The year in photographs - day 93


Mocha having a bath - here she's waiting for the blowdrying portion of the treatment... not that she's spoiled or anything. :)

The year in photographs - day 92



I spotted this print of one of my favourite paintings today... what do you think the chances are that I'll ever be able to afford the original? I've actually seen Mr Van Gogh's original at the MOMA in New York - breathtaking.

The year in photographers - day 89



The fun with wildlife segment of this year in photographs continues with today's guest star - a lizard I found in the backyard... he was huge! Not so bad as the snakes though, this guy was interesting rather than scary, and a huge hit with the dogs - Mocha and Bailey couldn't get enough of slowly edging their way up to the drain where this guy was curled up, looking over to see if he was still there, and then barking like crazy. Fun for all!

The year in photographs - day 88


Martyn and Mocha having a 'chat' about the rights and wrongs of begging at the dinner table (apparently a refresher was required for them both!)

The year in photographs - day 87



Took a lovely stroll along the Hallett Cove boardwalk with my friend Robert today - I love how close everything is here in South Australia! Just a few minutes from home one way and you're at the beach, a few minutes the other way and you're in the countryside... not a bad way to pass the time hmm?

The year in photographs - day 85



We decided to do a test run on setting up the tent (aka the 'Taj Mahal')... it went surprisingly well for such a large tent... bring on nature!!

The year in photographs - Day 84



What does any good Australian male do with four days off? Fire up the barby! Not quite sure about the apron though...

The year in photographs - day 83


Okay, so I realise it looks a bit like Martyn's somehow sucking out Mocha's brain, but I promise, they're just having a cuddle :)

The year in photographs - day 82



Day 5 of the mascots - so it's now becoming a bit of an addiction, looking around my house for little figurines I consider 'mascots'. I picked up this one in Vietnam - her name is Aiko, and she watches over my books. I'm guessing she's hiding a samuri sword somewhere in there which can be whipped out at a moment's notice if anyone ever comes a'stealing...

The year in photographs - day 81




It's rare the two of them settle down together like this so I'm always quick with the camera if I spot it happening! Course, it'd be nice if the orientation of the photo would work, but I guess you can't have everything :)

The year in photographs - day 80

Another lovely 'PhD crowd' lunch get together at uni. This time we decided to go pot luck, so I got to sample some fantastic dishes - if anyone knows how to make a vegetarian lasagna like the one I had today, let me know! Yum! Sadly, the 'hey, look at me' photography approach didn't always work - managed to get some candid shots, but also a lot of closed eyes... Ah well!

Day 4 of the mascots - this little horse comes courtesy of our insurance company Mutual Community (not sure what plastic horses have to do with insurance, but it is cute...) My favourite part? The florescent green colour... very natural :)

The year in photographs - day 78



Tracey and Milla scoping out one of the many tents we considered for our upcoming camping trip. We ended up going with a nine-person, three room tent that we've nicknamed 'The Taj Mahal' - not unreasonable for three people is it? :) Also fantastic - I can stand up in the tent we chose!

Caught up with my friend Naomi tonight and her beautiful children - Lachlan, Zach, Cassandra and Liesel. I can't believe she has four kids now - such a lovely family :)
