For awhile now Lis has been wanting something to go on her feature wall in their living room. This was our 365 pic from Friday night...it just screamed BIG! So it's being printed as a 40 x 26 inch gallery wrap canvas to hang above their couch. At the time, I was a bit disappointed in the lack of glorious sunset colours because of the overcast sky, but looking at it now, I don't think it could have been more perfect :o)

Our baby was 4 yesterday *sniff* Sorry I'm a day late, but I haven't been feeling too great.
Just a few recents of the birthday boy...
And a couple of the midget, just so he doesn't feel left out...
Just one of Gaige today...
And my poor camera shy little girl *rolls eyes*
The big kids flew to Cairns this morning to spend the school holidays with their Dad. It's going to be soooo quiet without them! I hope they have a good time. I'm sure they will...they'll be up there trying to sucker their father into spending his life savings on DS games for them :oP

I've been busy...so let's play catch up.
Firstly, there's our little power princess.
And Wyatt on Daddy's new toy. In his Elmo PJ's.
And a rare sighting of the elusive teenager...
Grayson's new venture...Adam pays her $20 a bucket for fish and yabbies from the creek down the road to feed to his oscar. She's made $40 this week!
And last but not least...an outtake from today's 365 shoot.

Around Gladstone.
Since I've been doing my 365, I look at things a little differently than I used too. And I noticed yesterday that I have several photo's taken from almost the same place at night and during the day. Gladstone is an industrial town. It's a very clean, pretty town to counteract the grotty industry, but it can't hide it completely.
But when the sun goes down, Gladstone becomes a little fairyland of lights. I've never noticed before, but looking through a lens has really made me open my eyes to the place I've lived almost all my life.
Oh, and if you don't hear from me for awhile you'll know that Lisa and I have been carted off to jail on suspicion of terrorist activities, what with all the sneaking around in the dark taking photo's of potential "places of interest" :oP
QAL - Queensland Aluminia. Disgustingly grotty aluminia plant that cause no end of damage to paint work all over town with its caustic fallout. Yet from a distance...
And at night it's even prettier...
A bit closer...
The harbour, taken from Auckland Hill...
I'm getting a bit obsessive about night time photography and long exposures (which you would know if you've been following my 365!), so you can definitely expect more!

Don't know what you're talking about... *whistles*
And Princess Lilli...
Sitting in a wheelbarrow while wearing a tutu...just a regular day for our girl!
Even though sometimes his halo slips. Alot.
I know...a bit dorky! I was bored though, and searching for angel pics for inspiration for an idea I have for an upcoming shoot. Came across some wing brushes over at DeviantArt and couldn't resist. I think I might want it on a canvas for my office. Maybe.

Our poor little munchkin is sick. We've all had various coughs and sneezes lately, but Wyatt seems to have copped it this week. Sore throat, fever, can't talk (just squeaks at us), and last night he woke up struggling to breathe and barking like a dog. In fact, if anyone has had the pleasure of spending some time with Max during a thunder storm, you'll understand exactly how Wyatt sounds right now!
Anyway...had to call Daddy home from work and take a trip to the Dr's. Wyatt's not a big fan of Dr's at the best of times, and he was adamant that they were NOT going to put a stick in his mouth (tongue depresser). Of course, they had to check his throat to rule out tonsilitis. Did not go well. We tried to beg, bribe, plead...there was no way he was opening his mouth. In the end we had to hold him down and forcibly open it. It wasn't fun for anyone :o(
The verdict was no tonsilitis, but he has croup. God only knows how we're going to get his medicine into him tonight!
When we came home he wanted to make dinosaurs, and after his ordeal this morning I was happy to let him do whatever he wanted. So I melted the chocolate, and he filled the molds all by himself. They looked a little messy from the back...
But the other side looks good :o)
And we had chocolate left over. And candy cups in the pantry. And peanut butter. I really had no choice!
Peanut butter cups. Possibly the best thing to ever come out of the United States (well after Buffy of course...)
