FAMILY

Family

 


 Here is mine!

 

Here is a duck family at Emily bay.

And here are some family photo shoots I have done on the island.

 

Shangri-la

Minischool has moved!
WE are so blessed to be given this amazing space called Shangri-la.

Ideally located closer to town, and in very close proximity to Norfolk Island Central School, Paradise Hotel & Resort, Governors Lodge Hotel & Resort, opposite the Cheryl Tennis Club and a short stroll to Queen Victoria's garden.

We will miss our water views but have gained an amazing garden space full of adventure trails.

We look forward to putting in more garden areas like a fairy grotto, a pirate cove and a dinosaur garden.

You can see what we all love about Minischool on our blog

DINNER

~Week 8~

 

Dinner





 Fresh local Trumpeter flash fried.
Yu car beat et
(you can't get better than that)

Pinetree tours night as a convict dinner which has been running twice a week for years on the island. There is my husband on the right with a donger.

NATURAL

Week 7, May 2014 ~ Natural

 Look at the amazing details and natural fibres used in these Bounty Hats.

Wunnas or sea urchins occur naturally around our reefs. I love this empty urchin shell I found washed up on the beach.

COLOURFUL

Week 6, May 2014 ~ Colourful

 

 How much more colourful can Norfolk Island get! It is a photographers dream!!!

 I wanted to add this photo for last weeks prompt 'fresh' as a friend picked them out of his garden on the way to our impromptu bbq at the beach. It doesn't get any fresher or more colourful, let alone tasty than that.

I have found out that I am a chromophile (terrible name, but it just means that I LOVE COLOUR!) My favourite colours are rainbows :)

 The sunrise from my back deck

 Sunset at Kingston pier.

 My sons favourite colourful babycino at the Olive café.

 

Here is my rainbow daughter when she sang 'Over the rainbow' at the Norfolk Island Talent quest

 

and here is the YouTube link

a little perspective

 I was taking silhouettes shots of my three cherubs during last nights spectacular sunset.

 My husband decides it would be funny to photobomb us.

Then to make up for it, tells me that he will include me in a rare moment in front of the camera.

He then tells me that its a stupid photo because he cant see us :D hehehehehe

What is that old saying? "nice camera, it must take nice photos is equal to telling your dinner party hostess that the food was nice so they must have a nice oven!
Sometimes it is as simple as the perspective, get onto your knees and try it for yourself.
Its true, without that sunset behind the silhouettes, it is just a plain photo with a little bit of water & colour in the background.
We had a good giggle at this afterwards.

Friday Favourite ~ Autumn sunsets are the best (dar bas)

 Over looking Puppies point and out to sea.

 It was a spectacular lightshow as the sun set at Puppies Point on the Anson bay side of the island.
Even looking up towards the moon was a treat.
It is no wonder why so many of our tourists love it here.

Friday Favourite ~ Autumn sunrises are the best (dar bas)

Autumn sunrises... there is nothing quite like them

Except for Autumn sunsets!

FRESH

Week 5, May 2014 ~ Fresh

 

Last snorkelling for the year in Emily and Slaughter bay

This is the last weekend that I usually snorkel before the cooler waters from NZ wash up and make me say brrrrr.

 

The tropical wildlife that lives below the surface will still be waiting for me when I return in December.

I have enjoyed the Easter weekend public holidays plus Anzac day to go down to the reef and play with my friends. They are a fabulous reminder of our amazing planet.


Here is a go pro underwater video taken by my friends and fellow bloggers. It is definitely worth a 2 minute viewing of your time. You will see why we are so lucky to live here.

Hang on...they are wearing wetsuits!!!
What a novel idea!

I might have to order one for Mothers day and then I can play with my fishy friends in the most incredible coral gardens all year round!

 And my husband says he never knows what to buy me for gifts (even after 23 years together)

Helllloooooo....make me a mermaid!
