The ringing of the bell in stormy weather

I took this particular photo on the Northern Road in Sydney, on a late afternoon when the weather was forcasted. My goal was to achieve a dark mysterious and sinister feel, using a black and white silhouette.

The little pup that had the photographers going crazy.

This little pup was very hard to resist today, many photographers had turned up to photograph a concert in Canberra but found themselves photographing this beautiful little puppy.

Sleeping puppies are like sleeping babies just adorable. There is just something special about them.

The only way is up!

This building reminded me about the stairway to heaven and the only the way is up or is it?
Just a thought.

A very cute Fox Terrier pup named Pheonix

Meet Pheonix. Pheonix is a very cute and extremely active Fox Terrier x pup. He keeps his owners on their toes.

Pink Galah just saying hello

This is my auntie's galah buddy.
Buddy is an inquisitive bird. He loves being the center of attention.

Bouganvillia the flower of the tropic with vibrant colours

The Bouganvillia, they have such vibrant colours I just could not resist taking a photo. Unfortunately I can't grow them where we live as they do not like any frost.

Awards at Parliament House Canberra

My son is just outside Parliament House in Canberra where he received an award for a film he made about the Canberra Border.

Stormy weather photography on an angle

 I wanted to give an uneasy feeling in the air as a storm was approaching, so I took a photograph on an angle. I then wanted to emphasize what it is like when it is going to rain. The grass appears to be vibrant green and sky becomes very dark. I gave the grass more vibrancy and both the sky and the sea darker and more ominous.

Jugglers The 3 stooges pose

This pose the 3 jugglers reminded me of the 3 stooges. They are such great light hearted entertainment.

Juggling around a tree in Canberra

I met 3 jugglers from The Fool Factory. They were very entertaining with great showman attributes. Here they were juggling around a tree and whilst juggling they were also walking around the tree at the same time. Wow that takes a lot of hand and eye co-ordination. Very tricky guys. Hope to see your another one of your acts very soon.

A scrub turkey on the path

 This scrub turkey walked straight past me while I taking a walk. They are quite amazing birds. They build large nests on the ground from leaves and grass. Their nest range from 1 to 1.5 metres high and 4 metres wide.

Human relationships with animals

 I met this very interesting man who was very attached to his buddy a blue tongue lizard. This blue tongue likes hiding inside his hood.

Sky's violin a brilliant violinist that sounds like music from heaven

I met this most talented artist in Canberra today. He played his violin with such beauty and emotions that pedestrians were compelled to stop and admire his talent. 

The flower of the tropics Hibiscus

Abandoned. A way in.

Barriers over windows

A pigeon on the roof

This one of our beautiful pigeons. He is a Carneau. The Carneau is a large domesticated pigeon, descendant of the Rock Pigeon, originating from northern France and southern Belgium. 

Textures for photography (wheat)

Photographing an alpaca in the contryside

I took this photo in the late afternoon. His name is Sanchos. He has a very sweet personality.

I used an orange filter to enhance the warm colours and a vignette to add a little extra depth to the image.

Angelic Angels

We often perceive angels to be angelic, sweet and child-like. I have given this particular sculpture a softness by using a soft blur to the image thus giving it a softness and sweetness to this angel.

Angels in my Garden

How to make a rustic birdhouse

What you need:

•  a wooden nest box
• bark
• nails
• hammer

arrange bark to cover the wooden box and nail into position.

It is very important that you do not use treated pine.

Organic produce

There is nothing like fresh organic produce straight from the land.

Black and white photography is so nostalgic

 Cindy is a Maltese Terrier and she getting on a bit, so I decided to make a photo that reflected her age. She is a very sweet dog but is beginning to feel the pressures of getting old and gray.

Dreaming of the Ocean

 I'm dreaming of the deep blue sea.

kayaks all colours

 Here I found a wonderful subject of colorful kayaks, all stacked up on one another. I wanted to show the vibrancy of the boards and the grungieness of the surf culture.

A little bike with attitude

Have you ever wanted to break out, felt different or just wanted to play with the big boys. I saw this little motor scooter and just thought how quaint it was. Just standing there in amongst all the motor bikes. A little motor scooter that wasn't as big and powerful as the other bikes, but it did have a strong presence. It was holding its' own.
