Ekka snap 1: Friends

Among the many attractions of making the 11-hour round trip to Brisbane for the Ekka, is the chance to meet up with friends…  I managed to catch up with a number of my special mates over the course of our three days there. (I should make sure I thank for them here for their patience at our mad schedule – especially my friends M&K who had to drive us to a dinner event in order to actually catch some conversation with us!).

As I mentioned yesterday, my darling Nikon is a little emotional at the moment, so I didn’t get many shots of the action OR our mates.  But this is one snap I did manage…

The idea that two ex-B&S* stalwarts are now mothers of ‘pretty-in-pink girly girls’ just blows me away!

*B&S stands for Bachelors and Spinsters Ball – events which used to be hugely popular in Australian rural areas.  We would gather in a paddock or racecourse somewhere, frocked up (although usually there were RM boots worn under the frocks) and party hard. For a couple of days.
