Bright lights and beautiful babies!



Home from a wonderful week in Sydney for the arrival of our second grandchild.. mother and baby both well! Very much enjoyed spending quality time with my delightful two year old granddaughter who below, getting used to the idea that her eagerly awaited baby brother is now actually here, is going to be the best ever big sister! 


A much less spectacular event :) was also occurring while I was there, the annual light show 'Vivid'..
this year celebrating the spirituality and culture of Australian Indigenous art. Unlike the man on the steps above left in the first shot I wasn't, as usual, prepared with a tripod.. I did the best I could, hope you enjoy..


Personally the Opera House has always been second best to the Sydney Harbour Bridge but even I have to admit for this event the Opera House was the star.. nevertheless, I did take a few shots of my very favourite bridge, show you tomorrow as I think I may have already exceeded my limit of shots :) Looking forward to catching up today and seeing what you've been up to while I've been away, happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe...

  1. What an adorable baby! Congratulations!

    I saw shots on Jim's blog earlier of the Opera House- you caught at least one segment in common with him, but from a different angle.

  10. What wonderful news. Congratulations. You Vivid photos are terrific. I bet when Utzon designed the Opera House, he did not imagine it could be put to this purpose.

  16. Gorgeous children and not a bit of jealousy from big sister.

    I thought that was the opera house at first glance. That's spectacular and wildly inventive. Wish I could have been there to shoot it but you did very well. Taken with the Olympus?
