On 29th October, Rick and I welcomed our second child, Claire Elise Robinson.  She is every bit as sweet as she appears in this photo, taken in the hospital when she was just one day old.





I found this poor little fellow on my dining room floor this morning.  He was alive, but only just.  I feel oddly sad when I think that my camera and I witnessed his final moments.  I’m sure he was taking us in with those enormous eyes of his.

I shot this with a set of extension tubes and a studio light that I borrowed from my Dad.


This female Superb Fairy-wren was enjoying the birdbath at Mum and Dad’s this afternoon.  I had hopes of capturing the spectacular blue male, but it wasn’t to be.
