We dropped the boys at school and headed down to Mandurah to pay some of the kids swing set layby and pick up a set of headphones for the car. Just as we were leaving there was an awesome rainbow and we could see both ends. As it developed we were able to see the whole thing. I only had my Lumix with me, better than nothing, so I jumped out and snapped away. So this complete rainbow, complete with the start of a second rainbow to the right of it, is my PAD for today!!!
We came back from Mandurah and MrJ went to pick up his new lawnmower from Bunnings. Then it was down to the main task of the day - printing, mounting and sending my photos into the Perth Show.
I had been to Photocoffee a few weeks ago, but I left my run a bit short for getting it done. The entries have to be in by 5pm on Weds 21st. The owner and a few of his employees are away until the 21st, so the young guy who has been left in charge was great and helped me out. We were there for 3 hours!!! After that I had to go to a picture framers to get 3 of the prints mounted and matted because there were of irregular size.
After killing an hour waiting for the prints to be finished we headed to the Post Office. Here I had to make sure the print were secure in their mounts, label them all, fill out the paper work and package them up securely. We were using one of the tables and I had the photos in a pile next to me and the table on the floor. Some drongo decided that addressing is envelope was so important that he was going to help himself to a corner of the desk and moved some stuff to be able to do it. Just as he started doing it I looked down to see he had put his great clodhopper on my pictures. OMFG he is soooo lucky that I didn't swear at him.
After a bit of blowing off of grit and gentle breathing and rubbing of marks, the remnants of the footprint were only visible if you held the print at a certain angle to the light. Hopefully it won't be too noticeable to the judges .....grrrrrrrrrrrr
We spent a good hour and a bit in the post office, and finally bid my entries farewell. This is a shot of them all mounted before packing them up. I am sooooo pleased in how they have printed and I now will have to find some wall space to put them up when I get them back from the show!!!!
After all that, we got home and it was pretty much straight back out to pick up the boys from school where they had both had great days!!!
