Hi All,

hmm... it's been a while since I was on here. I thought after my Master's was finished I'd be back into photography and updating here a lot. Sadly I was wrong. Instead I've been flat chat busy and hardly taken a photo in the last year.

After finishing I ended up with not 1, not 2, but 3 jobs I was working. Then as if my life wasn't insane enough I decided to do my PhD. At one point I was working the equivalent of 3 full time jobs. Yes, I know, completely nuts.

Anyway I am now down to 2 part-time jobs plus the PhD studies. I occasionally get to sleep now but it still doesn't give me much time for the photography.

In a way it is nice to take a break but I'm starting to miss it. Must fit in some time to relax, take a wander and snap a few pics.

I hope you all out there are keeping creative and producing fab works.
Cheers, Rosiescape

Hi All,

well I finished my Master's degree two months ago. It is a big relief except now I'm applying to do my PhD.

I was a little worried I'd end up over-educated and unemployed when I finished my Master's. Instead I find myself overworked. I now have three jobs that are keeping me on my toes. Unfortunately this still doesn't leave a lot of time free for photography. However, my weekends are now sometimes free. I've done a couple of trips out taking photos just recently but still trying to find time to upload the photos to my computer and check them out (yes, I know, blasphemy). I'm hoping to add some photos to my gallery soon.

I hope you all are well. I still get a chance to look in on all the great work everyone else is doing. It makes me jealous.

Cheers, Rosemary

Hi All,

well my studies are still taking up most of my time. I will be glad when they are over and I can do normal things again (like taking photos).

I have managed to get out and take a couple of photos lately. There has been a nesting pair of Tawny Frogmouth owls in my neighbourhood. These birds blend in to the trees very well so spotting them in the first place is very difficult. Recently the fledglings left the nest and we couldn't locate them for a few days. When they leave the nest they stay on the ground for a couple of days until their wings strengthen more. Then we found the whole family again in nearby trees. It's been great following their development.

The other wonderful thing about them is they generally stay low in trees which gives you a chance of getting some good photos, as I've added to the gallery recently.

Hope you are all well. I still check in periodically and see all the submissions from the people I watch and the clubs I support. It seems like everybody is taking fab photos all the time. Keep up the good work.

Cheers.

Hi Everyone,

thanks to everybody who keeps watching me, gives me a fav or comments. It is great to see. I'm back in Australia now, finished with living in China for th moment.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. No new photos have been added to the gallery for a couple of months.

Earlier this year I started my Master's degree. The work load has been pretty intense. While I've had a chance to get out now and then to take some photos, I haven't had any chance to polish some work and submit to the gallery.

I have really missed it. I'd started doing ok in a few competitions on the site and finally got my pageviews over 1,000 (yippee).

The good news is I should be finished in February (part of why I'm so busy, I've accelerated the program).  So hopefully will be participating a bit more then, though I hope to add something still every now and then.

To all my friends, I'm still watching your work. I check in for a few minutes each morning and look at the submissions. It makes me jealous, all the great photos everyone is taking.

Cheers to you all and keep up the great work.
I'll talk more in February (and sleep more).
Love,
Rosiescape
