The twins........

Here are the twins.......our first lambs!. Summer was extremely pleased to find that they are both girls!. That means they get to stay, and the roast dinner gets put on hold!!. They are so very cute, and their names are Parsley & Sage.....


While one we turned around & here was Finny frantically chasing the other one, with squeals of delight when he caught her.

Woodstock......

Friday night was the Annual Fundraiser for the Ewingar Bushfire Brigade, and the theme for this years bash was Woodstock. It was a great night with everyone making a good effort to dress up, and the hall was decorated a treat........it was super colourful with flowers everywhere, I think we should even leave a few of the signs up. We even had the hippy combi as a backdrop!. It was a karaoke night and it was fantastic seeing lots of people get up and enjoy themselves, belting out some great tunes.......and no, I didn't hog the microphone too much!!, I just did a few ABBA numbers and a really hideous version of The Gambler by Kenny Rogers!. I've still got the tune in my head!. The bonus of the night was winning the raffle, a wheelbarrow loaded with lots of practical stuff for the farm, and some alcohol too of course!. The auctioning of the Burly bush Firemen went off, with a phone bidder winning a days labour for around $750 I think........anyway they raised a good amount of money and everyone had a great time.....................

And Finny would have kept going all night.......he was still having the best fun at 1.30 in the morning!

Beth & Tom's Wedding....

We had a lovely time at Beth & Toms wedding....  It was at their home with just close friends & family and set in their lovely garden with great rustic old sheds & stables which made a great backdrop.  I am sure they will have some amazing photographs to look back on over the years.  They were very lucky that the rain held off on a very cloudy day and it was great to catch up with the Ballard crew again.  So I made the most of my opportunity to get some shots of my cousins and their partners and their children while I could.......and I am so glad that I did.............

This is Riley, I think we have met each other three times and she is a pure gem, she had no problem lettting me take pictures of her.  I thought her outfit was gorgeous and I think she did too......

And this is her little cousin Archie who was not very happy on the day, but for some reason, in a split second, he ran to the log and did a funny little pose and had a little chuckle, and had us all snapping like crazy to capture his little moment and then it was gone..........

My brother Brett and his beautiful lady Maree......

Ben & Hagar......I hope you guys love this photo as much as I do.......

I capture faces..

This is my entry in the " You Capture" series over at Beths blog http://www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com/. The theme for this weeks challenge was faces.......

I love this cheeky little fella Jack, he is so much like his dad, who at the time this photo was taken was stirring him up into making funny faces...........and I just love this candid moment between mother & bride laughing at the story of how someone accidently sprayed the wedding roses with domestos (!) instead of water and how stressful it was at the time...and then being able to laugh about it........
