Symbio Wildlife Park

After buying a cheap Cudo deal for $9 entry to Symbio Wildlife Gardens Alanna and I took our cameras and spent the afternoon wondering around feeding and taking photos of some wildlife.
Despite the weather being freezing, we had a great afternoon (although for me its hard not enjoy myself when taking photos of animals! )

Albino Peacock - this little guy was really shy so was hard to get a decent photo!
The one on the right was my favourite! He/she loved attention and had beautiful long eyelashes
This thing tried to attack me when I went to give him some food :(
This photo I actually took on my iPhone, turned out really well mostly because he is so cute :)
For some of these photos I used free curves downloded from the following websites/blogs.

Something Sweet

I made this for my friend for her birthday. I just put it in a plain chocolate brown wooden frame from Ikea and it looked quiet cute. Jess liked it to so that's the main thing!

I downloaded the jar from www.angiemakes.com. Angie has such beautiful vectors available for download at very affordable prices, she also has some freebies too (like this jar). This website was originally where I got the idea from as she has vectors for download of pretty flowers in jars but I wanted to try make my own. My flowers aren't to fancy cause I'm not good at drawing on illustrator but I will get there....one day!
