I don't know why but I have just always thought he was very sexy - had to share.

A photo a day: Eleven: beach love!

Inspired by PottyMouthMama's and Ellieboo's recent beach trips the madam and I thought we might venture down today - the weather couldn't really seem to decide if it was winter or spring so for us it was just perfect! Lot's of digging holes, rock collecting and cloud photo's (there is just something cool about clouds. There is just something that makes you feel good at the beach. Hope the day has been lovely for you all.
There are many more lovelies taking part in a photo a day - check it out at The Byron Life

A photo a day: Ten

We took the madam to a childrens farm thingy - I think I was more excited than her!

I know kangaroos are a bit of a pest but I think they rock!

Tommorrow....................I promise something with a little more substance and a lot less fluff!

Be gone oh negative ones

It's a bit disconcerting when you realise you have concentrated your energies in the wrong place - with probably the wrong people. I always thought I was a fairly good judge of character and had my priorities straight as far as who I surrounded myself with. I have changed my mind.

I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately. I think some of it has to do with turning 30 - I know that is, in the scheme of things, nothing major - but to me it was pretty huge. I also think that some of this self inflicted soul searching has to do with the madam getting older and I am suddenly more aware of just how absorbent children are to those around them.

I know ,realistically, everyone can't be happy and lovely all the time - I am just not sure why if I chose to look at something positively or not let something worry me people get a bit pissy that I'm not 'all about the drama'. I mean - what happened to actually being stoked for people when they find the karmic balance and are not sticking their heads in the oven!

I think what I have to do now is work on surrounding us with positive, inspiring, creative energies and (delicately) move away from these negative energies that seem to have become part of our world. Someone said to me not long ago 'it's all about the love' which sounds pretty good to me.

I know I am a bit behind in my photos but I am hoping to have my photos up to date today and my list up maybe tomorrow.

Challenge

I don't think I have written about this before but when I turned 30 a couple of months ago I made a list -41 things to do before I'm 40. All the things I have thought of and never tried, that I have put off to have the madam, not done because of the Mr - those sorts of things. But after looking around this lovely blogosphere of ours I am so inspired I am changing up my list - it was now be ' a different 40 things to every year until I turn 40'. I am hoping by writing it I will then also be a bit more accountable and get off my butt and do it!

Two of the most wonderfully inspiring blogs Soule Mama and Hoppo Bumpo - oh to have the skill and motivation!

Also check out Flux Capacitor - Maggie is an amazing writer and covers many, many subjects, feelings, emotions in such an incredible way - the sort of blog you are still thinking about 3 days after you have read it.

A photo a day: Seven

Because sometimes it would be nice to just keep driving.

A photo a day: six : Shopping Local

These photo's were taken on the run (like you can't tell that!) but this is the food stall down the main road - it has all of lifes neccesities - dried apple chips, cactus, chook poo and the absolute worlds best pumpkins! The madam has developed such an affinity for our roadside pumpkins that I must buy her a special pumpkin each time.
