Autumn snapping




Thinking about the weeks ups and downs and the photos I have taken I want to think about the great, inspiring or interesting things that have happened...



A friend told me they were inspired by my blog :-). Thank you so much; that inspires me to continue.

My friend Jo has an amazing looking camera which I long for but out of the blue she said she wants a camera like mine because its lighter, smaller and can be taken anywhere.  My love for my camera is rejuvinated!

I love walking with my Mum and little Luke and we attracted the lovely squirrels in my photos. I apologised to my Mum for my snapping away with the camera and she said it made her look more carefully for a good picture.

I finally got the sewing machine out and made a little stocking for Luke. I am happy with my first attempt but its a bit traditional and there are definitely changes I'd make if I do it again but feels so good to be creative (despite the larger mess mountain I had to climb the next day!).

I was having a bit of a hard time with my tired toddler yesterday and it must have shown as a kind stranger came up to me and reassured me that things will get easier! Actually they are much easier than that most of the time (except when shopping is involved) but I was grateful for her kindness.

What a great time of year - Christmas show rehersals underway, bonfires and fireworks all around. The local display of fireworks were so awe inspiring; watching Luke and seeing the final rain of fire fill the sky above our heads filled me with emotion.
