Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

I See Stars!

No ... I didn't hit my head!

The rain has stopped and I walked outside about an hour ago and saw stars in the sky!  How exciting!

I could see the cloud clearing out to the west this afternoon and it provided a beautiful sunset over the lagoon.

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight ... isn't that what they say?


By the time I realised the colour was happening, there wasn't time to get down to the river.  I'm sure it would have been pretty spectacular down there - however, the lagoon was pretty special.  I didn't have the tripod with me either, so I had to take the shot hand held.

So, by rights, the sun should be shining tomorrow and I plan on getting some good hours of photography in - although I might need to get some good hours of washing in too before I run out of clothes to wear!

In the meantime, I have two challenges for this month in our flickr photography group.

"Cozy" and "Repetition"

Any ideas out there?  Would love to hear them?

Time for bed ... I will star gaze out my bedroom window, until I fall asleep.

Nite all.

Thanks Judi - manipulation is not allowed in this challenge otherwise multiple Adoring Husbands standing in front of the ironing board, kitchen sink, washing machine and clothes line, would have been a fabulous idea lol!

Cozy ugg boots or slippers sounds good - I'll see what I can come up with :)
