THE BIG ROUND BALL
The basics of bowling haven't really changed over the years and...
Everyone has their own style - Baie is left handed and can swing with one arm.
Tulle swings from the right but needs two hands - she is just a wee little thing!
Rori needs the help of her sisters and the "roll the ball down the thingy thing"
A little bit of advice from her big sister
and away she goes!
One thing that has changed are the shoe styles - so cute these days!!
Tulle knocked down 8 pins!!!
And was EXCITED - YAY YAY YAY!!!
Baie got a spare,
And was very very excited YAY YAY!!
Rori Bear only needed assistance for a little while - concentrating very well and.....
STR I KE!!!!!
Yep, that's Rori showing how excited she was - YAY (I think)! "What's a strike Nan?"
Dad came along with some words of "Wisdom"
It was fun so we decided on game 2 with me Steve & Baie.
Allan didn't want to play but thought he would help Steve out and

LITTLE GEMS
Came across these little gems while sorting and culling digital pics. I find it hard to delete any photos but I do realise holding on to them all is a waste of space on the hard drive. I knew these existed and they were taken in 2006 in the back garden of our old house. The camera on the tripod is my old Nikon F70 - my favourite still, though I could never go back to full time film.
The girls loved the opportunity to take photos, so we set up the camera and they took a couple each while I snapped them with a borrowed very basic digital.
TOO CUTE :)

I AIM
this holiday to catch up on my logging and try try try to update regularly - wish me luck :)
Bron Nash and I went to Dingley Dell to check out the light at around 4:30pmish in preparation for some photos I was taking the next day for a young girl and her debutante partner.
The garden looked particularly pretty in the late afternoon light - found a 'fairy' ! Well, that's what we called them when we were kids, actually it's still what we call them!
This is Dingley Dell and for the uneducated: "Dingley Dell Cottage remains as a memorial to Adam Lindsay Gordon for future generations, and a legacy to a great man - horseman, politician, poet, artist, lover of classical literature, and of life" taken from Dingley Dell webpage.
Dingley Dell has been restored and refurbished as a museum, paying homage to the poet and bushman, as well as reflecting 19th century Australian lifestyle. It contains many of Gordon's belongings and memorabilia. The cottage grounds and surrounding bush once inspired Gordon to write many of his verses.
I'm not sure if the garden is anything like it was in Adam Lindsay Gordons time, but it is quite beautiful and very Australian.
Bron and Nash wandered around as I shot a few rounds!
The melaleucas mixed with lavender,
Daisies,
Jonquils,
and nasturtiums,
None of which are native to Australia when I come to think of it, but they all fit in beautifully with the gums, melaleucas and sheoks!
And last but not least a cute little toadstool.
