DRAGONFLY

Day 253 / 365



Moments like these have me wishing for a good macro lens....but for now this will have to do.  He stayed there barely long enough for me to get my shot and then he was gone.

DRESSING UP

Day 252 / 365



What do you do when mum won't let you go on the computer or watch t.v..........?  You drag out the dress ups and have a dressing up competition.  Luckily I was too close to get the bottom half of Max because you really wouldn't want to know what he was wearing.

CHIMNEY SWEEP

Day 251 / 365

Max's class were doing songs from Mary Poppins at assembly this week and he had to dress up as a chimney sweep.

STRAWBERRIES

Day 250 / 365

These strawberries are the most juciest, sweetest strawberries I have had in a long time.  I had to photograph them quickly before the kids devoured them all.

TEDDY BEARS

Day 249 / 365

"A teddy bear does not depend on mechanice to give him

the semblance of life

He is loved - and therefore he lives"

Pam Brown

This teddy bear is very well loved in our family, we have spent many meals with him at the table, taken him for rides in the car (and yes he wears a seatbelt), changed his nappy, fed him, talked to him, and taken him to the park.  He has a special place in our family, so much so that sometimes you think he actually does have a personality!!  And in moments of frustration don't ever call him just a stuffed toy with no feelings to these children he is very much real. 

SMILING EYES

Day 248 / 365

"She turned to me and whispered, don't you just love it

when you get so excited you forget to breathe?

and the thought of her smiling eyes still makes me laugh.

FOR ONE MOMENT

Day 247 / 365

"For one moment stand in silence, look at the plants and contemplate

how awesome life is"
