Week 99

L - From the Shadows - We headed up to the snow this past weekend for some snowboarding! Its much like spring here which is WAY too early and it looks like the snow wont hang around this year sad :-( Still we had a great time with what is there and enjoyed the sunshine! Ooh and I got a new snowboard which was all kinds of awesome!!


R - EARTHQUAKE! here was an earthquake just south of DC we got quite the shake up here, was scary! we haven't had earthquake evacuation training though so no one really knew what to do. Eventually we 
went out the emergency exit, I laughed at the sign! Oh and this is Rebecca!



Week 98

L - A Snail's Pace - I am kinda fascinated by snails in that they appear from dark damp places when the rain appears and slide around the back garden and then disappear again. Crazy crawlies!


R - Lady Liberty - Scott and Katie came to visit, we went on the Staten Island Ferry, drank cheap beer and got this nice shot of the lady herself!

Week 97

L - Lovely Gift - My job is a dull place these days with the many 'characters' shall we say moving on. I know you are there to work but a bit of fun never hurt anyone. 
Anyway, Jane (or Jane-O/Janester as I would call her) was my creative outlet in my otherwise dull day. She worked at reception and always happy to have a chat about some new idea or just bounce my artistic ideas off. She left last week and gave me the loveliest little gift to say thanks for supporting her and generally being crazy old me. With my wee pressie she picked a fresh poesy of spring (early) blossom and blue gum leaves. So great...THANK YOU JANE-O!!

R - Vintage cameras at the flea - There are all sorts of treasures at the Brooklyn Flea and the vintage cameras have to be my favourite! a touch of ye olden days on the edit and this is what you get.....

Week 96

L - Fruits of my labour - Well a couple of weeks ago I posted a pic of my Lemon tree and this week I thought i would post a pic of my efforts using the yummy lemons. So I cheated a little and used a pastry case, mainly because I didn't have quite the right tin. The rest is all home made! Yummers.


R - Bare Bulb - this is from the bathroom in one of my favourite neighbourhood bars I enjoy the concrete, that's all really! oh and we can bring diego there, so we go a lot :)


Week 95

L - Melbourne Institution - Victoria Bitter or VB is quite the institution in Melbourne and of course Victoria! I am not a huge fan myself but I am a fan of this sign which I see when I drive to the city! Normally I am driving and its a very busy road so stopping somewhere to snap it is always hard. However, on a Sunday jaunt with Shane into the city - I managed to think fast and snap this out of the window of the car. Yes the car was moving and I took 1 and only 1 photo. The vintage feel was all natural too just a grey dull day = this pic and I love it.


R - Zombie! Perhaps a little random this week, but we had a wee bit of a bowling party for one of our lab mates who is leaving. We bought some sticky toys (including eyeballs) from gumball dispenser things and this is what happened!
