THE LOVE OF SISTERS

This week my three wonderful sisters rang me as they hadn't heard from me for a while and have been recovering from an illness leaving me a bit housebound and unable to do my badminton. Thanks sisters, I appreciate your concern and am so lucky  to not have one special sister but three. This was taken about seven years ago in Sydney for Sharon's 60th (third right). I liked this photo as we all looked very happy.

PHILLIPA'S PICKS FOR MAY - WINTER

JACKY'S PICKS FOR MAY - MORE AUTUMN

I was looking after Jolie today so asked Cassandra to put her in this dress as it was very autumy. So we went to a park by the zoo which has a large lake and lots of birds there. She was a little worried about them as there was two black swans and even I am wary of them.

The pink boots weren't quite in the theme but very hard to get her out of pink and she has outgrown her brown boots.

Today I had to go to hospital to have a bone density test, which I am happy to say my bones are fine. I parked in the park so brought home these autumn leaves to take some photos of.

MY FLEA MARKET FINDS

I couldn't believe my luck when I found these beautiful ice skates in a box at the Takapuna market. I was a bit wary at first as they had these red plastic covers on the blade but saw that they come off easily. To make it the bargain of the year they only wanted $1 for them. Not sure where I will put them but know they will look great at xmas time for decorations.

This was my second buy the deers antler. Because the antler is quite straight it was quite difficult to display somewhere. If you have any ideas where I could put him, let me know. In the meantime will keep it where it is.

PADDY'S PICKS FOR MAY - PASSING TIME

It was an overcast day and quite windy. I noticed this elderly man watching all the windsurfers. I liked how the seat and the man stood out against the dull day.

SHARON'S PICKS FOR MAY - BEAUTIFUL

Today I went to the Bride & Groom show to take some photos of Cassandra. I stood next to a photographer and because the lighting was quite difficult as it was dark I asked him if he could help me with my settings which helped a lot. Some I put in an antique setting as I thought they looked softer and not so pink.

These little cuties got a great applause.

This girl was very beautiful. I met her afterwards and she was telling me how the agencies say she needs to loose weight. Would you believe it.

Isn't this a beautiful gown.
