We've enrolled Otto in singing lessons. He's been wanting this since he was tiny. So this video was taken during his very first lesson. I think he has talent, don't you? Seems a natural to me.
See, Daisy darling? Several bites in....and your lipstick is still intact. And don't worry...I'll make sure you get lots and LOTS of practice from here on out. 😊
the first session I have done with my little Grace since she 'accidently" chopped off her hair..yes..you heard right! lol She got a round brush tangled in the side and her independant 6 yr old problem solving was to simply "cut it out" and no one would be the wiser! eek! soooo....pixie cut it was..there were tears..mostly mine, but we both have learned a very valuable lesson...to look beyond the outside and to the inside, she is beautiful no matter what...and meanwhile..it grows...

History of Surfer Parades
James Beattie, a farmer, became the first European to settle in the area when he staked out an 80-acre (32 ha) farm on the northern bank of the Nerang River, close to present-day Cavill Avenue. The farm proved unsuccessful and was sold in 1877 to German immigrant Johan Meyer, who turned the land into a sugar farm and mill. Meyer also had little luck growing in the sandy soil and within a decade had auctioned the farm and started a ferry service and built the Main Beach hotel. By 1889, Meyer's hotel had become a post receiving office and subdivisions surrounding it were named Elston, named by the Southport postmaster after his wife's home in Southport, Lancashire, England. The Main Beach Hotel licence lapsed after Meyer's death in 1901 and for 16 years Elston was a tourist town without a hotel or post office.
The boom of the 1950s and 1960s was centred on this area and the first of the tall apartment buildings were constructed in the decades that followed. Little remains of the early vegetation or natural features of the area and even the historical association of the beachfront development with the river is tenuous. The early subdivision pattern remains, although later reclamation of the islands in the Nerang River as housing estates, and the bridges to those islands, have created a contrast reflected in subdivision and building form. Some early remnants survived such as Budd's Beach — a low-scale open area on the river which even in the early history of the area was a centre for boating, fishing and swimming.
Some minor changes have occurred in extending the road along the beachfront since the early subdivision and The Esplanade road is now a focus of activity, with supporting shops and restaurants. The intensity of activity, centred on Cavill, Orchid and Elkhorn Avenues, is reflected in the density of development. Of all places on the Gold Coast the buildings in this area constitute a dominant and enduring image visible from as far south as Coolangatta and from the mountain resorts of the hinterland.

So here's the light painting fail I've been talking about in the last few photos. It's not horrible, but it didn't turn out how I imagined it. (It's possible that nothing turns out like I imagine, and that's been true so far, but I'm always trying to get as close as I can) My test shot was a little over exposed, and I went to far trying to compensate for that. (the spiral, along with the whole scene isn't bight enough) Every fail is a lesson learned in my eyes, so it wasn't all for nothing. We've had some rain, and more of the snow is gone from the lake, so I'll have to come up with a new way to make a spiral and try again.
First time developing my own film. Quarantine was a great opportunity to learn i guess. Pretty pleased with the results. This frame and some others didn’t receive enough developer due to loading the film with a little water in my hand da, causing the film to stick in places, not allowing the developer to properly process the frame. With that said I love this shot blemish and all.

My older son explaining to his younger brother how to use an Olympus PEN. These guys shot off a whole roll of Velvia. 72 shots! While there was not many "keepers" there were some pretty funny pics.

The choir I'm in sang a wonderful service of Lessons and Carols to lead up to Christmas. Since I took the pictures, there is one person missing from the choir portrait.
Wiki was helpful this morning in illustrating what an authentic cat looks like. And then she did her meercat imitation as a bonus. Accept no substitutes.

Low tide at Victoria Point ( Vicky Point, as the locals call it ) in Queensland. The mud flat went out for about 50 m or so, and I learnt a valuable lesson about the further out you go, the softer the mud, and the more you sink ! I guess every good photo has a story behind it.
