Learning Photography

I am trying to get learn how to learn how take better photos. Not easy to do when all we have is a Nokia Phone. But considering that it is a mobile phone, I think it takes pretty good photos. From what I  have read if you know basic photography rules then it shouldn't really matter what type of camera you have. So I have been trying to put some of those rules into play and trying to be aware of the lighting, out side seems to be the best, of course.

There are some really cool things around the yard to take photos of. This is one of about pavers

The kids were really excited to find these rocks around the yard. I can't believe who ever lived here before us didn't take them with them.

We think that this is Rose Quartz

Not sure what this is.

Trying to be arty with pegs.

I was so happy when we moved in here that there was lots of trees. I think it just adds such a calming effect and I find the kids tend to play in the yard a lot more now. 

There is a wonderful hibiscus bush.

My dad would love to take this stage horn home.

We just found this Fig tree in the yard. James is going to plant it in the ground.

Would you believe that this is a Passion Fruit Tree gone wild. It has gone through out the different trees in the yard.

This orange tree is over the fence but that doesn't stop the kids from picking them.

Matthew is in heaven climbing in the Guava tree. We call him our monkey. He was climbing 6 ft fences when he was 18 months old. 

There was this vegie patch with a tomatoe plant. We were so happy. Now we have to start planting some vegies due to being Spring. The kids are really keen due to doing gardening at school.

Love this fern.

The parrots love this tree. Jessica gets so excited seeing them in there.

Last but not least this is my favourite tree - Bowen Mango. I love Mangoes. Can't wait till Christmas time when we should get heaps this year.
