Why We're Here on Earth

Autumn afternoons....

The weather has been absolutely DIVINE here this week - blue skies, the slightest breeze & sun just warm enough to penetrate through to the bones without burning the skin.  Hubby's had a few days off work after the Easter break, so he suggested this afternoon that we should go for a drive somewhere to make the most of it.

Playing with garden critters

Multilevel construction

Admiring ones own work

Facepaint from the Taste of the Huon

Practising her melodramatic 'death scene' (soooo need to get her into drama classes again!)

Sprouting avocado seeds

I can sing a rainbow......

And speaking of Easter rainbows.....

What has been even more awesome are the rainbows we've discovered in our house since I moved Jasmine's fish tank from her bedroom to the loungeroom.  Hello lesson on refraction ;)
