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!!

Day 225 in a Year of my Life

I almost got my dream shot this morning.



My dream shot is a rainbow across the river at exactly the turn of the tide so that the water is still and the rainbow is reflected in it.  A shot that I missed a year or more ago.

I did learn an important lesson though - when you're in the rain with your camera, protect it between shots ...


I took about eight shots before I looked and realised my photos were spotty.  Sad but true :)

Ya live n learn!

Today, I am grateful for backyard barbecues with delicious salads, the mouth watering aroma of meat and onions cooking on the grill and home made punch.  Catching up with friends for a couple of hours.

Time for bed.

Nite all.
