Happy Birthday to my wife!

It is my wife's #$th birthday on Saturday and a biiiig party is happening

Her birthday present from me is one of my images blown up on canvas and mounted on a wooden frame - I think it came out very nicely.

Hope she likes it

ED: IT WAS HER IDEA!!!!!!!!!!

Think again bud.
She's gonna go looking for the sharpening stone - there's a machete out there that's just rusty enough to hurt but not quite sharp enough to go deep.

Ah you cynical basstards...particularly you Houghy ..all...th..ou..gh..?..there could be a market for those

For the record, this is not exactly a surprise, Angela came up with the idea and requested that specific image so nah nah (I wouldn't have chosen that one buut it was for her, so meeeh). She is on her way home from Canberra this evening and is all excited about seeing it, in fcat she just rang all excited and asked "Ooooh what does it look like, tell me tell me?? So, sorry, no knives from my doll on this one .

She will love it

Mike

Mike I figure that anyone that can toss a caber is alright by me.
Does your wife deserve you? Only you can tell.
The help and advice around here has been good from you. Your images are very good due to you dedication.
All the best to both of you.
