having more fun with my camera

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting today :)

Went out with my friend Joy (again), this time to the Adelaide Zoo - it was hot and muggy - not good for the animals, and not good for the humans either!

however, we did get some good shots

2016 - good start to the year

hello there, welcome to my blog and thank you for visiting!

I was lucky enough to get out and about yesterday, with my friend Joy - we went out for a drive and visited Gumeracha, Sedan, Swan Reach and Tanunda - an absolutely beautiful day for a drive.

The Big Rocking Horse

We timed our next stop at Swan Reach perfectly!

more 115 in 2015 | Weekend Reflections #326

goodness, it will be 2016 before you know it!   Adelaide is having a bit of a respite from the heat for the next two days, but it won't last long - we are heading back up again!

35C for Tuesday
39C for Wednesday
and a whopping 41C for New Years Eve!

That means time on the computer selecting images for next year's camera club competitions, and maybe a bit of sewing :)

but for now, here are some images for my 115 in 2015 Project

Days of Wine & Chocolates
115 in 2015 - 83: Addiction - Days of Wine & Chocolates

Boxing Day means Leftovers
115 in 2015 - 47: childhood memory - Crown Corningware, roast turkey & roast spuds

When I grow up
115 in 2015 - 110: A piece of music (Swan Lake)

Sisters eating toffee apples
115 in 2015 - 38: Technology
with modern technology I was able to reproduce these images that were taken in 1962 - the negatives are now long gone :(  Original photographer:  Len Pass
These image show me and my sister eating toffee apples ...... or attempting to eat them in my case (I am on the right, and haven't even made a dent in the toffee apple in the last photo!)

Nearly lost track of what day it was ............... here is a photo for Weekend Reflections :)

Yoda Reflection
