Boy's costumes.

Ruth made costumes for the boys based on Deltora and Beast Quest Characters for the book week free dress day tomorrow.

I think they all worked out pretty gosh darn well.

Last week...

So, Russell and I on our way home from China, then the following day X and I just before we graded for our yellow belts in a new martial art..... Better watch out everyone, I have a yellow belt.... I think there is something about being registered as a deadly weapon and all that sort of stuff I need to do.....

Evanescence and night time...

not necessarily a good mix.... but nonetheless I went for a little night walk with my camera and my iphone...

I think I could have made it worse if I used Snow Patrol.....
I will need to experiment with that....

The night has a very bright moon... so I thought I would go for a walk and experiment with the camera on some long exposures... I learnt a thing or two.

Other random China Shots

From last week - now that I have had a chance to look through them a little.....

 This was the construction of the biggest bridge i had ever seen... (and I made it red cause I thought it really should be some kind of propaganda poster!)

all very idyllic....

I was allowed to go in and photograph the kitchen of one of the places we frequented for lunch....

A snapshot of how the traffic works.....

cooking....

A gentleman from last night who was more than happy to show off his
flaming kitchen skills for me!!

a picture for you

proof that at least once during this trip, I picked up a tool....
no proof of course that I actually used one!
