Happy Territory Day Darwin

 
Long time no see!
Cody pup is now 12 months old.

 
Darwin is enjoying some special Dry Season
Weather.

 
Our backyard is green, fresh and inviting. 


Busy time to be creative.

 
Today is Territory Day in the Northern Territory.
What's more Territorian or Australian
than our trusty rubber footwear the Thong!

 
 
Lets all get out and about and enjoy what Darwin
has to offer.
 


I met these turtles all types at our outdoor pond
at the Art gallery and Museum.
 

 
Hello All,
Yes, I have been missing all year!
Still busy making the most of some down time.
Today is Territory Day when Northern Territory
Celebrates that we are governed here and not as
it was by South Australia. If you have had the
pleasure of visiting my beautiful home town of
Darwin or travelled around the NT you will know
that it is so different to the rest of Australia.
Time to Celebrate how lucky we are to live in this 
most beautiful spot on Earth!
So tonight the fun begins with fire works aplenty.
The only place left in Australia that you can purchase
and light up your own fireworks display. But only
for one night! So it will be one noisy night.
A month ago I changed jobs and have been busy
learning new things and relearning old things.
Everything has been happening so quickly that I am
still catching up myself!
I have also completed an evening course of Photoshop
Introduction which I wanted to do last year but
managed to get along to my local night college
and learn something new. I know that it will come in
very handy with editing and creating my photography.
The very exciting news is that I have selected four of my
Art Photography prints to be on display at the Community
Arts Centre. Studio on the Street is ran by the Salvation
Army Life Centre and is such a great cause to support locally.
So far I have sold one that the proceeds go directly back
to help the running of the Centre.
So great to be creative and feel good about helping too.
My Print was headed to Ireland and that is exciting.
Our family have strong family history ties to
Ireland and Scotland.
Our small pup has now grown to 12 months
and is still small but not tiny. He is keeping us
on our toes and making sure that Missy our older
Dog keeps moving in her later years. This morning
we had a walk together at the beautiful Watergardens
close to my home. The two took off so excitedly
but in two different directions! I can see that I
will need a bit more practise in co-ordination.
So I feel myself getting fitter with the new job keeping
me on the go and meeting some wonderful customers
each day from all over the world.
Nice to be doing something that you enjoy.
Time for me to go,
Sending my Warmest wishes to all who have
waited for my return! Hope it was worth the wait!
Hello, to all my fellow bloggers who I love
visiting an catching up with.

Picture Paints a Thousand Words


When you are stuck for words a picture can paint a 1000!
Look around you for the extraordinary  you will be surprised
at what you can find. Make sure you look up as well.

Somethings you can look at a 1000 times and never tire of
the beauty and wonder.

You can just stumble across a treasure that has been sitting waiting 
to be discovered by just you!



Hi Everyone
I have been searching for a photo in my computer files.
What I thought I wanted to find ended up being something
completely different to what I started out looking for.
Maybe if I was more organized it would not have been
quite the adventure and time consuming task that it was.
But then again I have found a hand full of gems that I
had no idea existed! Sometimes you just need to look at
things through fresh eyes.

Photo number one is an second floor of a building in Hindley Street,
Adelaide. I took this when I was doing night classes in town.
I love the colours and design that jump out at you if you
take the time to slow down and just look up for the unexpected.

Photo number two is taken of a beautifully hand crafted memory
quilt that my sister-in-law got for her wedding anniversary.
It alone holds treasures to explore and I never tire of looking
at this amazing piece. When I visit it takes centre stage and
never disappoints in surprising me with the photos it displays.

Photo number three is a classic, past its best days but still able
to captivate its passers by. I took this while walking the dog
one day last year. My sister and I have a fun story of how I
tried to do some city driving in the early 80's in one of these
VW Bugs. Being a country driver I was more used to dodging
the odd pack of sheep on the road than packing this little
car with three littlies and shopping in town.
I make a rule now I am much older and wiser not to drive
unfamiliar cars that I do not own myself.
Bunny hopping and not finding gears to be able to
get ourselves home is not much fun and asking a kind
passer by how to get it going again was very funny now we 
look back on it!  So the rule is never tire of looking for
the unexpected and have fun when you do find it!
Love and Best Wishes, Sue
