29. big - this is the land of 'The Big'...just down the road (relatively) is The Big Pineapple, The Big Cow, and I just discovered today, The Big Snowman. Not quite sure how it wasn't melting in the 35deg heat!

28. vehicle - if I could make my own dream vehicle...it might look something like this...without the eyes of course!

27. tree - the illawarra flame trees are flaming, I mean blooming, around town at the moment. Aren't they stunning?

26. in the cupboard - we really need a bigger house, we have no room for bookshelves so they're shoved in the cupboard! :(

25. sky - the sky through the shade sails at a playground in Noosaville.

24. a sound you heard - noisy birds at the duck pond.

23. black - I bought this dress for my 30th birthday, 14 years ago!! It no longer fits but I still love it and cannot part with it.

21. what you wore - my peg apron, which I wear every day. I sling it over my shoulder instead of tying it around my waist.



20. work/play - when I work(out) on the treadmill, I always play music...LOUD!

20. work-play


19. something awesome - the moon in the day time is awesome (especially when you happen to capture a plane in the same shot!)



18. happened this weekend - storms were swirling all around us this weekend, but we missed most of them...which is good and bad because I do love a good storm!



17. the last thing you bought - I took this prompt as an excuse to go shopping and I bet I'm not the only one! I bought some fabric this morning for a new idea I'm hoping to add to my Made It store.



16. the view from your window - the view from my kitchen window, this is why I like washing the dishes!



15. in your bag - I'm teaching today so this is what is in my teacher bag...and yes I really am Mrs Smith.



14. man-made - made my man, inspired by God. Our beautiful church.



13. where you slept - in my cozy bed with my husband and our regular nightly visitor, Miss 5. I don't get much room...or sleep!



12. drink - there are only three things I drink every day...coffee, wine and water. I could probably give up coffee (with great difficulty), I could possibly give up wine (hmmm, maybe not), but I could never give up water.



11. night - I love the view from our front patio at night, especially in the rain. Taken last night.



10. can't {won't} live without - I won't live without books, and I can't live without glasses.



9. small - my hands are so small my wedding ring fits totally inside my husband's wedding ring...with room to spare!



8. something you do everyday - spray on a little perfume. I love perfumes and have quite a lot. This is my favourite at the moment.



7. reflection - another birthday present...Kylie's new record! I bought her first record 24 years ago!! And upon reflection, "I wouldn't change a thing". ;)


6. a favourite thing - my birthday present (that I'm using as a camera bag) is my new favourite thing!



5. 5 o'clock = wine o'clock for me! It's usually Shiraz but tonight it's a lovely White Shiraz...with blue cheese while I'm cooking dinner.



4. TV - the one and only in our house (I don't like tvs in bedrooms), it's used to watch TV, movies, play X-Box360 and Wii. This morning my 8 year old boy is playing his favourite game, TDU2.



3. breakfast - my favourite was to start the day, egg on toast.



2. colour - something Miss 5 loves to do...colour in!



1. something beginning with 'C' - Cute Cowgirl Cuddles...that's 3 'Cs'...do I win? ;)

Buderim Rainforest Walk

On the weekend we discovered another beautiful place for a walk and picnic.
Buderim State Forest and the Serenity Falls.

It was like a hidden jewel because we hadn't heard much about it, and while there we quite a few other people there, it wasn't crowded.
The walk was a quick, easy circuit over rocks, bridges and boardwalks.
And it was just gorgeous!
