Dita999 > Thursday 15th May 2008 ~ Another day another driveway sunset (thhis is taken from my driveway) ... I didn't get to take any photos til then cos I was over with the foster kids from 7am til late this arvo 2 more arrived for a 5 day stay this moring 18 months and 3 (3 makes her the oldest of them all) very busy day because they are very BUSY children Daniels sleeping was a BIT better last night not a great deal but a bit and thats a good start for me he had a wonderful day although he doesn't like to share his Mummy the fact he gets to play with the kids seems to soften the blow a little - Believe me when I say he if far from starved for attention - But thats another caption for another day please excuse my dodgy taken at the last minute photo - I posted it cos I like the Autumn sunset and the shadows Til t'morra HUGS and Have a good day night afternoon or morning
Dita999 > Monday 5th 2008 ~ Playing catch up ... and just playing as usual it's me playing catch up with my DP been at Foster kids again so today I will add another 2 pics by 8;30pm (AEST) catching up and then I am going to try stick to the whole photo a day deal (emphisise TRY - LOL) Ok This is one of the foster kids when we take them out for outside time (I can put this one in as it does not show his face and I won't name him WE shall just call him R) R is 2.5 and a very sweet boy he is learning how to play because UNFORTUNAELY he has NEVER done it before but he is getting the hang of if fast his words have nearly doubled in the 5 weeks he and his brothers has been with my friend R calls ME Mummy and can NOT be talked into calling me anything else he calls Raeliene Mummy alot but has really taken a a shine to me its very sweet and hard NOT to adore him - we have been over there most days again we went over this morning to do breakfast and help Rails get packed up and kids dressed to go to Foster Carer Training so we were home by 9am today is usually PM but nice to spend the day home with Daniel I LOVE going and helping with these kids and spending time with my friend it makes you feel like you are making a tiny difference and I know the help makes a BIG difference to my friend  and even a little one to the kids ... Daniel LOVES R and his Brothers BUT R especially and follows him every where which R usually doesn't mind BUT other time it drives him a bit crazy - ITS VERY CUTE - I used the oilpainting effect on this photo just to try it let me know what you think of it as an effect - well since I have 2 more captions to write today I better stop here or you will all be requesting theropy if I go on much longer and you know there are more coming 3 of my captions in a 8 8 hour span is  A LOT for any SANE person HUGS see you shortly
Dita999 > Saturday 19th April ~ Ibis here they are considered to be basically rats with wings .... scavangers there are actually signs in heaps of public venues that beg you not to feed the ibis These two a rather clean usually they look like they have been rolling in garbage for ever (probably because they have) its only city ibis that are disgusting so maybe these are country ibis just visiting - Who knows
Dita999 > 25th April 2008 ~ One, Two skip a few .... I know I jumped from the 21st to the 25th so I apologise in advance for the 22nd thru 24th being in added in no particular order over the next 24 hours ... And ANZAC day is such a special and emotional day here I just wanted to share this tiny part of it While Daniel and I where waiting for the march to start (Mum was lost to the crowd trying to find a good position I had given up trying to find one that was also in the shade for D so I had to settle for crap view no chance of photos in exchange for shade) anyway standing next to me was this gentleman he was very emotional having fought in a war as did his father and then his son who was with him and his Grandson is currently in Iraq You could see the internal struggle pride Vs Sadness for innocence and friends lost but he was very kind and he posed for a photo for me on the condition he could hold Daniel and have his photo taken by his son No problem Daniel was only to pleased to be picked up out of the pram and rewarded him with a squeeze and an earpull and smiled as soon as he saw the camnera (he is well practised) The march was great  you find your self crying randomly as some of these old and young men march by and the ghosts they carry with them - This man who didn't march told me lots about how it is to come back and that as a commanding officer having to send people on patrols etc knowing full well they would never return how he worries for his grandson and how he should have worried more for his son instead of pushing him to enlist but those where the times anyway he was a very interesting man and after knowing all this stuff about him I don't believe he ever told me his name ....
Dita999 > 21ST APRIL 2008~ Ok I missed you guys :) ...Really I am going to catch up slowly over the next 2 days adding my pics when ever Daniel is having a sleep or not looking for my attention (Which is all the time poor bugger has been so sick) 3 Dr appointments since the 20th he's had gastro and vomitting right on the back of that flu .... I took this pic a while ago before I knew I had macro on my camera lol The rest of the pics I am adding where taken on the day but these butterrflys are really common here you see them evey where NOT the prettiest we have that spot is reserved for the Dunk Is butterfly (in my opinion) But butterflys is butterflys and they are all pretty and fragile so I will be back sporadically (big word hope I spelt it right lol) thru out today and tommorrow and hopefully catch up on your albums as I catch up my own :)
Dita999 > 13th March 2008 ~ I know you won't believe me BUT apart from resizing the photo I have done nothing to it (mostly because I am photoshoply challanged) BUT also because the colours of these flowers are pretty incredible on there own and when you go past one of the trees and there are heaps of them they look like giant puffs of brilliant blue and purple the flowers outshime the leaves and completly cover the tree almost as if the leaves and branhes don't exist they are really beautiful I'll snap the whole tree one of these days so you know I am not telling stories.
Dita999 > April 6th 2008 ~ Hi All .... Well it is bucketing down rain and Daniel is being more then a handful so I only got to take 3 pics in a brief 5 min break in the rain and this is one of them ... This is one of the few roses close enough to the house not to land me in the mud  I always like the colours in this bush they come up like sunsets BTW I am behind on checking out all your pics I wouldn't miss them, for the world believe me so I will try and catch up tonight after Mr Demanding (who also answers to Daniel) is in bed :)
Dita999 > March 24th 2008 ~ EASTER MONDAY~ So Like the rest of you I am over my boat shots but Daniel is still a bit sick so That leaves home as a subject and since the only interesting thing at home is Daniel here he is on his 2nd breakfast I don't usually indulge him he just eats what he is given but since he has been sick and hardly eating anything when he turned down breakfast AGAIN today after 2 mouthfuls I decided to try some toast and Vegemite  and he ate that well some of it and some of it was on the floor but we ate the majority Vegemite is a Winner with all kids here I personally don't know why it is evil *&^*&^ that smells like city smog but what are you gunna do when 99.8% of country love it I am vastly out numbered
Dita999 > 9th March 2008 ~ "Manly Marina" .... Mum Daniel and I went for a drive to Manly today (25 mins so not far really) This is a few of the 1000 odd boats docked here you walk along the water front and there are just boats, boats, More boats, Even More Boats ...I mentioned Boats right you...Even with the biggest panarammoic view you wouldn't be able to fit them all in ... They have Markets and dog washing and jumping catsles and giant slides for the kids it's a nice morning out I couldn't capture all the beautiful shades of blue there was in the water ...Sorry its a pretty ordinary pic I will try pick up my game this week (thats the aim anyway):)
