A few night ago whilst sitting on the verandah we had the most unusual sunset. When I finally went and got my camera it had started to quiet down. I took this one of my nephew Tim who was busy taking photographs of his own.

I took this photograph for a friend. The original is in colour but I also like this b&w version.
My nephew Tim is the model.

This time last year you could not get it to rain. What a difference 12 months makes. Now it seems to rain every week and when the rain falls it always seems like we get quite a bit. Where I live it is normally quite dry and hot in the summer but this year has been very mild and wet.

Well just for a little change on the house renovations that seem to be the main focus of my blog lately I have been out and about taking some photographs of the local birds. I am thinking of possibly doing a bird calendar for 2012.
I have done a Landscape Calendar, Cycling Calendar so it might be time for birds. I'll have to wait and see if I can come up with 12 decent shots, here are a couple I took tonight.
