Chirp!

feeding some gorgeous little parrots at Raymond Island.

A weekend away, complete with rain and wildlife.

Definition of me!

Been at home, sick all week. Haven't been out taking any photo's... which got me to thinking. That's pretty much how I define myself.

Emily - photographer.

S'pose there's a lot more to me, but it's so easy to pigeon hole yourself. "Hi, my name is Emily and I'm a photographer." It's never "Hi... I'm a strong woman when I need to be, but I also struggle with issues of what's expected of me and what I want to achieve... bla, bla, bla..."

To be completely honest our opinions and definitions of ourselves change with any given day. Today I'm struggling a bit with my own dreams and whether I'll be able to pull it off, whereas yesterday I was pretty good.

See what happens when you have a week to wade through all the thoughts you would otherwise have left packed away while going about your day to day. It's scary.

Sleepy

I'm so tired, and sleepy, and stuffed up to the eye balls with a cold.

I hate being sick, it really eats away at time that could be spent outside in the sunshine.

Sleep is wonderful, I think I might hybernate for winter.

Seasons turn, turn, turn..

Another season upon us, the ever changing colours and experiences of the lives we live.

Sheesh; that sounds a little profound doesn't it? Something to ponder, food for thought.

On one hand it seems as though the year has been flying by, and on the other it feels as though it's taking forever to tick over. It seems to depend on the day or the mood. I feel like it was years ago I was getting married and then it feels like just last week we were on our honeymoon, when all the while we've been living our married lives for just a touch over a year now. Before you know it we'll be clocking up fifty years and wondering where the time went.

One whole year!

The celebration

It's hard to believe it's already been a year. What a wonderful year, a year since the big wedding shindig!

And are we happy? You bet ya sweet batootie we are!

We celebrated with a weekend away at Hepburn Springs, kickin' back, enjoying the sunshine, drinking some bubbly and ales, eating scrumptious food, lazing in front of the fire place and enjoying each others' company. It was a wonderful break from the real world.

A little more celebration!
