Tiny Bird

very quiet little bird we found on our walk

kids meet the surf

They lay there for an hour - letting the surf swoosh them about.. giggling my mad things.

Alone in the Sand

A rusted anchor lays in the coral sand beach on Pele Island.

365 Day Photo Challenge

The 365 Challenge asks participants to take a photo everyday of something in their life for 365 days.


They are encouraged to write a sentence or so below it to explain its significance - or not.


Ben Solah and Jodi Cleghorn began this challange last year, and although I was excited about the intricate and interesting images they were capturing, I just *never* got round to doing it... so... here goes... I am committing to 365 days through my lens..starting January 1st.


Now to find my first image.. and not to think too deeply about it...


eek.. what have I done?


Anyone else want to join me?

Pay it Forward .... Craft.

I've been feeling pretty guilty about not 'creating things' once a day - as I had intended to earlier in the year.

For me art is not just sketching and painting, but its food preparation and making beautiful settings with flowers, all sorts of craft and gardening.

In saying this.. I've not enriched myself by pursuing any of these things.. things that I love to do.

So - when I saw this project on paying it forward I knew it was my kick in the pants to get going again.  I am committing to create at least three beautiful things and giving them away.

Below is the 'official' note about it.

I am participating in some 'pay it forward' fun over at  Miss Money Quilts  and am continuing the fun here. 

I have three spots to fill for anyone who wants to join in too. 

I will make a handmade gift for the first 3 interested people. I have 365 days to do it in…

What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well: 

So,
You must have a blog and before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. 

I am looking forward to this sooo much....I hope you can join me  :o)

 

Dead tree in blue sky

I missed the majesty of this sight by attempting to capture it on film. This dead tree was huge... the sky, so blue...
Those who live OS - especially the expats... remember how blue the sky is in Australia?  It was a gorgeous day and one I was grateful that I lived here.
