Zealand

It has been AGES since my last blog, but I have a good excuse...we got lost in the wonders of the South Island of NZ. The boys were in heaven having amazing adventures every day, and we just loved the road trips! Around every corner you would be blown away even more!
I had 100's of pics but have posted a few that capture the essence of the country and what we experienced.  Enjoy!
