their costumes really appeal.
Also with a Tintype look
There are so many layers in this picture. I won't say how long it took !

Yesterday and Today
Much of my time was spent yesterday making new banners for my web site. Thought it is time to give it a much needed spring clean.
Here is a sample of one of the ten banners I made.
The apple blossom doesn't stay around for long. A carpet of petals delicately cover
the grass in the garden it looks so pretty.
I took the next few shots with my iPhone.
At the Craft Fair this week I was taken by some beautiful seeds which were part of a display placed on a wooden bowl. I was told they came from Australia but don't know what they are called wondered if you know ?
I just love their colour form and textures.

The Bush Heritage Railway Shoot
I had a fantastic day out with the Focus Photography Group Auckland.
We went to the Heritage Railway site near Huntly to the Bush Tramway Club
which has been lovingly restored to working order. It was used to service the regions
coalmines from 1915 to 1971.
Here are two of my seven hundred and thirty eight shots ! So there will be more to come.

Howick Historic Village
http://www.fencible.org.nz/events/live-days/
I really enjoy going to the Historic Village live days where the volunteers dress up
in costume and are pleased for you to photograph them.
Having just shot a series of these pictures there I will gradually post them up for you.
Have you ever used bellows to start a fire like this or wondered what it would be like to be a scullery maid ?
They were often girls of 13 or 14 who did this work maybe until they were married
They worked under the mercy of their Master.
Part of a scullery maid's job description was to light the fires and the stoves, provide hot water, scrub the floors but never allowed to touch any china or glass.
This sure makes us grateful that we don't have to do some of these chores today but it is fun to go back in time for a short glimpse.
