Before I start another series, I'll post a couple of single shots. This post is of Tess who recently celebrated her 1st birthday. My friends Mike and Jim held a multi-person birthday party at their house for four people who had recently had birthdays, Mike and Tess included. For some reason, Tess just wasn't in the mood to get her picture taken. I have posted some pictures from the party on Flickr.

Listening to 'I Need All the Friends I Can Get' by Camera Obscura

'BABY, O baby, fain you are for bed,
Magpie to mopoke busy as the bee;
The little red calf’s in the snug cow-shed,
An’ the little brown bird’s in the tree.

Daddy’s gone a-shearin’, down the Castlereagh,
So we’re all alone now, only you an’ me.
All among the wool-O, keep your wide blades full-O!
Daddy thinks o’ baby, wherever he may be.

Baby, my baby, rest your drowsy head,
The one man that works here, tired you must be,
The little red calf ’s in the snug cow-shed,
An’ the little brown bird ’s in the tree.'
- Louis Esson, 'Cradle Song'
