Stacey's 30th - Ramblers Skydive!

Went up the north coast over the weekend to watch the lovely Stacey and a bunch of our friends jump out of a perfectly good plane (including my fiance who was surprised with a Skydive by Dave and Stacey) - I'm too much of a chicken and have too many things that don't work in my favour (suffer from extreme fear of heights and motion sickness - blergh) - so I stayed on Terra Firma and took photos for everyone. This is a screencap of one of the good ones of Stacey - (wearing my lovely shocking pink Lorna Jane Jacket) - I promise to try and upload some more good ones after I go through the 500+ I took for them! This is the first time I've used my camera in months (since Gold Coast Supanova) and it felt good to use it again!

Playing Tourist Around South-East Queensland

I love when interstate/overseas come to visit. Not only do we get to see each other and spend some quality time together, but I get to play tourist in my home town (and surrounds).

Over the past weekend my gorgeous friend Di came up from Sydney to spend five days with her friends in Brisbane. She stayed with me for two nights. We went to North Stradbroke Island, which is my favourite part of South East Queensland. It's got everything: Surf, Sand, Sunshine and just a gorgeous casual laid back atmosphere that is SO relaxing.

Di and Nic also visited Broadbeach, and I took a day to go down and spend the afternoon with them. Wish I could have taken more photos, but conditions weren't ideal with lots of smoke haze around.

Come back soon Di! :-)

I feel very fortunate to be given the opportunity to go flying high above Bribie Island, Caloundra and the Glasshouse Mountains over the weekend. My father who is now a qualified pilot (for small engine planes) took me up for a bit of a joyflight. Such an amazing experience and so cool to see my Dad in control of the plane, and hearing him communicate with the ground control at various airports. It was a hazy day - so most of the photos I took were unclear, but I have shared the best of the bunch.

Attended our good friend Adam's 30th Birthday on Saturday.

We are so blessed to have him and his gorgeous wife Lamees in our life. Two absolutely beautiful people. Inside and out.

I took my camera along to take a few photos.

Happy Birthday Adam! : )

Visiting my dad up at Bribie for a good old Sunday Roast provided me with one of the best sunsets I have ever seen, thanks largely in part to the sheer amount of bushfires and burn offs that are taking place around South East Queensland.

A day of photography underneath Brisbane's 'Gateway Bridge' (all of which were over/under exposed) and also at Roma Street Parklands.

The photograph of the bee was a personal challenge for me as I have an irrational fear of bees. ; )
