you get the picture's photostream

I live on the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia. I teach Reading Intervention at a local primary school, so am interested in free resources and games to encourage children to read- hence my first website, www.epuzzled.net. (I bought my first digital camera to take photos for my electronic jigsaws).

I have recently set up free-fun-n-games.webs.com for more games etc, plus sea monkeys info; poems-for-children.webs.com with poems for many different names; also www.mypics.22web.net to gather my photos from various sites onto one website.

For many years, I have been involved in running "Friday Folkies", a group for people to get together to play guitar and sing songs. I have now set up a website to share some songs and learn-to-play tips, www.cathyschords.com.

Photography is one of my hobbies, but I use a "small" camera, a Canon S5IS, rather than an SLR- less bulky/heavy so I can take it more places, and also less of a financial investment - though I'd love something more powerful for the long shots of birds etc.

I also have my little compact Lumix in my handbag, just in case- I'm always looking out for good subjects to use for my games (especially interesting transport and animal themes).
