I LOVE PHOTOSHOP!

PHOTOSHOP OPENED A WHOLE NEW DOOR INTO PHOTOGRAPHY/ART POSSIBLILITES - ALTHOUGH I AM JUST A NOVICE, AND AM IN AWE AT WHAT EXPERTS DO, I'M LOVING THE RESULTS I GET WITH MY SIMPLE EFFORTS...

BUGS IN MY GARDEN

I LOVE CAPTURING BUGS - ON MY CAMERA THAT IS!

UNDERNEATH THE LEAF, THE LITTLE SPIDER THOUGHT IT HAD DINNER UNDER CONTROL  - BUT WHEN IT CONFRONTED IT'S PREY AND DISCOVERED HOW BIG IT WAS...IT QUICKLY DUCKED UNDER THE LEAF AGAIN!

A SWEET DAMSEL FLY (DRAGON FLY) ABOUT 2cm LONG

A HUNGRY DAMSEL FLY - FINISHING DINNER, A TINY BUG

POOR SIDER, HAD LOTS OF HOUSEKEEPING AFTER THE RAINSHOWER
TOO FUNNY - THIS SPIDER WAS SHADOW BOXING!


CHECK THIS GUY ON MY LIME TREE! HIS RED HORNS CAME OUT WHEN I TOUCHED HIM!

CAKES I'VE MADE FOR GRANDSONS

HERE ARE A FEW CAKES I'VE MADE FOR MY DARLING GRANDSONS - WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS (UNLESS YOU READ IT ON THE CAKES!)









THE REASON THERE ARE SO MANY FOR EACH CHILD IS THAT THEY HAD A CAKE FOR PRE-SCHOOL #1, PRE-SCHOOL #2, THEIR PARTY AND THEN THE ACTUAL BIRTHDAY!











I LOVE DOING THEM - AND THEY CHALLENGE ME EACH YEAR WITH
THEIR CHOICE OF CHARACTERS...LAST YEAR IT WAS STAR WARS & JAWS!!!
(I CAN'T FIND THE FILES THOUGH!)


I'M HOPING ONE OF CHILDREN WILL PROVIDE ME WITH A GRAND-DAUGHTER SO I CAN DO SOMETHING SWEET....SWEETER THAN FROGS AND DINOSAURS ANYWAY.

then and now...

                                            a cute little chirpeeannie aged 9months.....awwh
moon faced and no hair!

much like now...well March 2010....shave for cancer research, with
my good friends from CWA and Cancer Council Rep. (we conned him
into getting his head shaved too!)....that's me on the right.....
moon faced and no hair!!! quite an experience, not to be repeated.

                                          oh my....remember - Led Zepplin 1972 - their only
                                           Australian Tour - that was then - had a thing for red-heads.....
                                     but he was sooo yummy! 'Whole lotta Love' still gives me goose-bumps!

oh dear....now it's still red-heads - this time Mick Hucknall -
Simply Red 2009...he was cuter in 1995 with his
dreads and funky gear, as opposed to a three
piece suit...we all change I guess (his voice is still great though)

funny and artistic!

this is the funniest sign I have ever seen! It was in a park near Wiseman's Ferry NSW...stating the obvious!
this is an artistic triptych I made from a photo I took at Hawkes Nest NSW, from beach rocks...aawwwh
this is my catch of bream from Swansea Heads NSW....delicately arranged for the camera of course! YUM!
