30 Day Photography Challenge-Day 4 Something Green

Before I continue on to my photography challenge I would like to say something....

A deadly combination of drought, on-going conflict and escalating food prices has placed over 11 million people in need of life-saving aid in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia. Over two million children are malnourished. Please help UNICEF Australia by making a donation online (www.unicef.org.au/eastafrica). You can also share our message to help us spread the word.

I implore you to help, donate as little as $40 and it can provide a child with one month's supply of Plumpy'Nut, a vitamin-rich peanut paste that has been specially developed to treat acutely malnourished children.

$70 can provide 1000 sachets of Oral Rehydration Salts to help children combat dehydration.

These children need help.
Our help.
Can you go without a new piece of clothing, or a meal out to help save a life?

If you would like to read more and donate please visit HERE.

Thank you!!

Ok now to bounce back from such sadness and back to my photography challenge.
Today it is something green...
Green plants outside...




(blogger is doing that funny thing again where it rotates my images and won't let me put them up the right way)

But my favourite green things are these....

30 Day Photography Challenge-Day 3 Clouds

This morning was a little hectic....
I was running around making both kids breakfast, changing nappies and feeding the little one.
I looked outside and saw these dark clouds lingering...



I snapped this quick out of focus photo seconds before the clouds above my head opened up and let loose a torrent of water.

So I went about my day, washing clothes, dishes, vacuuming and when the sun began to shine I scrubbed dirty couch cushions, dining chairs and toddler seat. I hung out washing, I brought it in.
All while wrangling two attention hungry children.



What a beautiful afternoon it turned out to be!

Though I can still see some darkness hiding...

30 Day Photography Challenge-Day 2 What You Wore Today

Taking a photo can be challenging.
Taking a photo with a 2yr old in the house is even more challenging.
She spots me, the camera.
She follows....
I attempt to strike a pose on the bed...



Hello little blur of my child!
Ok, we'll try again...



She is suddenly overcome with the urge to climb all over me....



So I trap her with my legs, she cries out for help...
"I'm stuuuuck!!"



I unleash her from her leggy prison and she flops down beside me, looks up at the camera and says "Cheeeeeeese"!!
She holds the pose, draws the "cheese" out and waits for the click of the camera...
Oh I see now, she wants her photo taken...



She hears the distant music coming from the loungeroom.....



So what else do we do but have a little dance?

After all that fun I did manage to get a photo.
It isn't the best to really show my outfit, but at this stage I was happy to accept anything so I could put the camera down and go boogie with my girl.



What I wore today.
Yoga pants (can you get any more comfortable?).
Red top, gathered detail at the bust.
Grey stripe cardigan.
