Winter!

It is FINALLY here! It may not be here for long, however it IS HERE and I am LOVING it! I have even turned off 1 air conditioner in the house! I love being able to wear a T-Shirt and not feel sweat running down my face, back, legs. THAT is a most unpleasant feeling that I experience often- too often. I cannot believe that I live in one of the hottest places in Australia, when I feel the heat so terribly.

I have been busy trying to 'brand' Country Pix Photography. This means coming up with a good watermark, and website banner etc etc. I find this really difficult. REALLY DIFFICULT! I am doing an E-Course on blog and website design and how to incorporate them into the one site. I really like the idea of that! I thought I was being clever at the start of the year when I bought my domain name, by doing a website on the 'cheap'. Well, that has proven to be such a nightmare that I relented and contacted a friend of mine and he is 'fixing' it all for me. My domain name will easily 'point' to my website and he is going to help me rebuild my site. This means I can EASILY have a blog tab. Sounds great, however I have to BRAND myself first and that is the difficult part. I don't want to be too limiting with the images that I highlight, however I have to be real and accept that most of my images are landscapes. The name of my business is limiting enough, without being limited by the majority of images I "get to" take. I would love to do some weddings, birthday parties and other events but my location restricts me somewhat.

I will share some of my banner designs at a later date, when I have a couple that I can say that I like and that I would be happy to showcase. For now- just know I am working on something special (hopefully).

We've been busy here- as usual. We preg tested 1623 cows in two days last week! The build up and aftermath have been just as busy as those two days- except I don't have the vet and two other day workers to feed! I picked up my camera for the first time in a week yesterday when a friend and her daughter visited yesterday. Meet Lillie-Mae Ruby

I ordered my costume for my birthday party today! I am going as the Queen of Hearts! I have ordered the dress, a wig, a crown, special stockings AND I am on back order for some special shoes
