What a cutie – young Maxwell, the fairly new son of an old workmate, was passed happily around from arm to arm at a recent morning tea.

Practicing with long exposures at the Blue Dog Photography workshop, in the Mt Tamborine Botanic Gardens.

A bloke pouring water over his hand in a driveway in the sunlight can look very cool given the right shutter speed. Taken at a photography workshop with Blue Dog Photography at Mr Tamborine.

Kicking the football around while camping – I quite liked the sharpness I was able to get despite the overcast weather.

I think open fires are one of my favourite things about camping, particularly in the winter months. Despite coming home with everything – including my hair – smelling strongly of woodsmoke, it’s lovely to sit on camp chairs in a circle, toasting marshmallows, and taking turns to add a log to the blaze.

We went camping over the June long weekend to Kilkivan – a tiny town up in the hinterlands west of Gympie. Much time was spent around the campfire sheltering from the occasional bout of misty rain, toasting our feet and chatting.

The previous owners (I should really think up a snappy nickname for them so I don’t have to keep calling them that) planted a lot of spiky things around this house. I’m not a big fan of them – I don’t know that they go so well with the rest of the bush aesthetic – but I like the shapes they make in photos.

I had thought that this ugly looking plant was a weed, and have been yanking it out all over the place, until I discovered these lovely drop-like red flowers on it this morning. I think it probably still is a horrible weed, and it looks awful when it’s not flowering, so I’ll continue to eradicate it – but not today. It looks too pretty today.
(And yes, I realise I’m just giving it the opportunity to propogate. I know. But it’s pretty!)

Due to some delicious paid days off, I have been wandering around with the camera taking advantage of the afternoon light, and my never-ending delight in taking macro shots of ordinary things. I like these simple wooden blinds we have on the verandah – they keep off the direct sunlight, and are easy enough to roll up if you to gaze at the view.
