King of Queens


This is actually an old photo - but i really like it!!

Brandon and I were dressed up by my family on our one year anniversary!!

We had a fantastic evening as we got treated to prawns for dinner along with a whole lot of gifts and yummy food and we danced the night away!!

Birds, Birds, Birds

These are a few of the cards i did for the BIRDS ATC Tracde
This is an Emporer Pinguin
I was inspired by Pepper to draw this Parakeet
- this is a male however with the colouring or ring around it's neck.
And this one was the first one that i drew and i just really enjoyed it and the colours are incredible.

Port Elizabeth

I work for the South African Dental Association and had to attend their annual congress this year.

The congress was located at two venue's - the one being Port Elizabeth - I had never been there before and was able to get away from work for an hour or so and took these snap shots of the sea and view there.

There are so many shells and pebbles, it's really a pretty beach, and the waves are so calm (compared to Durban). Would love to go back some day and have a proper holiday there.

PePPeR



My sister found this oh-so-cute parakeet, who we have recently named Pepper!!

Claudia named her pepper, because not only is she as green as a peppermint, but she is as firey and hot tempered as her beak and pepper itself!!

I love her to bits!!!

Here is a pic of her peaking at me from behind the camera - the 'stuff' on her cage is peanut butter - she LOVES that!!

We have allot of training to do, but she is really friendly to me (well most of the time anyway - apparently they only bite or attack if they are scared).

Here is another pic of me petting her - which she also adores and makes this 'squeak squeak squeak' noise as i'm doing it :) SOOOO CUTE MAN!!! She loves coming out the cage and infact we have to peg the doors closed because she is so clever that she knows how to open the doors of her cage - we don't want her to get out if we are not around because our doggies are not used to her yet and if anything happened her I would just die!!


CyCLiNg - A NeW AdVeNtUrE!

Yesterday I bought myself a mountain bike - a really stunning bike if I do say so myself.
Brandon already cycles and has a racer (or a road bike) - so I have been wanting to get fit and healthy for a while and this was the perfect answer - plus him and I can spend time together....
Which we really did - we had such a fantastic time - I did 5km for my first time (tired as hell and my bum hates me!!!) but so worth it!!

I was so excited to ride the bike that i didn't remember to take pics yesterday - but we'll be cycling again tomorrow and i'll try and take few and put them up :)

Brandon is cycling the Soweto race this weekend and the 94.7 cycle challenge in November - he wants me to do it with him, but 95km is slightly more than just 5km - i have ALLOT of training to do - LOL!!
