Strawberry Sunday

Wow. I have been absent huh?!
This full time working gig is consuming...I haven't had 2 seconds spare to scratch, yet alone blog. I do apologise but there really has been little to share!

One very exciting thing I have done in the last few weeks is purchase these little babies...

Bestill my beatng heart! I literally had an asthma attack handing over the money for these but I am in sweet, sweet love with this combination.

I added a little tax time refund to the prize money I won early his year for the Australia Day Photographic competition and made the plunge. So far I am loving this camera and am finding my way around it's features.

Here are some of the photos I have taken so far.

Today I bought some sweet, gorgeous strawberries from the local fruit market and couldn't resist taking a few photos of Miss Mikaela.

I am looking forward to having some more time to play soon. I am heading off to the Little Scrapbook Shop retreat on thursday which I am desperately looking forward to! It should be a whole lot of fun and a little breather from work for a few days. I absolutely love my new job but am in need of a little R and R. (That stands for raunch and rabble by th way ;)

Urban Angels

When my friend Melissa showed me the amazing photos she took of her son the other day I just had to stage a little photo shoot of my own. She had found the funkiest graffiti wall in a near-by industrial estate, and it was the perfect backdrop for some urban shots of the hooded childerbeasts after church.

I was thrilled to get some nice shots of the feral fifteen year old. Many of the shots are a bit bright as it was the middle of the day, but I like them despite the technical issues ;)

Beggars can't be choosers and all that!

This kid is hysterical. No prompting needed...he broke out into 'Gangsta' mode and did the perfect Zoolander impression...LOVE! I have so many blurry shots from laughing!

I think he's meditating here...or something....

Not the best photos but pretty fun all the same. I'll definitely be going back for some more at a better time. I am in the market for a new camera and lens in the next few weeks so I might just wait and see what the tax man can do for me ;)
