A little bit of This or That... Flowers, Birds...
There is a lovely grassed & treed area in our new townhouse complex. It is a wonderful playground for birds - particularly Honeyeaters & Rainbow Lorikeets. The Rainbow Lorikeets particularly love this tree. I am not sure what it is though...

Project 366 Rewind {Week 12}
We were still moving, cleaning the old house and unpacking at the new townhouse this week. It's been very busy, physically & emotionally exhausting and I have pushed my body beyond what it is capable of doing (causing a great deal of pain).
We haven't been able to get our internet up and running, due to problems in the lines at the exchange, so we were forced to purchase a USB mobile broadband device mainly for the girls, and Michael & I have used our iPhones as "Personal Hotspot" modems for necessities (which is why I have hardly blogged all week).
Spring to Life was the theme for this week and although it's Autumn in Australia, I think these images fit the theme quite well.
Here is what I managed to capture in between the craziness... not a lot of variety but the best I could do.
Day 78 - My first edit using layered textures in PS Elements 10. I was quite happy with the result.
Day 79 - The Rainbow Lorikeets love the white Grevillea in my backyard. I never tire of photographing these cheeky birds & their antics.
Day 80 - A little more texture fun in PS Elements 10 (I think I prefer the previous edit better though)
Day 81 - The #marchphotoaday Challenge for 21st March was "Delicious".
Soy Chai Latte, Triple Chocolate Slice & Turkish Delight - afternoon treats with Michael & Bec after an appointment in the city.
Day 82 - Blue-faced Honeyeater in the trees in our new townhouse complex (my front yard)
Day 83 - More Rainbow Lorikeets in my front yard feasting on this colourful tree.
Day 84 - Feeding the ducks at Minnippi Parklands during an afternoon walk.

Bold As...
While out on an afternoon walk & feeding the ducks at Minnippi Parklands, this bold little Noisy Miner hopped along the rail beside me...

Weekend Flowers: B&W textured
This week I decided to venture into the world of texture. I watched Kim Klassen's "Textures in Ten" tutorial.
Here's the result of my first ever layered texture edit. I used a layer of Kim's Happy Heart and another of Music Lovin'.
What do you think?

Texture Thursday: Natural
I LOVE natural texture... even in the simplest and most ordinary things.
I feel honoured to have come off a blogging break (due to moving house) and to discover I had been selected as a winner for Texture Thursday a few weeks back with my seagull in flight.
Thank you Audrey for hosting this linky.

Project 366 Rewind {Week 10 & 11}
I'M BACK!!
I've been on a forced blogging break due to moving house, so I am posting 2 weeks worth of Project 366 Rewind... I hope that's OK Sarah? Due to the craziness of moving an average 4 bedroom home into a 3 bedroom townhouse, I haven't had much time to pick up my camera. I almost managed to keep up with "March Photo A Day" on Instagram, hosted by a fellow Aussie "Fatmumslim". Today is the first day I have had the change to download the images quickly snapped on my camera in between packing boxes, moving house and cleaning the one we vacated. So here are my 2 weeks worth...
Day 64 - More rain, floods... definitely over this rain!
Day 65 - What's on your bedside? Mine always has a pile of books. I have about 8 books on the go -nothing like a bit of variety!
Day 66 - Even a ordinary looking brown butterfly is beautiful. I love the colour contrasts.
Day 67 - There's something so beautiful about trees against a blue sky.
Day 68 - Sunsets & reflections... sigh
Day 69 - Discovered this Orange Potter Wasp building it's "mud pot" on the window ledge outside my bathroom
Day 70 - Brisbane Wheel on a sunny Saturday
Day 71 - Powerlines in pink
Day 72 - Moving house means packing your life into boxes
Day 73 - Cloud dance at sunset
Day 75 - Overgrown
Day 76 - Fallen Frangipani
Day 77 - Rainow Lorikeet in our new backyard :)

Fabulous Skies & Reflections
A quick visit to a rural area after my regular specialist appointment for some sunset & reflections.
It just kept getting better...
I managed to capture the full moon rising in the pink sky
