I know this is probably one of the greatest clichés that can only come from a parent. However I am truly one the luckiest Dad's in the world! Claire has an extraordinary sense of humour (with great timing) for her age (10). I must write down some of the lines she comes out with, things I would not have even dreamt of saying at that age.
She is very happy 99% of the time. Always active, always friendly. Arguably too grown up for her age.
To see her playing away, usually singing quietly to herself is one of life's greatest pleasures for me.

Claire trying hard ....
Almost a great shot. If I keep on shooting I'll get "that" shot eventually.
Claire's team has been "promoted" up two divisions as they have been walloping their peers. They now play in a division with year five's which is proving to be a real challenge. They lost this match by just three goals. Not bad considering the age difference. The "Rose Park Ravens" really do have some great little players and the games are actually very good to watch.

A family day out ...
with sensational weather. What a great day out at the kids Opa's place at Aldinga! Around 10 acres of room which is great for the kids to ride around on.Fortunately no injuries. The bikes are just ideal for an almost fifteen year old and for an old fart like me.Claire screamed a lot but she said she really loves going for a ride.

Claire & Friend
Claire had a friend over for a sleepover.
We had some fun where the girls dressed up for a "fashion" parade and to give me some play time with the D200.
I've no idea where she gets her make-up skills from, however at nine years of age I think she has done a great job.
Shot with natural light against a large window with a brilliant white sheer curtain.
D200, 17-55mm Nikkor, f4, 30th at ISO200 mounted on a Manfrotto tripod.
