WOYWW #149

 Well not much changed on my desk except maybe a little messier than 
last weeks, food specially for 505Whimsygirl Kay.
The food on offer this week is
Singapore noodles
Malaysian Beef curry
Honey Chicken
She must have been hungry cos she came looking for food on my desk
but sadly last week there was non lol.
Behind the food is an easel card given to me by my Secret Sister.
on the blue tissue is my Pay it Forward from Famfa Busy ButterFingers
Thank you, I am still trying to work out which one is Easter holidays
Did do some zentangle whilst away, the purple one is Mr Crafty. 
In comparison I mentioned to him that mine was quite organised
and his was quite busy. Must be what our brains are all about lol
P.s. taken both photos with my point and shoot, the new baby
isn't cooperating with wide areas to photograph.

For some reason I have a lot of traffic from Shoshi's blog,
I must go visit to see what she has said behind my back this time LOL

Go and visit some more messy desks at Jans

p.s.s. did any of you win the $656 Mega Millions?
Just checking!!!

Petanque

Cutie Patootie

My 6 month old niece Kiana.
I put this toy on her head and she didn't even try to shake it off,
gave me enough time to crank up the Nikon Coolpix to get this shot

Zentangle

WOYWW #148

 Shoshi Made me do it, visit her blog, she is very talented for a newbie
I love how she designs outside the square 'literally', I love that!
Thanks Shoshi, my husband is going to have a word with you for introducing another craze but then again he may not as he said he could do that too so woohoo, we can share a craft together

The design on the left is a Celtic knot, the one on the right is Betweed and some circles

Mushroom edible or deadly

Found this mushroom at the Arboretum Canberra
hubby yelled out 'Don't touch it, it might be poison'
so out went the zoom lens to capture this shot in the shadows

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Clouds
I get to see some incredible clouds where we live, this one was one of them.
When I actually learn to use my DSLR properly I will be able to
take even better shots to show the gorgeous clouds
2. Sun flare
This photo was taken with the Nikon Coolpix Point and shoot before I got the DSLR, the sun was glaring out of the evening sky. its the closest I've gotten to a sun flare, I was told you cant point the camera towards the sun directly or you'll ruin the lens!
3. Seven
I had taken this photo to complain about the delivery that was dumped at our letterbox but forgot all about it, I noticed the photo had taken the No. 7 letter box as well
4. High Angle
Took this shot from above at the prolific and healthy mint plant after hubby over fertilized it and it had died, then all of a sudden every dead pot of mint (11 in all) was growing like mad
5. Low Angle
This is the pebbles at work, I had to lie flat on the ground to get this shot when I was waiting for hubby to finish work.
Check out more interpretations of this weeks Scavenger Hunt Sunday at Ashley Sisk's blog
Next weeks themes are
New
Life
Fragrant
Pink
Obvious (hmm this one is a one I have to ponder how to interpret)


Playground

This is part of the playground outside our house.
Found this beautiful reflection on our morning walk and had to race
back home to get the camera. The water was very calm and smooth.
It would make a nice ice skating rink if it froze over.

Beautiful Rose

Found this rose at the back of the fence behind our house.
I'ts a public area and our very green fingered neighbour planted
them there so we have some beautiful blooms.
Canon EOS  600D
F/6.3 1/60sec. ISO-200 0 step 250mm
