Moments with Max....

Hi everyone, it's been awhile, so I thought it was about time I let you know what has been going on here at home.

Firstly, I would like to say "Thank you" to all of you who have commented on my cute photo on the header of our Blog. It was taken a few days after I first arrived here at my new home, Dad had decided to roll up some newspaper for me to play with, and I had a great time tearing it apart, I think Mum did a great  job capturing me at the right moment.

Things over the past few weeks have been a bit different, with my routine changing because Mum sprained her ankle while we were out walking. She is getting better, but I can't go for walks at the moment,  so we have lots of play time before she goes to work and when she gets home.

One of my favourite things to do is to play with this amazing squeaky toy that I have, it makes the best noise ever, it just squeaks and squeaks and drives everyone crazy. After a few minutes of playing with the squeaky I like to 'chill' and relax....

Have a great rest of the week everyone  Max   xx

Shadow Shot Sunday..

It is now officially Autumn here 'down-under', it is definitely a little cooler and darker in the mornings, I love Autumn and look forward to posting some gold/red shadows when Autumn starts to show it's beauty..
In the meantime, I found this leaf in the lane outside the Physiotherapists this week... I sprained my ankle a few weeks ago and am having treatment, poor Max no early morning walks for him for at least another two weeks..  :(

Time Traveller...

So, this morning, after I left a comment about Time Travelling on a friends Facebook page,  I got to thinking about who I would like to meet if I was a Time Traveller....

 Would I only choose to meet happy people,who lived in far away places, with a romantic feel, with warm weather and where there would be  no pain and suffering? Not possible, I decided, because pain and suffering is all part of life.

Of course I could have a hugely long list, but I have chosen a few.

MICHELANGELO - The Sistine Chapel Ceiling: Michelangelo was a sculptor, and had to learn how to paint in the technique required to paint the Sistine Chapel Ceiling. Although he had many assistants to help him, he did the bulk of the work himself, taking  over four years to paint the over 5,000 feet of frescoes and 300 painted figures. I can't imagine what damage he would have done to his body, and how his back and arms must have ached. I would love to have just been there, looking up watching all that amazing work being done, and being part of that atmosphere with all the noise and smell of paint and plaster.  I'm sure there was a lot of yelling coming from the Master as he worked on the ceiling.

MAHATMA GHANDI - 1869 - 1948   He played an integral part in India gaining independence from Britain. He was a believer in passive resistance, believing that acts of violence only provoked negative reaction.  What would it have been like, travelling around India in the 1940's, watching him as he talked to the people,  with all the hardship he would have endured , being imprisoned for his beliefs,
A great and humble man..

AMELIA EARHART - 1897 - 1937   The first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic in 1928 and the first person to have flown both oceans. In 1937 she mysteriously disappeared while trying to circumnavigate the globe from the equator.
What an amazing person to be around, she was passionate about flying and about women being able to do anything. An inspiration.

Famous Quote:    The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune......  Amelia Earhart


An Artist, a Humanitarian and an Adventurer......
Who would you choose to go back in time and meet if you were a Time Traveller?

Friday Fences #23

 Not so much a fence, but a gate, found on a recent walk....

 I love the wood and the interesting metal handle, it looks like a piece of farm equipment.

 Go to the link below to see what the other fences from around the world.
