Springtime!

Hello Spring!
I photographed these pretty springtime blossoms today, while walking through the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. I thought they looked so pretty blooming against a brilliant blue sky!
Whatever the weather where you are in the world, I hope your having a Wonderful Weekend, Cheers Kris :)

Paris je t'aime: desktop calendar May 2010

... looking towards the Grand Palais Paris, France.
Can you believe it's almost the first of May?
To celebrate I've made another photo calendar for my desktop.
... Please feel free to use this image on your desktop if you would like to :)
I took this image, on a lovely hot summers day in Paris ... from a beautiful bridge that crosses over the Seine River.
Looking ahead I could see the amazing Grand Palais (my destination :) 
and looking behind, I caught a distant view of the Tour Eiffel, while below a plethora of tourist boats made their way up and down the Seine River.
(I won't tell you how long I stood there admiring the view: waiting for the boats to clear, so I could get the shot below - lol - the things we do :)
... Ahhh .... Paris, je t'aime! 
Wishing you all a: Wonderfully Marvelous May :)

The first of the month

As it's the 1st March, I've just made a new photo calendar for my desktop ...

Please feel free to use this image on your desktop if you would like to :)

I photographed these cute little locals by the Broadwater, near Main Beach, on the Gold Coast, Australia.

If dragonflies are more your style check out the March Desktop Calendar available online from the National Trust, or why not make your own using a family picture etc ...

Wishing everyone a Marvelous March...

P.S - Have you ever said or heard: "pinch and a punch for the first of the month?"

According to wiktionary the origin of this saying is as follows:

"Originating from old England times when people thought that witches existed. People thought that salt would make a witch weak, so the pinch part is pinching of the salt, and the punch part was to banish the witch. The witch would be weak from the salt so the punch was to banish her."

The Place Des Vosges, is the oldest planned square in Paris, located in the beautiful Marais district. The park at the centre of the Place, provides a wonderful place to relax, right in the heart of Paris.Easily one of my favourite places in Paris, and well worth a visit if your lucky enough to be in the neighbourhood :)

This little guy flew over to pose - soon after the baguettes from our picnic basket appeared :)

One of my favourite shops in Paris, about a 10 min stroll from the Place Des Vosges, is -  Calligrane  - (located at 6 Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe 75004 Paris France :01 48 04 09 00) a wonderful shop for anyone with a passion for paper and stationery. 


Thank-you to everyone who has inspired and supported me throughout the years. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and a Wonderful 2010.
