Another photo of the day.
These succulents looked lovely in the golden glow today. The lights and shadows were beautiful.

Defiant in the winter sunshine
Another photo of the day. The late afternoon sun had a golden glow to it and I grabbed my camera and rushed outside to take photos of the last few remaining flowers in the garden. I can now understand why they call it the Golden Hour.
We are now in the middle of winter so everything is looking a little bleak at the moment. So we make the most of the sunshine and the flowers that we have.

Wellington Harbour_0001.jpg
One of my photos of the day. Today was incredible with no wind and sunshine and Wellington was definitely not living up to it’s reputation of the Windy Capital . The harbour was like glass and the reflections were amazing.

My photo of the day for the people in Oklahoma who are facing yet more tornadoes. I think the people in Oklahoma are incredibly brave to deal with these forces of nature. I am not sure if I could do it. We get southerly storms here but they are nothing compared to the twisters.
My computer is now up and running again after being without for a week. I have had to get windows re installed and I am now faced with the mammoth task of transferring my photos back into Memory Manager. Fortunately I was able to activate the both my Memory Manager and StoryBook Creator before the cut off time midnight last night. I will now look at using Picasa to store my photos as well so if this problem happens again I won’t lose my photos and it will be a good back up for Memory Manager. There is now no Digital Centre from Creative Memories and I suppose that at some stage I may have to look at Photoshop or Lightbox in the future as well. However, people can still get their photobooks and other digital products printed until midnight 3rd June. There is to be a meeting on Tuesday in Australia so it will be interesting to see what the outcome will be for Creative Memories Australia and New Zealand. This is such as shame as the products (especially the albums and pages) are really good quality and I have done a lot of pages for my children’s albums. It has been so easy to use coordinated products that last a long time.
While I have had no computer for the last week I have been busy with doing cards and scrapbooking and when I get the photos sorted out then I will upload them on here. So watch this space…
I hope you all have a good weekend.

A rose for all those involved in the Oklahoma tornadoes.
My thoughts go out to everyone that has been affected by this latest tragedy.

Reaching for the sun
Just a little photo to cheer people up after the last few days. I was really pleased at how this photo turned out and I did not have to do a lot to improve this photo. The daisy seems to just pop out on the page. Some days I can get great photos and other days I delete a lot, but I am improving.
I hope you all have a great day.

Pink Parfait
This is the companion to my other photo. I don’t have a lot of flowers left in my garden as we are in Autumn here, but the geraniums are always good for photos.
Happy snapping

Hanging in there
My photo of the day. Yesterday I went out in between showers and managed to get a few photos and here is the best one. The colours are just beautiful and I couldn’t believe I managed to capture this perfect rain drop.
I hope you all have a great day.

Early morning glory
Yesterday I got up early and went down to the river with my camera. It is starting to get a little cooler in the mornings now and there was a heavy dew, but the birds were singing and it was lovely to wander about communing with nature. I have taken a few lovely photos and here is one flower I managed to get with an insect on it. The bees were nowhere to be seen as it was too cold for them, so an incy wincy spider will have to do. I hope you enjoy it.
Have a good day everyone.

Pretty in Pink
My photo of the day. I was really pleased at how this photo has turned out. There had been quite a bit of rain the night before and there were lots of raindrops on the flowers. This azalea is such a pretty pink and the raindrops are just like little gemstones shining in the sun. I seem to gravitate towards pink flowers – perhaps that is because my favourite colour is pink!
I hope this cheers your day.
All the best
Patricia
