Fiddling Around

June 26, 2008

I must admit  I love ‘playing’ as I call it. I see a new template theme on wordpress that is pretty, I download and install it then I start to play with it. I have changed it yet again this morning but I have the sizing all wrong with the background paper, it will need a bit more fiddling with. I have used Dani Mogstad background paper and Emily Powers flowers.

I don’t know if you live in a big city. We do although not that big compare to others around the world. Our city has grown extremely fast because of its beautiful climate and the resources boom that is taking place in our state. The infrastructure has not kept pace, our traffic and roads refect that. There was one accident yesterday on the Gateway bridge and instead of my drive taking an hour it took two. I don’t really mind if I have something to occupy me, like podcasts, a book besides on the passenger seat or my drawing tools. But it was dark so I could not do the last two and the radio was boring; so it was a very long trip home. I would really love to work closer to home.

A Swap of Photos

June 20, 2008

I took part in a swap, this time photos. It is being run by ‘Nectar and Light’ and there is a different theme each month. For the month of May the topic was ‘burr’. My photo is of the lemon tree early one beautiful Saturday morning, the light is so lovely at that time of the day.

There are some amazing photos in the swap. The theme for June is light; I read the blog recently of a new comer  to Canberra. She finds the clean, wide blue skies a thing of wonder and finds herself standing and looking up. I can remember doing that after we came back to Canberra after living in Boston. There was a brightness and brilliance in the light.

Edited: It was funny this morning driving to school, there was a very heavy fog and it lasted until about 9am. I was wishing that I had my camera with me as the sunshine was breaking through the fog, it  was beautiful.
