Photo Blog :p

I've started giving my new camera a bit of a workout. I love it! Haven't been doing much at all, it's been to hot. A very quiet start to the year. Here's a few pics I thought I'd share.

First attempt at shooting the birds around here.

Second attempt. I was mad, the tree was covered in birds until I went to get the camera. Of course.

This a view from my front door. We are surrounded by lots of bush, which means lots of birds.

Bonbon my cat, ready to pounce. Darn thing is always hunting. She pounces at us for fun too.

Keiraleah.

Babes in toyland LOL

Sorry for such a boring blog. I thought the birds were pretty good considering I've never tried taking wildlife pics before. Next lot might be better :p

Hope everyone is having a fun school holidays!

Cath xxoo

Re: Photo Blog :p

great pictures! What kind of tree is on the first picture? coconut? palm?  I love the view of all the trees!  I have a lot of pine trees in my back yard, but they are too close. There is one giant one only 10-15 feet from my house that makes me nervous when there is high winds.

The twins look happy in the livingroom and looks like they're watching TV?  My twins get excited when I turn on the TV, they yell, "TV, TV, TV!"

The twins are just begining to watch the TV but K is already a DVD juinkie LOL

Yeah its some kind of palm tree. The big one at the back of the house(the corella pic) is a gigantic tree, old and massive. Gum trees drop branches all the time so it's dangerous in high winds and storms.

Glad you are only shooting with a camera ;) lol.  Great pics Cath!  Nothing like a new camera to get you motivated to experiment with nature!  I got one a couple of months back and OMG!  I don't know how we survived before! lol.

Cheeky cat.  I had one that used to bring her catches to me alive and unharmed, and then want me to stick them in the bird cage! lol.  She even stuck a baby magpie in my bed once and wouldn't let me take it away from her as she was busy bathing it! lol.  Frogs are fun though, especially crawling into bed at night and finding them hopping around your feet.

Gosh, the twins are growing up fast!  And what gorgeous smiles from Keiraleah!  They got mummy's cheeky eyes to by the looks of it! lol.

It's funny, if anything happens now or I see the kids being cute, out comes the camera! I'm still trying to get pics of the wild ducks that sit on the roof but they move so fast!

Bonbon can do my head in some days. The presents never stop. She has brought in some birds(very naughty) and a frog once. Luckily the frog was able to be saved!

My cheeky eyes? LOL They are all growing way to fast for my liking!

The darn cat chases the birds away. At my old place, before the cat I would have them come to visit every day to feed. Mostly parrots but all kinds really. They were so tame I could hand feed them and they would sit on my head LOL

Oh Lisa, we've been having a heatwave for about two weeks now. I'm melting away in this heat. It's getting unbearable at time with it being at least 30 degrees every day. What I'd do for a bit of cold LOL

Boring?????  You are kidding? Those bird shots and the cat are fantastic.  I wouldn't be me if I didn't ask Ya a question!!!  LOL!!  Those trees are crazy Cath , what on earth are they?  Look at those sweet little feeties all lined up there on the floor mat,that is sooooo cute!  I am surprised your camera actually picked up the television screen.  Keiraleah's grin is worth a few billion bucks!!!  Did you know you have cute kiddies????

The trees are gum trees! The one with the black bird is a kind of palm, the red things are its seeds.

The kids always lay around together. Im happy that at the moment they all like to share. Notice it's Dora on the tv? hahaha K's fave show.

Not sure about her grin tho, it reminds me of the girl with the curl, right in the middle of her forehead LOL

Ahh her grin is great!  Much rather see them with that spark!!!  I think your gum trees are crazy fantastic Cath!  You guys have tons of neat stuff there in Aussie land.  But your temps are not great!  We are in for a real cold snap so I am hoping we don't freeze!  Didn't manage to get wood in this year which is sad!  But can't do everything.  Take care and by the way...how are those driving lessons coming on????
