Photo of the Day

Today I decided that the photo of the day would be the kids with their Aunty Lisa (my younger sister) so I put a chair out in the backyard, grabbed the camera with the 50mm f1.8 on it and thought in 3 mins my photo will be done, then we can jump in the pool and have a swim. Well, what's that old saying, never work with children or animals!!! I ended up taking about 10 photos which took about 20 mins because Sienna was having a meltdown that she didn't really need to have. Then beautiful photo of 2 of them and the 3rd one eyes shut, next photo, beautiful picture of the other 2, 3rd person's eyes shut.......soooooooo what was meant to take 3 mins did take some time. Here is the only photo that is worth showing you but I do like it because it's James and Sienna with their beautiful Aunty Lisa who they adore.

Everyone has a thing, and Lisa's thing is to bring a packet of marshmallows with her when she visits. Yep, every single time she visits which is once a week she brings over one packet of marshmallows with her which gets divided between 2 adults and 2 kids so it's all in moderation but a lovely thing that she does that we all enjoy.

Baby Carrotts & Aunty Lisa meets fluffy & coco

My sister came over to meet the chickens and had a little hold. The kids were thrilled to bits to show off their new pets to their Aunty Lisa. Also I need to thin out our carrotts as too many were planted and the kids pulled them out and they are starting to look like real carrotts. We are feeding the green leaves to the chickens which they are enjoying.

Ekka - Part 2

The top photo is us with the famous "strawberry sundae's". When I was a kid these ice creams were something to look forward to and they were about 10 cms high out of the cone. Now all this time later they are about 3 cms out of the cone and don't look as impressive but they did taste great. The 4th ice cream I'm holding is for my sister who was behind the camera.

The bottom photo is of my sister (the kids Aunty Lisa) taken along the pathway to get to the EKKA. I loved the grass and the light and if we hadn't been on a mission to get into the EKKA and start enjoying it I would have hung around here for some more photos.
