A party for a one year old today. Waking from slumber to a room full of faces must be a little intimidating for a just turned one year old.
Toys and more toys everywhere leave him with plenty to play with, and parents wondering where they will put it all.
Along comes the birthday cake. Time to put on his party face!
A nice afternoon had by all. Thanks for having us over Bryn!
Whilst up in Albany to pick up some old chairs I managed to squeeze in a quick walk around some of the local bush area. A warm, still day, I took todays snap looking back down the river(/creek) when I came from. The water so still we had a reflection.
Shot on the Sony Nex and Sigma 30mm, giving me a ~50mm equivalent, I converted to B&W in Gimp and a slight brown colour tone.
