  Thought I’d get a bit wet and go into the heart of the city for a walk. Shots taken with a D mk3 and 70-200 f/2.8IS – blessed are those with rain proof gear. ( images are linked to larger versions for those with bandwidth issues ) 1. / 2. / 3. / 4. / 5. / 6. / 7. / 8. / 9. / / . / Tips for shooting in the rain: I’ve found that with an extra large large rain jacket i can sling my camera underneath and keep it dry as i walk around in the rain put your camera over your shoulder and then put your rain jacket over the top be careful of non weather proof camera gear – use it under shelter when you can and don’t risk trying to take it out in the rain when shooting wet tarmac or dark paving make sure you use a bit of exposure compensation (i suggest -2/3 of a stop ) don’t try to use an umbrella when shooting – you’ll need an extra hand and you can see what can happen from the above images if your camera bag isn’t waterproof then cut a plastic bag up to help to keep out most of the water dry out your bag and gear thoroughly when you get home – the foam protection in the bag will take a lot of drying

• On this cold, wet and windy day, something to share!

  Wind The wind is a pervert, / Playfully tugging at girls skirts, / Reaching down peoples tops, / And in a frenzy whipping up the leaves / Into a revolt, then sending them to mischief. / Then he stops, as if tired from playing, / Sulking like a disobedient dog when confronted. / The trees stop swaying and the leaves stop swirling, / And the world sighs with relief, / Then with an insolent smile he starts again. / He picks up exactly where he left off. / Hurling dirt, twigs and leaves at passers by. / Blowing raspberries from the heavens. / He invites his friends to join him, / To wreak havoc on the world, Thunder and Lightning. / Oh yes the wind is a pervert, / Toying with the skirts of passers by. / Then the worlds had enough. / He reaches out and hits the winds rear end, / Sending the wind running in terror followed by his friends. by Kirsten Brown

  :) we are still surrounded by miles of red sand here..but this morning , it is wet red sand! last night there were showers, adding up to just over 7 mm rain. Much needed, and ,hopefully it means there will be SOME green appearing soon :) ‘tis only a drop in the bucket, but it’s OUR drop, and valuable for all that. Rainwater tanks for drinking are now full again, and any small green things which sprang into life after the last little rain some weeks back, will now have something to keep them alive :)

  After many months of the land baking in extreme heat, the land being parched of all it’s moisture – every plant and animal is pushed to it’s limits of existance in this volatile climatic region.But like all seasons, they slowly change and the first showers and storms begin to form – isolated and somewhat benign in nature at first. Though this soon changes as the build up season gets into full swing and the heat and humidity is at it’s peak. The thunderstorms become more frequent and sometimes more violent and often dumping very heavy rainfall in short periods with cooler refreshing outflow winds temporarily providing relief from the stiffling heat and humidity…though once the storm clears and the sun returns the added moisture at ground levels sends the humidity skyrocketing again. / Wetlands begin to become rejuvinated remarkebly quickly again as all plants and animals look to make the most of this high speed growing and breeding season before the dry returns. Before it does though is the all mighty wet season with daily downpours, winds and little sunshine… This leaves the vast wetlands of the top end once again in full splendour of the annual floods. Access becomes very limited but what a majestic sight it is. This dramatic climate dries as quickly as it explodes and once again the top end will experience many months of cloudless skies as the cycle continues. take a glance at my relevant photograph that inspired me writing this piece… / http://www.redbubble.com/mybubble/works/edit_image/22722

  Well, some might argue the ‘art’ of this project, but to me this is a passion and I believe anything done with passion is an art form. I suppose it’s more of a restoration of art really. But, let me get to it. Her name is Sunny. She is in desperate need of some love and attention, she is older than I am but very much full of life. So, together Sunny and I are going to make an effort to grow and learn new things and take redbubble along for the ride, too. First thing’s first, Sunny was in desperate need of a bath!! Sunny is a 1971 Super Beetle (yes, like Herbie was but without the soft top). She has the original McPherson suspension in the front, an elongated trunk for more luggage room and a sleeker look, hehe. Her engine is all original, as is the interior, the hub caps and the colour. I rescued Sunny from a friend’s garage. She’s been locked away for years and her previous owner and I agreed that it was time to get her going again. So, we agreed on a very reasonable price and it’s now up to me to get this little Bug on the road! I have had some small experience in restorations from years ago when I lived in Bendigo. There are no beaches there, so doing up old cars are a good way to keep out of trouble. (Or get into trouble, depends on how you look at it, hehe). Next job on the list is thorough engine, brakes, steering and rust assessment. (Keep fingers crossed)

  I wonder what photo opportunities are available right at this moment? Perhaps a close up of a puddle being pummelled by rain drops – the cliché black and white photo of a woman with a red umbrella (I ask you – how often do you see a woman with a red umbrella??)....a close-up of bright coloured gumboots......people dashing for shelter (black and white)......kids in rain coats ...with arms outstretched…..rain drops dripping off a branch on a tree.....with a blurred background of a church…...woollen gloved hands wrapped around a hot cup of coffee.........then I come back to reality after this little day dream and realise that I’m sitting at my desk at work – unable to capture any of these photos….so for now I’ll just keep on imagining….............

  I have decided to start showcasing mini-photo-journeys in my journal from time to time. These will be brief pictorials that show something in succession. This is the first one. So, won’t you join me as we journey through…Milo Kittlesworth’s bath time blues? A few days before my family from Wales arrived, we decided to give Milo a little bath (that he so desperately needed). He is an indoor-outdoor cat, so he likes to roll in the dirt from time to time and be a total pig. So, Greg tossed him in the sink and gave him a bath (I was there to help and take pictures…but mostly take pictures). I did not have a tripod handy (I know…”bad photographer!”) and there was so much commotion going on, so they came out a little blurry. Still, cute… The Infamous Milo Kittlesworth… / He wanted to jump and run!!! LoL… / He hates bath time so much… / Cara de lastima… (Did I spell that right?) / You looking at me, punk?... / Now we dry him…diva style… / I look like such a dork-a-doo… / Trying to escape… / Next, we brush the kitty… / Greg holds Milo while I brush his BELLY!!!!! / So fresh and so clean… / {The End} :)

  CATALOGUE OF THE OLDEST PAGE OF MY BUBBLE WRITING LIST Hi to all my watchers and a big hello to anyone new to my bubble! :O) I just realised I have HEAPS of writing on here lol and my really good stuff is waaaaaaaay up the back and being ignored and neglected <( – So I decided to send you all looking at it again :O) These are my Page Six works { Quick read them before they become page 7 works lol :O)} The first piece I posted was / Oralist / This is the first poem I ever read out in public :O) SCARY stuff! Considering I’d never considered myself a poet in any way :O) but then what is an oralist but someone who communicates by mouth – and words do come forth from my mouth at an alarming pace :O) What’s worse is they are faster in my brain! <$ My Beast / Is proudly about my writing addiction and the glorious tool that is my PC :O) Mountain Mists / Is about my love of the Victorian High Country Fragile / Autobiographical poem about how I found myself Growth Gap / The first unconscious poem I wrote when dealing with seeing my children after not On the Wings of Our Love / The first RB art inspired poem, it was just the focus I needed to write of my love Paying Dues / A comical piece about the price I pay, have paid to be the writer I am Frank / My first serious poem ever written and read out Plastic Pearl / Another poem depicting the cheekiness I think about before I answer honestly Addicted / Like My Beast this describes my love affair with words and writing! What to Do / I wrote this prose piece at school for an essay on “What did I want to be when I grew up!” I still say “Old” Going Home / I wrote this for my man “Skik”:http://www.redbubble.com/people/skik the blurb will tell you how Confirmation / A day dream at the letterbox – ah if only! These last four are from my first novel “The Daintree Daughters” a massive thing over 120,000 words long! There are two journal entries explaining it better Author’s Note & Synopsis. This First paragraphs was the first thing of my writing I ever showed / read out to anyone since the only play I wrote back my first Secondary School year. 36 years ago! [Man! I’m old! <( lol] / First Paragraphs They are unconsciously written abstract prose passages. I was compelled to write one for the beginning of each section or book and after it is as if each unconsciously dictates the flavour of the corresponding book that followed. These next three are my three heroines views on the last scene of their individual parts. You choose which sister you wish to read first. [659w] Mandy has found out her man has done stuff behind her back and Calamity Jane style gone riding in to sort it out! [1381w] Molly has been touring the Victorian Gold fields in the company of the man she had slowly come to realise was responsible for their father’s death and the demise of her mother and sisters and herself. ever the affectionate one she has eyes for a few of the men crossing her path. Poor sensible Mary [1098w] has had to suffer the most. Married out of duty to a man who turns into a crazed madman she has been locked up and slowly forced to loose her mind. Although now safely hidden from her husband by the doctor for her own health her view on the world has become a little detatched. The action takes place in and around the doctor’s house where Mary is upstairs, Molly is down stairs with her sister’s in-laws the Hamilton’s and the town’s doctor, Grant, and the doctor’s assistant, Jack, and Mandy’s estranged intended Matt, and his assistant, George. Well these are my old pieces. The first pagers of my Bubble Writing list. Check them out on a rainy afternoon when the bubble is slow and there’s not much else to do! – like today in Melbourne! lol :O) Enjoy ! :O)

• Wet Snow and Downed Trees .. part 2
  by owlspook

  last night was the worst .. see my journal entry Wet Snow and Downed Trees … part 1...

  last night was the worst .. see my journal entry Wet Snow and Downed Trees … part 1 for what was happening last night … I promised photos … this time I didn’t go out into the snow .. don’t have any winter boots and the snow’s too deep for my waterproof comfy very warm slippers .. so I took the shots out the back door and off the front porch .. there are more downed trees that I couldn’t photograph .. one we need to move as soon as we can .. it’s sitting on top of the propane tank! Otherwise, so far, no damage we can tell to the roof of the trailer .. thankfully .. this is going to be a mess to clean up … going to need help .. some of the limbs are quite large and alas I don’t own a chain saw … this photo was taken out of my back door .. the bush you see are actually three young suckers off a stump that are almost seven feet tall .. the building you see in the back is our neighbors workshop … this second shot is off the front porch .. one huge limb and a few smaller ones have fallen… this third photo is again taken out the back door .. this time looking toward the woodshed .. you can see the big fallen limb of the tree on the ground .. and to the right behind the orange fencing is another limb which is out of sight in this shot this last shot is again out the door ..here you can see the icicles in the foreground .. also a better shot of the snow in the background trees Was quite an exciting night .. so thankful none of the limbs fell on the trailer .. here’s hoping they won’t fall today …

  Some of you had to work this long weekend, like I usually do (but didn’t!!!!!), but for the rest of you that had Saturday’s Drawing Day to draw, Sunday to relax and Monday to hang out anywhere you like, I hope it you all had fun! I know we did! My son and I went to the beach yesterday. It was cold, slightly windy and wet…. but only wet from the knees down (for me… my son sat in the water fully clothed!!). The water wasn’t cold surprisingly. I thought it’d be freezing. I know people say that the water is warmer in Winter than it is in Summer, but I’ve never really believed them until now. Maybe it’s cos we’re cold already!! Next time I’ll be rolling my jeans up!!! I only took a few hundred photos… you know the usual… sandcastle, sky, birds, clouds, sea, waves, sand, then all again including my child!!! This afternoon or tonight I’ll upload one or two. After I’ve done my homework for tafe. Question Why is it that on weekends, especially long weekends, kids wake up early every day. Then on the day they have to go back to school, they sleep late? Practicing being a teenager do you think? And mine’s only 9 years old (10 next month). ;D

  it’s midnight here in NE Wyoming on Sunday .. it snowed yesterday and last night leaving a lot of wet snow on the branches .. we lost a few limbs because of the weight of the snow .. just about an hour ago another huge limb came down … thankfully so far none have hit the house .. however I do have one big branch leaning of the roof above my bed .. it should be ok … a few hours ago I went out in my jammies, slippers (actually they’re waterproof and very very warm) and my hooded sweatshirt .. very wet snow was falling .. I brought out the broom to get the snow off of the branches I could reach but the trees are about 50 feet tall and well I only got a few of the lower branches … I just checked the trees again and the wet snow (still falling .. could get up to seven inches tonight) is piling up on the branches .. I anticipate more downed limbs tonight … there is one near where our sat dishes are attached to the front porch and there is a possibility that a big limb could come down on them tonight .. hopefully not but … so if you don’t hear from me tomorrow (I plan on taking a lot of photos to share) then you know the branch took our wifi out … I wasn’t able to check the trees overhanging the north side of the house (we live in a mobile home) and am hoping they’re ok … well I just thought I’d give everyone a heads up on what’s up around here tonite … if all goes well I’ll have photos to share tomorrow ... owlspook

  Over the year I have taken many images and one thing that learnt early on was not to take a picture from where everyone else would take it from, finding a different angle has become an obsession, I love to find a line of site that no one else will see unless they are as reckless as me. Climbing over rocks, getting into the river or sea, being on the last rock that you can get or just being there at a time when no one else will see that light is just magical. When others see the image, they may know where it is, but they don’t know how you got the image, “you must use a long lens to get that?” well, no, I’m using wide to standard lenses, I just to prefer to get close to the action, not close enough so the camera gets wet, but some times close enough so that i get wet just below the giggle band!, I just discovered some great walking shoe/aqua sandal, they are brilliant the brand is “Keen” just the ticket for wading through river, streams and across rocks in the ocean. I think the results speak for them selves, all the images shown a shoots were I got a little wet (and a lot wet!), love the new camera (Nikon D700) the eight frames a second come in handy with crashing wave thats gonna break were you are. Sorry, I missed the important bit, two years ago they told me that the found just a smidge of cancer in the bowel, had a big op, took an age to recover, things are great now and I have new lease of life and love every minuet of it, behind a long lens is not where its at, the viewer needs to be able to taste that wave, feel the spray on face and hear the crash of the waves on the rocks, thats being alive.

  blowing a gale here in Sydney. branches and trees down everywhere. grey, bleak windswept water on the bay. finished painting Forresters Beach yesterday and it looks beautiful. it’s very brown & simple compared to most of my work but i’m trying to loosen up and pare down. i had letters from people who’d bought my calendars for years, this year who told me how dissapointed they were that i had changed so much but i had to write back and tell them that some people need to change to grow & improve….as an artist if you never change, experiment and dabble in or challenge your self to try other ways of expressing yourslef, you will stagnate. I NEED to constantly evolve and feel like i’m pushing myself to feel good about my work. When in the past i’ve had to do the same ol’ same ‘ol thing day after day i get depressed, slow and hate what i’m doing. / Anyhow, i might lose fans along the way but at least i’m enjoying what i do. Damien (red bubble)said he’d like to see me go outside my boundaries, which i think i do do…but yesterday keeping that in mind when talking to a client I’ve agreed to do a series of vintage style posters about sports….rugby, cricket etc…..and I hate those sports…the sound (drone) of cricket, rugby, swimming, tennis…et al just puts me to sleep. I don’t mind particpating in sports but watching it for hours on end on TV is a mostly male thing which i’‘ve never quite “gotten”. So, there it is, i’ve accepted the challenge. This weekend i’ll try to upload some of my cycling imagery…which is again outside my boundaries and i’ve done well over 40 vintage and modern interpretations. The mod ones are pretty funny, make me pee myself anyway! I write down pages of funny stuff to do…but when i explain them to hubby or friends they all look at me in that raised eyebrow way (what have you been on?). / This morning went up to the inddor pool and swam which was really nice. The outddor pool has been requiring more & more bravery to just get in. So, accepted it was winter and yes, i can go to beautiful heated pool. This Sunday is the Soft Sand race on Manly which is going to test my bravery as well as crap weather is forecast and they’ve sent an email saying they’re building 4 big sand hills along the beach and you have to run up and over the hills each lap. Last year was only 2 and that was hard as the sand is really mushy. If it’s raining and cold as well…..sounds like fun, eh? What a ridiculous masochist i am. Think i’ll blame my friend Dave for this one. / Just have to beat him. Why do we do it? It’s for the big breakfast afterwards and i’ll have a REAL coffee….yeah!

  Hi all. Back from my weekend away dragonboating. Lousy weather did not dampen our willingness to try. Got two third placings and into the final but were glad to bow out then as the conditions were deteriorating. Had a great catch up with many other Dragonboat paddlers as well as Dragonsabreast members. / Team spirit was alive and well in Port Macquarie this long weekend. / Great way for women to prove cancer can’t beat them. / Now back to bubbling (nice and warm & dry).
