This is a very large destruction vehicle, i snuck into a construction site to get some photo's of it close up :)

Aren't they beautiful? I stalked these Pelicans for about half an hour to get this shot and many others. I just couldn't resist them.

For Mitchell Drake

You are the only one for me

the only one I love

in your eyes I see

heaven and above

I love you with my heart

I love you with my soul

we cannot be apart

with you I feel whole.

You are my sunshine

my inspiration

never undermine

my determination

to make us last

we'll stay together

forget the past

and be one forever

Pablo

As I was typing my last post, i heard my Mum screaming as she was watering the garden. She came across this little guy and she is absolutely petrified of frogs, so I had to save her. The little frog accompanied me for a while, sitting on my laptop screen while I typed away. I named him Pablo, it seems to fit.

The Monarch

I just love butterflies. I wish that I could say that I took the above photograph, but sadly I didn't. The Monarch is one of the most common butterflies around and it is very beautiful. Just like my butterfly Roberto.

Some flowers that I photographed at my Nana's house in Toowoomba QLD. I love the water droplets, they make the photo seem so much more natural.

The Return by Francis Meynell.

I cannot bear the thought that I will cease to love you when I die. But think, my dear, we both were dead, As long before those words were said. As we'll be after; Death extends both ways towards its endless ends; As well the infinite past demand As grasp the future in your hand. You grieve, 'How in sap we were before our loves began to stir'; Forgetting that an absolute dearth lay on the barren side of birth. No unknown sea, no alien shore, Awaits: we've travelled there before. So when, this dear day being done, we (resolute, self sustained, alone, our passion packed, a sheet drawn over all the used hopes of love and lover). To the known ends of nothing start, heeding no charm, needing no chart - Quickly, hold your hand against my heart.

Highly Commended

I recently entered the above photo in this Stanthorpe Show and received a highly commended. I was happy with the result as I wasn't expecting any credit whatsoever for my photographs. The photo is of my younger sister K'niesha sitting on the river bank of Wooli in NSW.

There aren't many things in this world that are more beautiful than the butterfly. From the simple Monarch to the magnificent Queen Alexandra, they are all unique and precious in their own way. I have always been a big fan of them and in this photo above is me with a Monarch that I nicknamed, 'Roberto'. He was lovely, but injured and he died soon after this photo was taken. Just one of the many miracles that this world has to offer.
