Thank You to everyone for your comments in the past couple of weeks. My eldest baby came home from hospital yesterday! We're belatedly celebrating his 18th tonight with a largish group of friends! Looking forward to unwinding a little over the coming days. Now onto some 'roo facts.

Thanks for stopping by my visual journal! Any comments written, are greatly appreciated.

I take photos because I enjoy it, I find it relaxing, it's a creative outlet and because I can't draw! lol I have no style to speak of. If something catches my eye, I'll photograph it, as I perceive it. I'm experimental if I do any PP work to a photo, as this is part of the creative process for me. So as you can see, I have no aspirations to be a Master Photographer. I take photos simply because I enjoy it. If you're interested there are more bits and pieces here.
