Today: One wide-awake baby, one tired big sister... an me taking that extra few minutes, in the afternoon light, to take a photo or two I am happy with.

Yesterday: Thankyou for your encouraging and kind words. I needed them!

35 : 365

2010-02-04T21:51:00.003+10:30

Such a beautiful subject... such a crapola shot. Which is how I'm feeling about so many of the photos I am taking right now. They are all wrong: wrong light, wrong shutter speed, out of focus etc etc. With three kids on my hands I feel like I am rushing around all day and my photos are starting to reflect that rushed energy. I need to slow down and focus.

But, even in this low-light, blurry capture, I see Maddi's personality shining through. Such a happy, inquisitive character she is.

34 : 365

2010-02-03T22:22:00.005+10:30

From February 2010

Nothing soothes her like being wrapped and carried.

I declare this to be the week of baby Maddison pics! Whether blurry or sharp, amatuer or awesome - the week is all about her. She is already on her way to being 7 weeks old. It's going too fast. If I wait for the "perfect" photo opportunity, the "perfect" light, the "perfect" time... I will miss my chance to document these precious, fleeting, baby days altogether.

So, brace yourselves for a week of not-so-perfect photos of my perfect little angel.

My girls.

This a case of: Grab the camera, hope it's on the right setting, and snap, snap, snap.

You gotta be lightening quick around here to get a photo of these three together...

Oh, and that cheesy grin? The big sister taught her that, knowing it will be near-impossible to reverse the habit once the three-year-old got the hang of it...

Charming.

Summer continued...

Playing around with over-exposure again to capture the heat of the day.
These trees grow along the beach shore where I live. Their leaves are dry and soft and I love their velvety-grey/green underside.

(and I can't remember right now what they are called... it will come to me)

edit: Banksia!!

It has been so hot here today- the kind of sticky, humid heat that makes it hard to even think, never mind move.

And in this heat I sat myself down under this poinciana tree and experimented with exposure... letting the light flood into my camera...

My sweetie.

Five weeks old now.

She has pimples and scaly skin and is going bald.

All of which just makes me love her even more!

Galah in flight at Brunswick Heads today.

It was a glorious summer day. We ate fish and chips by the river and swam in the ocean.

Today something "clicked" for me with my photos. I feel so glad I am undertaking this 365 project, and to have started this blog. It will be exciting to see how my skills develop over the year.

Byron Bay.

After such a hot, hot day, I needed to see, needed to feel, ocean coolness this evening.
I love living here.

From project play 365

Fridge door.
At night.
Shot by super-tired mama.
At least it's honest.

p.s I made the fridge magnets from an old comic. They make me laugh.

The top one reads: "I want some jungle green and thick... with orchids for our Claire to pick!"

The bottom one reads: "It's got hold of me! Sandra! Help!"

Yep.

We all feel like that sometimes, don't we?

Playing with paper.
Just because.

I laughed when I saw this. Some people have funny mailboxes - this house has its very-own matching electricity box.
