Street Art Wednesday

This has to be one of the cutest pieces of street art I have ever seen. These little girls just make me smile and want to join in.

Swedish Christmas Markets

Today we went to the Swedish Christmas Markets. There is always loads of great stuff to look at but my favourite thing is the delicious food. These open sandwiches are to die for.

Soaring

Imagination allows us to escape the predictable. It enables us to reply to the common wisdom that we cannot soar by saying, "Just watch!"

Street Art Wednesday

My poor Nikon D60 is still at the camera doctor and I still don't know what is wrong with it. It's so weird to not have it and of course I keep seeing things I want to take photos of. Instead I am stuck with the iphone. It's not really a bad option but it's not the same. I do love Instagram though, so that seems to be my default when capturing images.
 I saw this artwork tonight coming home from work. So cool.

Instagram Sunday

This photo looks so stormy and cold but in truth it was a beautiful warm day. We went for a drive out to the Yarra Valley and stopped in at the Punt Road winery. These are all the apple tree used to make delicious cider.

It was so nice to get out of town.

Friday Afternoon

Today I caught up with a friend for coffee. It was such a lovely afternoon sitting by the river. I know on a Friday I usually do a macro shot but this moment was too nice to not share.

The Rainbow Connection

I saw this beautiful rainbow last night. Yesterday afternoon it rained and rained and then just on sunset it stopped for a bit and this amazing full rainbow appeared. Everyone came out of their tents and stared in awe at it. I was disappointed not to have my camera with me (sadly my Nikon D60 recently died and is about to get sent to the Nikon repair shop so I have been making do with my iphone and point and shoot), but the iphone did a good job of capturing it.
This rainbow made me smile for a long while.

Time For Reflection

Last night we drove up to the Grampians for a mini break and today we went on a walk to Bee Hive falls. The falls themselves were a little underwhelming but the pools nearby (such as this one) and the surrounds were beautiful. We took a little detour off the beaten track and climbed up the escarpment to witness an amazing view and some crazy limestone caves. It's so good to be away and have some time to relax and reflect.

Two Week Photo Project

There's a new theme, just announced today, over at the Two Week Photo Project. Hop over and take a look.

On Inspiration (Or Lack Thereof)

The past few weeks I have been totally uninspired. In fact to be honest it’s been a while. For the first time in a year and 9 months, I really didn’t want to update my blog. I don’t know where it has come from or what the cause but all I know is that I felt I was forcing it. Making myself take photos and as a result, the photos were pretty average and left me with an empty lost feeling rather than one of pride or inspiration. So I made the call to stop. Just stop posting. I apologise to you all for just disappearing but I really didn’t know what else to do.

I can’t say my inspiration is back, I’m not sure. But I do know that this post has been gnawing away in the back of my brain and I know that I’m not done with blogging all together just yet. I may look at just posting once a week? I haven’t decided. But I do want you to know, I’m not gone, just on hiatus. I’ll be back soon.

Love Thursday

I love round windows, especially stained glass ones. I don't know why, I just really like the way they look. I took this photo in a house we stayed at a few weekends ago, as a reminder for if/when I ever build my own home.

Street Art Wednesday

I apologise for the average quality of this photo, I took it with my iphone at night. I saw it the other day when heading out to dinner and something about it just grabbed me and I had to stop and take a shot. I'm drawn to the truth. The truth about who we all really are and the truth behind the facade that we present to the world. Sometimes it's hard to hear the truth and other times it's hard to tell it but at the end of the day, the truth is often the best way to go.
