random shot...

another image taken by a friend near Ayres Rock.  I wonder what this plant lives on, must be air alone.

Sushi,,,

I so need a sushi fix. Shame I have to go to Brisbane to get the best.

road sign...

this is straight to the point.

one week until our art classes first exhibition...

and geting jittery, finishing off all the last little details. Nothing like a deadline to get things finished.

odd, strange,interesting and unbelievable...

found this great website called,  Stumbleupon, that randomly takes you to all sort of random sites. This image came up. It's a 60 ton sperm whale that that died on the beach in Taiwan in 2004 and was needed for research, so it was loaded onto this truck for transportation. Yes it is odd, but interesting and quite unbelievable...

beautiful birdlife...

posting this photo taken by a friend who has just come back from Ayres Rock. Beautiful photo.

I love colour...

so just had to post these colourful pancakes.   Yummmm

1000 origami cranes...

An ancient japanese legend promises anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane that they will be granted eternal good luck.  The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise) and is said to live for a thousand years and that is why 1000 cranes are made.
 Prior to their wedding , Jaime and David made their thousand cranes, which were displayed on the tables at their reception.  Such a beautiful tradition.  They looked absolutely spectacular.

a day of celebration...

Just look at the face of my brother giving his baby girl away.  Congratulation David and Jaime, What a wonderful day you created. One absolutely beautiful wedding.

floods in Rocky...

this is an image of the Rockhampton airport in the last flood.

Keeta thinks...

that she would rather stay in bed today. It's a dogs life.

random shot...

a bullrider in the making....

Colten on his first bull.

new toy...

bought this new toy for Keeta ( my little dog) the other day and this is what's left of it.

mobile phone...

A piece of artwork at the Rockhampton art gallery tittled "Mobile Phone" by Kate Bergin. A bit of a different twist and somewhat different.

baby cages...

just had to blog this picture I found on the net.
Built in 1937 and distributed in London to members of the Chelsea Baby club, the babe cage was meant for women with children but without a backyard,, garden or terrace for them to play in or on.

Suspended from the side of the building, the baby would have access to fresh air and sunlight through the cages wire frame, and still have sufficient room to play with toys. This bizarre cage was patented in March 1923. Wooo how strange!!!!

random shot...

Nothing like a good old fashioned arm wrestle at the local pub.  I don't know who enjoys it more.  Mark or Chrissy.

these are the things that count...

it's the little things that are really the big things. Let us never forget what it like as a child.

cigar boxes....

Tami   (alias Monster Maud)  sent me these old cigar boxes that she found in Montana.  In america they are painting and decorating these boxes like nothing I've ever seen.  Oh what a challenge.  Oh how I need inspiration.  Thanks Monster.....
