Coastal Style

I am such a lucky ducky! Last week I won a $100 gift voucher to spend at the beautiful Coastal Style in Bicheno courtesy of Think-Tasmania. Thank you! Andi and I spent the weekend camping up the east coast soaking up the sun and walking along the beaches. Unfortunately we both forgot to pack our cameras! So instead of surf I’ve taken some product shots of the beautiful homewares I chose shopping at Coastal Style. I picked out a pretty lantern and two lovely Ecoya candles just in time to go into my brand new house! Hooray!

Lake Dobson

Seagull

This week had a beautiful Wednesday so we went to the beach and I snapped up a couple of these photos of my friend here. He was the king of the gulls and proud of it too.

Kingston Beach

Rainbow

I really love this shot I got of a rainbow today, kind of reminds me of the teletubbies though!

Limousine Cow

This is a painting I’ve just finished of a Limousine Cow. I love him. I’ve been watching a lot of Deadwood lately and listening to Alberta Cross so I was in a very country kind of mood for this one. I have wanted to paint a cow for a long time now and I finally got around to it. I’ve never painted an animal before!
I actually painted this one in Acrylic for a change, rather than the usual oil. I practically got it finished in a day, rather than months and the cleaning process only took 10 minutes instead of the usual hour. I think I’m a convert. I’m crossing over to the dark side.
Hope you like him!
P.s. Cows are not food or milk machines they’re beautiful, feeling beings that inspire art. Click the Vegan Tasmania link to learn more and cut out meat and milk from your diet. Thanks!

The Blue View

Ok so I’ve already shown you the track to get here in these posts:

Warm Winter Sun
Sun Shadow

And here you have the view. Pretty isn’t it?

Sun Shadow

Once again these are some shots of the walk, next post I’ll show you the view from the top!

Warm Winter Sun

These are some shots I took on a walk the other day, had some fun catching the warm winter rays.

Last Autumn Flower

This is the last flower I spotted in the garden. It’s getting cold! Loving the bokeh in this shot.

Indiana Jones

This is what happens when it’s cold and windy and there are no flowers to speak of… You go back inside and take photos of your cat.

Peacock Vase

Every time I go out lately I forget to pack my camera and as a result I felt the urge to do some photographing! It’s very dreary and dark outside today so going to the backyard to shoot some greenery wasn’t the best idea so I decided to take a photo of my pretty new vase I got over the weekend instead. Isn’t she lovely?

B&W Holga

These are the last of the black and white Holga shots I have to show you.
A pretty random two but I love them.

B&W Holga Homes

Just a couple of B&W Holga Shots of two beautiful local houses!

Park Beach Surf

I love the green water in this photo. I have no idea why it’s green when the others are blue. I’ve put exactly the same edits on all three shots. I love it anyway.

Windeward Bound

While generally disgusted by fishing boats sometimes disgusting things make for good photos.
Once again these shots were taken with black and white film in my toy Holga.
This next boat, Windeward Bound, just happened to be pretty.

B&W Holga Water Shots

Park Beach 2012

These were some shots I took over the weekend at Park Beach. The waves were a little small but I still got some photo’s I’m happy with over Andi’s birthday week. I love the composition of this next shot. I just got lucky though!

Holga B&W Street Shots

Hey guys, I know it’s been a while, will be posting more often from now on! Also an apology is due to those of you who received some spammy emails from my email address last week. My account got hacked for a night and some “work from home” kind of emails were sent out to those of you in my address book. Don’t worry there was no virus attached and my email address is now my own again and has been safely restored to normal!

Hope you’re enjoying your day and appreciate these shots of Tassie Streets.

Princess

Meet Princess, she lives in my neighbourhood and likes to come over for visits. She’s very pretty so my little sisters named her Princess. We’re pretty sure our kitty, Indiana, likes her quite a bit.

Don’t worry, this was just a yawn. She didn’t maul me or anything.
