Well thought I should do an update on my photography course. There is not much to update at the moment LOL!.  I have just had my third lesson and so far its just theory and learning the basics of photography. I now know about aperture and shutter speed and how they work together.  We start our field trips in a couple of weeks.

I have been trying really really hard to stay off the “auto” setting. The results are not always great but we will get there.

As usual I  have taken many shots around the garden (plants co-operate so much better than children).  The light was just beautiful this day.

just realised that these photos are proof that I am waaaaay behind in my gardening, oops. 

There is just so much to learn before I can even start taking decent photos. Plants are not so hard, but moving objects are proving much more difficult. 

This shot is not great but was so cute I just had to show you……snotty nose and all.

This past week has been crazy busy.  Still full from our huge KFC feast on Monday (Declans birthday). Tuesday I worked at Officeworks, helping out with stocktake, Wednesday we had a lovely afternoon tea at Kinder with Riley (photos on the other camera!) followed by  taking a very nasty fall at school and hitting his head very very hard (so far he is OK but was pretty upsetting at the time).  This  afternoon Matilda had her MCH 2yo check up which which was  all good   Trying to fit  this in around the usual daily chores and comings and goings has been a challenge.  I am really looking forward to my sleep in on Sunday morning followed by breakfast in bed with the paper.

Hope you all have a wonderful Mothers Day.
