Australia Day

We didn’t really do anything too special for Australia Day. My lovely husband had most of the day off, and that in itself was pretty special… We just had a cruisy day, and went to visit my husbands sister, her husband and their kids. We also wanted to check out the newest addition to their family again – beautiful little baby boy, Max. Oh, he is just SO adorable. I haven’t held a baby (except to take photos) for such a long time (well, not that long really) and yep, I like it! Of course, I had take some photos of this cute little creature!

Australia Day was a day when I just carted my camera around and took photos of whatever I wanted. I was trying to take ‘Aussie things’ which are so much a part of our lives anyway. I even took a shot of an Australia flag on the clothesline because really, can you get more Aussie than that? I did however, forget to take a shot of my husbands thongs (Australia Flag ones). But you will notice that he is wearing an Australia t.shirt in one of the shots.

There’s also a shot of me in the car side mirrors, and shot of the KFC decision board as we were going through the drive-through ( we got the backyard bucket in case you are wondering, and yes, I know it’s not very Aussie but we didn’t have any snags or lambchops, and my dad is a butcher so I just can’t bring myself to go the Supermarket snags. They are shockers.) And see that sunflower – that is totally real and totally amazing. They really are spectacular things and came out of the garden of a lovely guy who does a bit of work for us and grows fantastic zucchini’s as well.

I need to do that more often (carry my camera everywhere), but quite honestly it can be a task and a half carting around a heavy camera and lens and trying to control a 1 and 3 year old simultaneously…I will work on it though…

Anyway, just a taste of our Australia Day, and of our beautiful blessed little nephew, Max. And little Maxy, you lucky boy – you have the most wonderful parents (and aunty of course).
