About Me

Hello and welcome to my little piece of cyber space, just for me to share my daily random photo. I live with my very understanding partner, Mark and our very loyal and spoil canine daughter, Keeta. I am the mother of one incredible daughter, and have also gained two more beautiful daughters from Mark. I love to scrap, read and love photography. I have recently discovered the joy of canvas and acrylics as well. Although I am a newby at both blogging and photography I am hoping my skills will improve as I am sure they will. I enjoy good times with good people. I love good food, and most of all I love a good belly laugh.

lucky today...

 would have to say that when I play the pokies I expect to walk out losing my money but for this lucky punter, " Today is a good day".  I don't expect from the size of her bet that all days are this good.

avant cards...

Love shopping in Brissy and can't help myself when it comes to the cool Avant postcards on counters of retails stores. These are going up on the wall in this great photo holder I found in a shop in the Valley.

Bring on the Indian...

Have got a taste for the Indian food lately so have stocked the pantry up. I really wanted to try the authentic Indian food not the Australian Indian food so I asked this Indian lady who came into work if she could share with me the recipes to the food she eats. Even though I had never met her, she bought her recipe book in for me to copy. It was dated 1968. See what happens when you ask. So I am now looking forward to a nice hot and tasty curry.

bingo board....

check out what I think is an old board, though I am not too sure. This little treasure was found at " My Sister House" East Street Rocky. Thanks heaps for the picture.

Dreamings Free...

I didn't get to post to my blog yesterday but I did take this snap of a page I completed for this weeks challenge, simply using paint on a layout. Too easy, this is right up my alley. So enjoyed doing this page.

a fallen star..

have finally finished the first page of my art journal. In memory of Amy Winehouse, a lost soul who's songs tell of her troubled life.  These are my chosen lyrics from her song...my tears dry on their own...

accepted but ignored...

is how it has always been and how it will always stay, that we just accept that the local aboriginals can live and make this kind of mess right in the very middle of our city. Who cleans this up and just who really cares...

These beautiful old buildings are some of the first that were ever built in Rockhampton. They certainly have old world charm.

Good shot

Yes that was just where I was aiming.....right in the middle of the solar light

water + light

I moved the sprinkler this morning and turned back to see the sunlight beaming through the spray of water. So beautiful... I see things a bit differently now, and am more aware, of a possible good shot. This is the rewards I get from taking a photo a day.
