Heres' my Shadow Shot(s) Sunday #141




These fishy specimens are on display at the Seaside Museum located on beautiful Bribie Island. A little bit creepy to me but some nice shadows were to be found.


My favourtie shadow from my visit to the museum was the one cast along the concrete just outside the entrance thanks to the clever and cool stencil sign.

I'll be away over the next couple of days with internet access limited only to my iphone, so unfortunatley I'll not be able to visit participants this week. So if anybody makes a boo boo when entering their link into Mr Linky, just enter another link with the words 'correct link' next to it because I wont be able to edit and fix any links this weekend. And if the Mr Linky site goes down (as has been happening a bit of late) leave your link in the comments section so others can find you. So I hope everyone has a super weekend and I'll see all next SSS!

Happy Sunday!

Heres' my Shadow Shot Sunday #140


While pottering around in my garden the other day I snapped this pic of my chillies. I like the shadows decorating the pot behind. That pot contains some thriving oregano. Both chillies and oregano made their way into a pasta dish I cooked last night. It was rather tasty! I love how the addition of a few fresh herbs can totally transform a simple meal into something much more special.

Another herb I love is Basil, but unfortunately so do grasshoppers. As I know many shadow shooters are skilled gardeners I was hoping for some advice because nothing I’ve tried so far has worked. So if anybody knows of any environmentally friendly ways of dealing with grasshoppers please feel free to share your tips. I’d certainly appreciate any advice any of you may have!

Happy Sunday!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner it seemed a good time to share some of the love related prints that I have available in my shop. Just in case you may be stuck for ideas about what to give your significant other. Or a friend. Or a friend's significant other. Oh wait... that may seem weird.

floods

Hello. A note to all the lovely people who have sent messages to me regarding the Queensland floods. Thank you so much for the concern and positive wishes. It means so very much to me. What is happening right now is devastating and I can’t find the words to describe how I feel but I wanted you to know that I’m safe. My loved ones are safe. I'm lucky. The area I live in is not one of the expected areas yet to experience major flooding over the coming days. Yet the expected areas are MANY and it’s frightening to think about what has yet to happen. And to think about what has already happened. And is currently happening. So please keep in your thoughts and prayers all of the people who have been, and are yet to be affected by the floods. It’s likely services (power, internet etc..) will be lost over the coming days. I really have no idea what will happen but latest updates state that power will be cut to the CBD (central business district) in Brisbane early tomorrow morning. So it’s probable that even those of us not directly affected by flood waters will be indirectly affected in other ways such as power loss. Again, I don’t know for sure. I’m only guessing and going by what others are saying. The thing is with these situations nobody really knows what to expect. So if I vanish from cyber space for a while that will be why. Again, thanks for your lovely thoughts and wishes and if you can save them all up for those who really need them right now that would be awesome. Because there are so many who are needing them right now. Love Tracy xo

If you are able to assist financially, you may donate HERE to the flood appeal.

PS - The above photo I had planned to use as a Wordless Wednesday post this week. Obviously this doesn’t count as a ‘wordless’ post but I included the photo anyway because I had nothing else appropriate to accompany this post.

Heres' my Shadow Shot Sunday #138




Again, not many shadows were out and about this week. So here are some reflections. Not quite shadows but the best I could do. This is how my deck has looked for the majority of the week. I seriously need a roof on my deck. A great big deck umbrella is usually there but I've had to pack it away due to the storms and strong winds of late. I didn't want my lovely big umbrella blowing away...

Happy Sunday!

photo wood blocks

Piles of wood cut by my wonderful dad all ready for sanding.

Neat little stacks of freshly sanded blocks. That was hard work.

Drying after having a light coat of clear satin varnish applied.

And some of the completed blocks with photos mounted to them.
I've just listed 'made to order' photo blocks in my Etsy shop. Customers can choose any photo or art print from my shop to be mounted to the blocks.

Thanks for looking!

Heres' my Shadow Shot Sunday #137


This was taken at Dalpura Beach, which is a short stroll from my house. I had to dig into the archives for my shadow shot this week due to the weather not playing very nicely. Bad bad weather. While I've had my share of problems due to all the rain of late, none of them come close to what many other Queenslanders are sadly going through right now. So I count myself lucky. So far anyway. Ok, let's move onto more positive things. It's now 2011! Happy New Year everybody! I'm looking forward to a whole new year of shadowy goodness from you guys! You're all awesome! I hope 2011 is a healthy, happy and safe year for you all. Thanks for being so inspiring and bringing so much fun to this little meme! xo

Happy Sunday!
