Captured :: April 2010

Happy Mothers Day all.  I'm avoiding doing some of those typical mother-type jobs at the moment (you know the usual - washing, folding etc) and thought I would take the opportunity to catch up on April, the month that was.

dinosaur discovery day at school

dani and nathan - what did he say?!

the easter bunny came!

truly THE biggest green frog we've ever seen.  NOTE:  I've decided to add the word strip caption to all or any photos I want throughout each month.  As I haven't printed ANY of these yet (going to organise that today) I can easily go back and add them.  Means no extra journalling needed, this is more of a pictorial summary of our year.

{ The frog photo will take up two of the baseball sized pockets.  Felt like mixing things up a little}

photo shoot at Lyons Creek - how did I not see the old truck's  potential before?!

all dressed up and most pleased about it too.

lest we forget.

Props

so, its been parked there for awhile, a landing place for drums and wire and the like, and I've walked past it a countless number of times.

Yesterday I saw the light.

There she is, faithful old truck - and perfect photographic prop.

I have an issue with my husband cluttering up my backyard with random bits of machinery (working and not), steel and other crap "good" stuff, and we have had many a "discussion" about where else it might be located.

So I wonder how I might be able to have this old dear brought home from the property (without giving him carte blanche to add more stuff!), as she most certainly falls within the catergory of non working machinery!

And oh, the agony! She has a little sister, dusty green (you know how the paint finish becomes?), slightly younger, but just so perfect. We didn't get time to play with her, and quite frankly the co-operation on the part of all subjects was getting quite poor. Especially the biggest one.
