Eclipse

There was a lunar eclipse last night, here are some pics early on when it was just getting cast in shadow:


And then later on when it was all...well... eclipsed :)


I grabbed my MP3 player, a chair, a broomstick (which was my make shift monopod for the camera seeing as I haven't gone and gotten a tripod yet LOL) and my camera.. and the dogs from time to time.

I went out originally in bare feet, long pants and a long sleeved top. I came back inside to get socks because things were biting my feet and my dressing gown. Travis kept popping out from time to time, first he came out with a tea, then a tasty hot chocolate. Then around 8:30 he came out with a scarf and a beanie. Next he came back with one of his big jackets. Then he came back with some shoes. What a great husband! I looked like a bag lady by the time I came inside but at least I was warm!

So where was i?

The weeks are flying by SOOO quickly!!! The weather is warming up and I feel like I have been so busy, but I don't really have a whole lot to update the blog with... I have been out and about taking heaps of photos whenever I can. I was originally going to go and take some pics of a horse thing on the weekend.. showjumping or dressage or something... but I kinda forgot about it and organised catching up with a friend LOL But it worked out well, because it was cancelled due to the horse flu which is going around.

Anyway Lauren tagged me about a billion years ago and im now finally going to do it LOL

Well, lots has been happening! First off, I got my 2nd tattoo on the weekend :)



and can i just say the lower back is much worse than the upper back! LOL Worth it though :)

We went scuba diving last weekend as well, the first time since.. I cant even remember.. probably around January / February. Anyway that was great! Got to see some of the larger cuttlefish. There are always small ones, but not usually the big ones. We also saw seahorses! I LOVE seeing the seahorses. And one had a huge tummy full of eggs too :) Very cute.

AND my most exciting bit of news.... I have (kinda) got a d-SLR!!! I say kinda cos we haven't actually paid for it yet ;) One of Travis' work colleagues was selling his 11 month old Canon 350D, complete with 2 lenses, polariser, UV filter, nifty backpack, remote control, battery grip and spare battery and other bits and pieces. So he bought it in for me to play with and if I like it, we pay him :) I took the day off work today and went shooting ;) Travis told me now that I have my nifty camera I needed a Flickr account.. no idea why, but I did it anyway! hahahaha I am very proud to say that all of these were shot in RAW on the M for manual mode :) yay me!
Now I hope this flickr badge thing works...

And thats it! I might go relax... I did so much walking today, and even took myself on a mini bushwalk to get the pic of the log and the rocks.. and there were a stack of steps to climb to get back up as well :)
