Hello all, welcome to my little photography blog! I'm learning my way around but hope to show a lot of my prints. Here are just a few pieces of my work for now, taken from around Australia. I'd love to hear all your comments.
Enjoy!

A rare find


This sealed glass sphere was "rescued" from the stomach of a whale. There is liquid in the orb which are whale body fluids - that had somehow seeped it's way through the glass.

To Stand Out In the Crowd


It's all just rubbish I tell ya!!!

These first few shots are just a few of what I've taken around the beautiful town I now call home, Mandurah. The graffiti is an example of what can be found plastered all over the local skatepark, the shopping trolleys are a result of Clean Up Australia Day - an annual event - and are just a small part of the tons of rubbish that were picked up from the roadside and - in the trolley's case - pulled out of our local waterways.
The last few photos were taken at Mandurah's Stretch Festival. It is held every year and showcases work produced by many local (extremely talented) artists and schools. This year the theme was, of course Recycling and our impact on the environment. Everything on display was made entirely from aluminium cans, plastic bottles, scrap wood..... Actually I think anything that could possibly be turned into art has been.





















St John's Anglican Church - Albany Western Australia







This is the most exquisite little church I have ever been in. The leadlight windows are just spectacular. The whole atmosphere inside was something I can't say I've experienced ever before and I am, by no means, a religious person. If it weren't for the fact that my dear husband was waiting patiently for me outside, I could very easily have spent all day in there.

















































Cervantes - Western Australia

These bizarre looking rock formations are just another marvellous example of Mother Nature's handiwork. Chunks of rock that have been sand-blasted for thousands of years crop up out of the middle of nowhere, creating an eerie, landscape that is forever changing with the constant drift of the windswept dunes. Walking through this magical place one favourite activity is to try and find different "creatures" and formations.

Not a scrap of soft soil but this plant doesn't care.


Does anyone else see a "snapping turtle"?

Is it a rock or a camel?

Even Mother Nature has a sense of humour!!!
