A few photos and a blog award

.
Hi

I have not had a lot of time for crafting of late, so many things taking priority.

But I thought today I would share a few photos with you.

I have seen so many wonderful photos on some of the blogs that I visit and I find that I love getting a little glimpse in to my blogging friends lives. So I thought I would share a few photos of my own.

First up, winter sunrise here in Far North Queensland, Australia. This photo was taken from our front veranda about 6:15am the other morning.



Now I'd love to say that I took this photo, but it would be a lie. Mornings are a boy thing in my house. Dear Hubby and my eldest boy are always up around 5:30am and the younger two are up not long after. They are very good and wait till 6:30am before they come sneaking in to wake me up with cuddles. (It will be so sad when they are too old to do that). They did try to get me out of bed early to view this spectacular sunrise but I opted for another 15 minutes sleep, slack hey! I'm glad Hubby took this photo so I didn't miss it completely.

I did take the rest of these photos though


This is a photo (also taken from our front veranda) shows a typical winters day here in the tropics. Our average daily temp is about 28 degrees (approx. 82 degrees Fahrenheit).

And here are a few of our favourite residents that we share our home with.



Our lovely Kingfishers



We now have a very magestic pair of Kookaburras who have started to visit us every evening.



and when our African Tulip trees are in flower, we get flocks of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos.



Finally one of our perhaps less glamerous but still amazing fellow residents is the Titan Stick Insect. And yes that is me holding it!


And now on to my recent blog award, given to me by the lovely, generous and incredibly talented Barbara from Barbara's World of Whimcees



Thank you Barbara for thinking of me. I have so enjoyed your recent posts about Little Doll and Fat Cat.

Seeing as how this has been such a long post. I will come back another time and forward this award on to some inspiring blogs.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you all have a wonderful day.
