another week gone.

My goodness!! another week gone. I have worked full time this week and probably put in 6hours unpaid work. In the last few weeks I have captured some cute pics of the kids about the house. I am also realising how much I dislike full time work, but it is only for a couple of weeks relief then back to my normal hours and more time for me to play with the camera and other bits. I will also post up some of my pages I have done recently.

saying goodbye!

One month ago tomorrow I farewelled somebody very special in my life.............my Grandfather Ronald (Ron) Metcalfe.

During my visit back to Grafton for the funeral I had time to reflect both by myself in my own time and with my grandmother who gave a beautiful eulogy of her own at the funeral. The man I remember is one with great dignity, strength and courage. He was the one man in amongst a family of women, he was a husband, father to four daughters, grandfather to 12 grandaughters and 2 grandsons and a great grandfather to 3. He knew and was adored by all who met him. He had many challenges put in his path including his last 6months. Always a joker he loved to laugh and would always do anything for his family and friends.

I will never forget his hugs and our conversations. I will never forget him thanking me for giving him the honour of being a great grandfather....I have a little girl here who always asks about her "other" pop and she tells me he is looking after her balloon she sent up to him.

Miss you pop RIP.

Sunsets

2nd August 2009

Call me a romantic, but I just love sunsets. My 3yr old little girl really wanted to visit a beach this day and I had just lost my adoring grandfather the night before and I needed an escape too. The best thing to clear my mind is photography so off we went to Wellington Point here in Brisbane for an afternoon of play. I captured these shots.......

Getting Started!!!

I am here after losing the password to my previous blog..............I have decided to start over and make it bigger and better. To get started I have some lovely Blog Candy to give away, first I want to get 30 followers Soon as I get those 30 followers I will do a draw  to select a winner. I will also post a pic up of the Candy once some followers get on board.

So with this blog I hope to show off some of my work and get some feedback. I am learning something new everyday and trying to adapt it into my work.

Thanks for reading!!
