Dramatic Sky

I did warn that there would probably be lots of sunset photos this year.  I am amazed at the differences I see every night.

Yarn Dying

I have some rather clever friends who like to dye knitting yarn.  One of the techniques they use is to paint the yarn on knitted fabric.  As I have a number of knitting machines I knit the undyed blanks ready for the dying.

New Ferns

As my last fern purchase has been growing so well, I added to the collection today.  I have a few gaps in my mini fernery, so lets see how well these new babies grow.

Tonight the weather turned wet.  So after so many colourful sunsets the last week, todays was all about the clouds

Piping skills

Today I made a Baileys Chocolate Mousse – yum!

After watching a lot of cooking shows I know that it’s all about the presentation. Out came the piping bag.

I may need more practise but it didn’t affect the rich decadent taste 🙂

Dark and Stormy

As the sunset gave a last gasp of colour tonight, there were some interesting clouds rolling in from the North.  Looked like a storm might be on the way, but we didn’t get any rain.

King of the Castle

Todays photo is a shot of what is no longer there.  My ‘pet’ wallabies were visiting tonight, so I quietly snuck out with camera in hand…… unfortunately I was not quiet enough, and they bounded off into the long grass.

Never mind, there was a bird sitting on the very top of a very tall pine tree up the top of the back yard.  Swung camera, focused and just as I pressed the shutter off he flew.  While I waited and waited and waited, neither the wallabies or the bird returned 😦

 

But if you zoom in, I rather like the tip of the tree.

 

 

Sky on Fire

Tonights sky was amazing.  I was distracted and only caught it at the last gasp.

Am I There Yet?

DS needed some new work attire. He went shopping and managed to fend rather well for himself but I feel he needs some Mothers love.

Next time I feel that urge I will remember he is over 6 feet tall and has very long arms.

New Life

This is an Orchid that my Baby Bear bought for me one Mothers day.  While I have managed to keep it alive, and it has even sent out air roots, it has not yet flowered again.  I thought I was finally going to see some new pretty flowers, but it is sending out a new branch of leaves.

Sunset Timelapse

The colours tonight were not amazing, and I still managed to get a couple of unfocused frames  but my time-lapse sunset is a work in progress
