My Girls.

Dutiful Wife

My husband's soccer team made it to the finals of his competition. He asked me to come and shoot the action. I do not feel I posses any skills in photographing sport, but he asked, I obliged. I am reasonably happy with some of the shots. The benefit now is he agrees with me that I need a new lense to REALLY get some good shots.

I am blessed.

So much has been going on lately and we get swept up in the business of life. Last week someone in our community here died very suddenly and it shook all of us. The photos in this post are nothing earth shattering, but are reminders for me how blessed we are and that we should stop and cherish the simple things in our lives.

No Flowers today

Number 2 daughter and her rock fetish.

POTD - Flowers

Hmm - I think I have taken to many flower photos in my time. These are more from my mother's garden in Australia.

I hope I am on the right week? The last few topics have not inspired me.

Flowers, something I do photograph. These flowers are in my mother's garden back in Australia.

Soccer Sunday continued

Weekend in Autumn

I won't comment on my lack of posting this week.

We went to watch Paul play soccer this weekend. The soccer images were terrible, but I did have fun photographing the girls and the garden.

Up close

What a week. I am amazed that is has been 4 days since my last post. I wanted to be so committed to post each day. Here are some snaps I took in Thailand when were there over the summer.

More Korean Sights

It is amazing how differently you view a country when you know you are leaving. These are some more shots from my weekend in Seoul. Not the best executed images, but to me they are images I see so often and have always wanted to record with my camera.

Gyeongbuk Palace

This weekend I was lucky to leave the family behind and go off taking photos (silent cheer erups). One location was Gyeongbuk Palace. I would have liked to be there half an hour later, but I still got some shots I was pleased with.

Nepal

It has been 2 months since retruing form Nepal and only now am I getting around to editing my images. These are some of my favourites.

Autumn Leaves

I took these shots on the weekend. In some ways I am happy, but I don't feel the colour is bright or bold enough. Any suggestions would be great.
