Day 244 - Hidden

Last photo for the month and its title is Hidden. It is the cute little lock on my jewellery box. Looks more sinister than it really is, right?

It's my aim to get back into the photos with stories behind them a bit more in September. Let's see how I go. It is so easy to fall back on Photo A Day, which has produced some photos that I am very happy with, however for this blog it is my aim to document our life a bit more. Let's just say that life right now is busy!

Day 243 - Card

No story behind today's photo (I seem to have fallen into that this month with being busy and trying to complete the photo a day challenge...) but my interpretation of card.  I did intentionally choose all the heart cards to be on top... just because.

Day 242 - Mystery Photos

A bunch of strange photos turned up on my laptop via icloud photo streaming. After a while I worked out that Henry was taking photos of the ceiling on my ipad while we waited in the pharmacy! Henry came home very sick today with a high temperature and it seems, a lung infection. We came home with antibiotics, a puffer and spacer. Now that will be a real trick to get him to happily use that!

Day 241 - Clock

This is another item that one of the kids in my class brought in for our little unit on artefacts. He told the class that it was given to him by his grandfather and then proceeded to attempt hypnotising them as part of his 'news'! I was photographing all of the artefacts this week to put up a display and particularly liked this one!

Day 240 - Dream

Today I had to do a photo that said Dream. Easy, right? Not really, although I do dream about the new house that we will build at Googong next year quite a bit, so this little collage says it all!

Day 239 - One Bit at a Time

This was a little gardening project of mine and Henry's late this afternoon. As I hung out the washing, I realised that the little corner in the garden was looking pretty sad and weedy. We had pulled out a dead bush, a few weeks prior and now only weeds were left. So we pulled it all out, transplanted some agapanthus and filled up the bed with pine chip.

Henry enjoyed watering it with the hose. Then he enjoyed watering his trackies. And then his shoes. Finally watering time was over.

Now we just have a few corner makeovers left!

Day 238 - Park Adventure

This morning Henry and I headed down to the park for a photo session and although I took so many pics today that I really like, this one has to be the standout favourite. I love the fun expression on his face! Henry had a great time, mostly playing on the slippery dip, avoiding aggressive swans and running around trying every bit of equipment he could find!

Remember in the movie, About a Boy, how the kid throws a loaf of bread at a duck and it hits the duck? The duck doesn't make it apparently, and I nearly found out how easy that could be to do, today. Let's just say, that those aggressive swans made me get rid of our bread a little bit too quickly. I didn't hit one, but I also didn't think it would be a near miss when I threw it in a hurry!
