Playing around in the dark with my little phone torch!

I like these pictures taken in my lounge in the dark.. Camera on about 5 seconds shutter speed while shining my torch over the subject.. would like to get into a bit more of this..
The green is the faceplate of my phone torch as I wave it around...
... You have to love little Bella's painting she did for me for my Christmas present.. even if I am the Christmas Grinch!! :-)

Cat-A-Pilla

Took this a few weeks ago. I have a swan plant and had quite a few of these on it and then spining their cocoons and hatching... as of late my smaller catapillas have gone missing.. I think the praying mantis is back!!!... will have to hunt him down and take a photo before I move it along! :-).. I have seen them eat the 'pillas before on the plants.

Hydroplane Boats back in Tauranga

Was a great weekend..

Took some pictures of the hydroplane boats racing in Tauranga.. Some photos of some art work for a friend for a catalog as well. Enjoy taking on a challange.

Went to my first ceroc dance party!.. hhmmm I now know what other people feel like when they come to tango as I was out of my depth a bit! :-)..and a real newbie! Such a different dance than salsa and Tango but great fun..

Swiming at Pilot Bay at the Mount on Sunday.. I had a few days off work this week so back into it again on Monday...

Argentine Tango Tauranga Free Lessons

Started again this year giving basic Argentine Tango free lessons at the Merhaba Restaurant on the Strand in Tauranga.
A fantastic group of people come along each week to Monday night tango at 7pm. We all get along great.. have plenty of fun dancing.. to me that's what it's all about, having lots of fun and meeting and dancing and introducing tango to others that come along.

Going to have to bring my camera along one day soon for some photos!
Early in this blog there is a photo! but must get some soon!

Yet another view of the Mount through 'PhotoShop' eyes!

Have'nt really taken too many photos the last couple of weeks so have just been playing a bit in PhotoShop. Went back to work after the Christmas break on Jan 5th .. hope to get away again camping in the next month. Spent some time at the beach today lying in the sun and reading and plan to be back again on Sunday if it does't rain ..

One more!

Well... your'e either going to like this one or not!

I really like it.. but then I am a little warped myself! :-)

Pilot Bay Mount
