These are from this week in Melbourne, we took Jordy out in the pram to see everyones lights around PomPom's house. I also got a few crazy ones using bulb (shutter stays open as long as you hold it) and moving the camera around, they might be fun to use as overlays on layouts. Didn't actually get PomPom's lights coz she didnt have them up til yesterday, oh well. The globe thing in the middle picture is actually huge, you can see it behind Jordy in the side shots.
The smoke from the bushfires has been shocking, both here and in Melbourne. You can see the smoke in the above one. The fires are not near us but its scarey none the less, the smoke got so thick in the middle of the night before we went to Melbourne, we actually opened the curtains so we could see just in case there was one closer. Worries me living right next to the forest that we could have no warning if there was a fire, particularly when you see campers having fires in there when they aren't supposed to. Thinking of all those living near the current fires and those fighting them.
Got a stack more photos from Melbourne, lots of lovely ones of Bianca and Jesse
If you're reading my sister I'll put more up soon here or flickr.
So we finally got all the materials for our house (We paid NO INTEREST thanks to our solicitor finding a flaw in our contract which was a huge relief because it had clocked up to almost $10K!!!), the power pole and transformer went up today (but not connected yet so subdivision cant quite be finalised). Obviously we are now going to be delayed further by Christmas holidays but at least we are starting to see some progress. Makes a massive difference to our state of mind!

As always your pictures are amazing, you need to give lessons.
We go camping at the beach regularly in summer and I spend a lot of time trying to capture a seagull in flight, and have never been happy with what I have got so far, so I am officially jealous! Great shot.
Oh Lee, you've just got to feed them, makes it easy!
Wow Mel, you are so inspiring I just adore your photos! Glad things are going better with your subdivision issues.
Now no getting lazy..I love coming here to see your pics!
Wow, that globe is awesome and the pics look beautiful!
Great news on the building side - have been through building twice now, and it's not fun at times, especially when one builder goes broke half way through, but one day when you're in and settled, you'll forget most of the stuff you've had to deal with and it will all be worth it :o)
Hmmmm, doh! Never thought of that LOL!
Thanks ;)
Just beautiful Mel!
Wow Mel beautiful and stunning is all I can say with the LO of Jordy and those magnifecent photos. Gosh girl you have talent.
Glad to hear some good news with the building as well....about time for you.
Wishing you and your wonderful family a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year. Enjoy every special moment. Take care and catch up with you in the new year when we are back from holidays.
gorgeous photos as usual! I hear you on the bushfire/smoke thing.. I've taken to getting up int he morning and checking the CFA website on smokey days cause we can't even see Mt Macedon when it gets bad let alone be able to tell if it is near by smoke or far away smoke.. so scary!
