Happy First Birthday Indiana Jones

I am thoroughly enjoying having my pet photography studio set-up and ready to use whenever I want. This is definitely the only type of ‘cake smash; session I will ever do (and with a special dog-safe cake). It’s hard to believe this beautiful boy is one year old already, he …

A big change with a new toy

As much as I have loved my Canon 5DIV camera, it was well and truly time for an upgrade. I am definitely not an early adopter of new technology so going mirrorless has not really been on my radar until now, but it didn’t make sense to spend the $ …

Today we had the most incredible storm pass over us, the clouds were forming so rapidly above us and were so dark that it looked like we were headed for a massive storm, but most of it moved east of us as usual.

Sunrise, sunshine, horses and chickens

There is no better way to start the day than watching the sunrise at 5.51 in the morning! But it was certainly warmer later in the day!  We’ve got a lot more cape weed growing this year, as well as more clover, rye and barley grass.  In the second paddock …
