Bali

I've only travelled without Kaitlyn 3 times since she was born. We went to Langkawi when she was about half a year old, London when she was about a year old, and so when she was about 18 months old, we took a short holiday to Bali.

I knew the St Regis in Bali pretty well because I was there in December 2008 for Bee & Bok's wedding. This time, instead of taking my arsenal of equipment with me, I brought just one camera and one lens. Here are some images from that weekend:

I only used one camera and one lens. That's how a holiday should be shot!

June Pics

As you might expect, a bad back tends to lead to a drought in pictures of Kaitlyn, but here're some pics that I managed to make in June.

Kaitlyn absolutely loves books and her cot



she also loves playing in the dressing area



and of course her paints, except nowadays she seems to prefer to paint herself




time alone in the oval office



a little scared to slide down what she calls a "whee"

posing for a portrait in her cot

bubbles!



botanic gardens with mummy



with her paints again




at the zoo, saying hello to the white tigers



not very pleased with the emu that tried to take a peck at her

trying on a new pair of shoes from Aunty Wong Ping & Uncle Jeff

absolutely love those eyelashes!
