a catch up...(this may take a while)

Boy where has the time gone? Spring has sprung and with it, renewed energy and a clean house! It's not quite 10.30am and already the house is sparkling clean, cleansed from top to bottom it helps having a tiny house sometime lol so I have no excuse for not catching up with blog news. It's going to be long, so grab a coffee and get comfy or just press the x if you cant be bothered to stay. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED lol

MY NEW DSLR

Yes I know, this should have been first LOL but sometimes you just have to put others before yourself LOL.

She's finally here, my new DSLR the Canon 1000D, looking very beautiful in her camera bag, that the gorgeous young man at Camera House gave me for being nice LOL he gave me heaps of free stuff, such lovely boys they are in there, and cute too!!!

We trotted off to Yaroomba beach yesterday to have a play with the new baby, oh yeah, got the kids some exercise too i guess, we didn't stay too long as miss Emily decided she wasn't well and had a  bit of a temperature, we got back to Hayley's and madam was asleep in less than 3 minutes of hitting the front door.

Here are some pics taken with the new camera, bearing in mind that it was the first time i had actually used the camera and i can only get better! I'm so in love with this camera!

this pic shows miss emily sitting on the beach all forlorn, behind her is Maroochydore, you cant see it, it's right there on the horizon, which is very hazy due to weather!

 

zoomed in, I was standing in the exact same spot, I just zoomed in..and not all the way either! this is Old Woman Island, just off Maroochydore beach! it looks like a huge whale!

Maroochydore, zoomed in... see there really is something there!

a man, playing with his kite.... he was having fun, and I was

having fun stalking him LOL

 

Gary, who didn't know I was taking his photo as I was far away!

Hayley too! Gotta love being paparazzi!!

I like Chinese!! or is he Japanese?? This is

Bruno, one of Bonnie's pups..so cute!

We were at the beach for 30 minutes and I only managed to take 137 photos, tut tut!

I'm off outside now to take some shots of the garden and to play around with different settings...I am loving having a rare day off!!
