Life under a Pepper Tree

Today's topic for the February Photo a Day challenge is "Reflection". This topic is kinda timely for me today.  My hubby and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary today.  Not only did I reflect on all the fun and crazy times we've had in the past 5 years, but the full 14 years we've been together.  Gosh that sounds like a long time when I'm just such a spring chicken!! So here I am. Here is my reflection, and happily married for 5 years today! I'm sad to say that this is the end of my Photo a Day challenge. I've seen the March prompts and they look like fun, but I'm tired of taking such crappy shots. So maybe once I've got my flashy new camera then I'll consider trying this again another month. Goodbye summer! Bel 

Today's topic for the February Photo a Day challenge is "My view today". I'm a lucky girl today! Hubby had a half day at work and came home to take Dylan and I out to lunch.   Dylan was super well behaved and we enjoyed the water views over a nice glass of wine. And I forgot my camera!! So no pics of that view. So we came home and I was sitting on the grass in the backyard playing with Dylan. He runs around like usual and I just have a little lie down... Yes, it's upside down cos I took the photo over my head whilst lying down looking to make sure Dylan hadn't run away! One more day of February, one more day of summer, one more photo to go! Bel

Today's topic for the February Photo a Day challenge is "Light". I tried taking a few pics in the morning when it was bright and sunny, but they all turned out a bit rubbish.  Late this afternoon before it started raining I got only 2 shots in before my camera battery died. By the time it was recharged I was off to my boxing/aerobics class, and it was nightfall by the time I got home. So I kept my fingers crossed that one of my shots was ok. Kinda dramatic sky don't you think? Bel

Today's topic for the February Photo a Day challenge is 'cut'. I know I need a haircut, but I know I'm not THAT desperate!  I did a clean out of my wardrobe on the weekend, specifically my shoes. I chucked maybe 4 or 5 pairs of shoes. Some worn out, some just plain uncomfortable, others, just ugly!  So ever since then I've been thinking of filling the wardrobe void with some lovely new shoes.  I had a brief look in a few stores yesterday on my lunch break, but nothing jumped out at me sadly.  I know if I found the perfect pair/s I wouldn't be able to hold back. So maybe this is what I should do... Bel

Today's topic for the February Photo a Day challenge is "Half". So here is "half" of my car - the half with the motor! Bel

Today's topic for the February Photo a Day challenge is "This is where I relax". No time to relax today. We had a big day out yesterday so today is filled with all the weekend chores of washing, cleaning and keeping up with the weeks ironing. I decided I don't have a "where" I relax, as such.  Whilst Dylan was napping I decided to do the ironing. No chance of turning the stereo on as that would be a napping disaster. So in go the earphones... Ahhh.. this is where I relax... Bel

Week 8 A few weeks ago I noticed a few little dents and bite marks appearing on the cot railing. In the few days it took for one of us to get to the baby store and buy one of the teething protectors for the cot, Dylan had taken the paint off in a few places. This morning as I put him down for his nap he tried to get straight back in and have another go at it! A photo of my son, once a week, every week in 2014 Sweet tired eyes, and teddy blanket in hand. Love you little man! Joining in with Jodi and Project 52 . Bel
