“Spring” in the tropics is just like Winter. 30 deg C the past few days. AirCon in winter – who would believe it?

I can barely keep up with life at the moment. Luckily I have backyard comedians to help me maintain a happy outlook.

Impaled?

Nah, just trickin!

I’m finding Uni is a lot tougher/stressful/not-as-easy this semester. If I only had a sponge for a brain!

Photoshop studies, and in particular the first assignment (on scanning) due yesterday, had me all afluster. I completed it on time, but the image I had in my mind was not what ended up on the screen.

We had to build a Triptych of three images. My theme was based on time, mortality, the cycle of life. All the scanned objects came from the garden (yes, including the deceased Mannikin), or my immediate environment. I don’t think my scanner appreciated the soil slopped all over it though!

    I think the cockie is quite intrigued with you taking a photo of him….They are definitely characters though…..

    I`m not sure whether i`d be able to cope with uni myself….Hang in there…. they say you never know until you try….At least you are giving it a go and you`ll be fine once you get into the swing of things…..

    Had a peak at your link to the wildlife photos at Cairns Post……

    Too many there!!! All of the photographers must migrate to Cairns…..

    Hubby would love a cocky – but not in a cage! Lauren and I wanted a gorgeous little Beagle pup we saw in town on the weekend (Hubby has always said he would like a beagle) but James was adamant NO DOGS!

    We may have settled for putting some fish in an aquarium (our Pond ones turn into the neighbours cat’s supper most of the time)

    Cheers (and have a great weekend (well almost!)

    Hi Mandy and Kim,

    Just can’t seem to get really enthusiastic about Uni this semester – just not doing it for me I’m afraid.

    Pets are wonderful, especially for kids and learning responsibility. My old pa said to me “You must always feed and water your animal before yourself”.

    Fish are great – very calming. I’ve always had fish to watch and drift away with.

    Be good girls!

    Cheers

    Cindy
