Ruby Tuesday

Here's my Ruby Tuesday post. Picture was taken two years ago during our visit to Luna Park which is located in Milsons Point, just under the northern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is easily accessible by train, bus, ferry and car. This is my son in red shirt with a black baseball cap enjoying one of the rides. He was too busy that he didn't have time to look at the camera.

When David was in the party

David was invited to a friend's birthday party which was held in Sydney Olympic Golf Course, about 30 minutes drive from where we live last Sunday. It was his first time to attend a party there.They were in the mini golf course playing golf. Even if the weather wasn't on their side for it was cloudy with on and off showers, it didn't stop them to have fun. David was enjoying really well until he was hit by a golf ball on his chin by accident. He was crying and one of the ladies who organized the party took him to me right away. I was in the other side of the restaurant enjoying coffee, fruits and potato wedges with all the parents of the kids. He said he hit himself on the chin and it hurt that he could not stand to continue playing. The lady gave us an ice pack to apply to the affected area. It didn't show any bruise, blood or swollen at all so I thought it wasn't something bad to worry about. I let him stayed with me and after awhile, he decided to go back to the party venue to join in some of the games . They were about to start a game when I took David there and he was gladly welcomed back . It was such a great party despite of David's little accident, lots of yummy food and fun for them. I wasn't able to take photos for I forgot my camera again. I just remembered it when we were half way to our destination.

Today's flowers

This is my gardenia, one of my favourite flowers in my garden. I like gardenia because of their awesome scent. I have two gardenia plants growing in my garden and both are in bloom.

Have a great week!

Camera Critters

Here is my Camera Critters post. Pictures were taken at Taronga Zoo during our visit sometime last October of this year. These koalas were sound asleep during our visit.We didn't get the chance seeing them wide awake, munching leaves, climbing and all sort of things that a koala does . Looking at the first picture below, can you tell what really makes it so special and sweet? Well, if you look at more closely you can see that this is a koala mother cuddling a joey in her sleep.I find this picture below so cute too with the koala's arm hanging down while sleeping and looking lifeless, though.Interested to join or want to see more Critters from all around the world please click, here.

Our mulberry tree

We have a big white mulberry tree at the backyard. I am not sure how old it is but it has been there since we bought the house last 1997. It never failed to give us fruits every year since we moved here but we've never used the fruits. However, lot of birds come to visit the tree when its in season including some fruit bats at night time. Most of its fruits just drop off and claimed by the ground. When my kids used to raise silkworms, we didn't have trouble looking for food. The silkworms can eat as many leaves as they could stomach as the tree has plenty of leaves that can even feed a whole army of silkworm.
I like the tree in summer time for it gives shade in our backyard that even during hot days we can still stay outside under its shade while on Autumn time the leaves turn to yellow and drop off to the ground. I don't mind cleaning up my yard with thousands of mulberry leaves. I just use a blower vacuum to suck and at the same time munch the leaves ready for composting. That way, it saves my pocket from buying fertilizer. Although it takes time to compost them but it's worth the wait.
Here are some of its frequent visitors but I am not exactly sure what birds they are.

Sky Watch Friday

Yesterday's sunset.

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.-- Harold B. Melchart

Have a good weekend!

Farewell Party dress

My daughter's farewell party is coming up soon and just to get ready with everything she needed for the party, I took her to the mall last Saturday to buy her a new dress and a pair of shoes. It took us longer before we decided what to get for there were many to choose from mostly on sale price. The party doesn't require an expensive dress but at least presentable for the night. I ended up buying a dress that she likes best. I am glad that the smallest size fits her perfectly and no alteration needed.

Watery Wednesday

This photo was taken two years ago in Featherdale Wildlife Park, 45 minutes from the centre of Sydney and about 10 minutes drive from where we live. I am not sure what kind of storks are these. I failed to check it out during our visit because I was busy chasing the kids. :)
Happy Watery Wednesday.

Fresh Fruit Salad

This was the other weekend when the weather was a bit warm and we craved for something refreshing so the idea of making fresh fruit salad popped into my mind. Since, I had enough fruits in the fruit bowl to be used for that day, I didn't bother to go out and get more fruits. When it comes to fruit salad we prefer it to be simple, fresh and crunchy. My kids love it especially if most of the ingredients are their favourite fruits. I love the addition of fresh mint leaves though but since the kids don't like it, I have to separate a bowl with fresh mint leaves on it for me. With the help of Dorothy we made our fresh fruit salad in no time. (Ingredients: banana, apple, orange and watermelon)

This is my white gladiola.
