Lest We Forget

Yesterday was ANZAC DAY, April 25th. A day of rememberance for those who made the supreme sacfrifice so that we can live in a country as free and as wonderful as it is today.

My home town of Swansea holds an annual march along the main street of town and ending at the R.S.L Club for a mid morning service to honour those we remember.

Here are a few of my favourite images taken during the service.

The Ode

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.


Lest We Forget.

Wedding of Megan & Kurt

Last Saturday was the wedding of Megan & Kurt. You might remember seeing them earlier this year with their beach engagement session.

Well things didn't start off looking quite as good as i had hoped when i injured my leg and had it elevated and on ice for 30 minutes prior to starting the shooting for the day...Thankyou to my sisters puppy Piper for including me in your extremely vigorous game with your action ball...that thing hurts!

Anyway, after icing and keeping the swelling to a minimum before strapping, off we set for our day.... and straight into bucketting down rain!..not just heavy rain - it was pelting! Things didnt look like they were going to go according to my plan at all.


However.......Mother Nature did decide to play fair after all and whilst the day wasn't the brightest it did not rain on us at any time during our outdoor sessions for which i am truly thankful!


Anyway enough from me, take a look at a small sneak preview of Megan and Kurts images from their day.

Kangaroo Valley & Fitzroy Falls

Last weekend my family all travelled down the South Coast to Nowra to celebrate my nana's 90th birthday. It was a very quick trip down but we did do a little sightseeing on the return trip back via Kangaroo Valley and Fitzroy Falls. I hardley ever get to travel down the coast so i made sure to get a few photos this time round with plans to try to make a nice holiday down the way in the future.

So here are a few of my favourite images.. i love Hampden Bridge, gorgeous sandstone with turrets.. As you can tell it is a historical bridge and there is a little historical museuum/ village there to be explored too. That has to wait till next trip as we just didnt have a great deal of time to spend there unfortunately.

The countryside was just beautiful to view...and i sat back watching and thinking of my pioneering ancestors and how their land would have been very similar to this as it was only within 20 kms of Kangaroo Valley. I wish i could have seen more photos of the land and the beautiful old home that belonged to my family...

After leaving Kangaroo Valley it was a short drive into Morton National Park for a stop at Fitzroy Falls. Once again a short visit but we did take one of the walking tours dor a few different views of the waterfall. What gorgeous scenery all around us, surrounded by mountain ridges and the smells of the bush.
