a photographers eye

Here is the disclaimer
i do not claim now or ever to be a great photographer
( i visit far too many photography blogs to make that claim)

i am just a woman with a great camera
a passion
and a little knowledge

anyway one of the things i love about camping
is that i slow down.....
and because i slow down i get the opportunity
to
 look around and see
my world through the camera lens
with a photographers eye




the view we gaze at whilst sipping our breakfast cuppa


our first sunset


another sunset


The gloaming
you can't see it very well in this shot
but there were thousands of tiny moths, mites....bugs????
fluttering beneath the branchs of this tree

i don't know what they were but they were mesmerising to watch



okay i know it's a fence post 
but i loved it's weathered beauty and colour
there is beauty in the simplest things



i couldn't resist having a go at this photography technique
and Sticky was a willing subject

the technique involves holding the shutter down
and using a torch to paint your subject
it's great fun
as Sticky was wearing muted colours
the golden light of the torch gave the image a very
vintage look


and of course when you spend alot of time
sitting by a fire there is always alot of fire shots

cooking and drying


can you see the fairies dancing

Hope where ever you are 
your hands are working on the something that you love

Toorale homestead - Louth

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden years for the homestead were betw

Scrappy chook quilt

So I have been keeping this one under wraps, not on purpose mainly just because I have been a very lazy blogger. A few months ago, as most of you know I had a visit to chookyblue's place, whilst there I had the pleasure to sleep under some of her gorgeous quilts. But one in particular took my fancy I just loved the scrappiness of this quilt, the lovely colours but mainly just the simple design. So when I headed up to Nundle for my retreat, I sent the lovely Kerry a photo and she assured me she could pull together some lovely fabrics and guide me, to put this lovely quilt together. When I arrived at Nundle This lovely bundle of fabrics awaited me The girls and I used the black and white feature on the iPad to determine light medium and dark fabrics I spent 3/4 of the first day creating these squares, I think I frustrated Miss Joolz because I just could not be random, I had to be organised I didn't want to get end and end up wit

Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west.  We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit. Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.  However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure. So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop  This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say good
