Hanging Out in the Hood

I didn't really get chance to get "out in the hood" this week - sick kids and terrible weather so I thought I would share a few taken in the last couple of months. It's quite nice outside today so if I can I will add a photo of our house later today.

I know Helen said no Kangaroos, but she didn't say anything about an Emu:

Or a Koala:

Oh and some Kangaroos for good measure!! (hehe sorry Helen!!)

It wouldn't be Australia without Australian Rules Footy:

Looking at the city of Melbourne from St Kilda:

The next two photos were taken at our local botanic gardens although not what you would call traditional botanic gardens.

I didn't think I was going to get an entry for this week's challenge but this afternoon I was laying out on the trampoline with Ella and I couldn't believe the colour of the sky so I got out the camera. These are straight off the camera have not be retouched in any way - the blue sky was amazing!!!

I know I am very late with these but I thought I would add them anyway!

No 1: Ella after crying on and off for 2 hours!

No 2: Ethan reading the Disney on Ice program

No 3: Ethan looking at his new test tube alien

No 4: Giant fruit basket at Scienceworks

For those of you who asked.....

what the first texture photo below was...... it was this artwork at our local botanic gardens.
