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.

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.

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.

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.

This was our lunch today. It was the perfect final meal for a wonderful weekend in which we ate and drank like kings. Lunch today was all the leftovers from last night's roast with salad and olive bread thrown into the mix. Delicious! I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends and to have a weekend away like this. It was just magic.

Winter Trees

Today I spent the morning working on the Kelly Rae Roberts on-line course that I'm currently taking. I was feeling quite overwhelmed, not so much by the content but by the vast volume of comments and messages. So I sat down this morning and actually started reading through the comments from the other participants and also slowly connecting with them. I feel like I'm in a better place now and feel less daunted and left out.
On another note the Two Week Photo Project is going really well and I have found some more members which is super exciting. The photo above is one I posted, can you guess the theme yet?

The perfect Sunday morning. Breakfast outside in the sunshine with a cup of tea and the Sunday newspaper magazines.

Two Week Photo Project

The new theme for the Two Week Photo Project has been set. Can you guess what it is from the photo above? Head over to Flickr and find out. There's some great photos up there from the past two week's theme which was "circles". I'm really proud of the group, they're taking some really inspired photos. Anyone is welcome to join in, so feel free to become a member and start snapping.

The weekend was super busy. Between working and socialising I barely had any time for myself. I'm not complaining by any means because it was great fun but by the time I got home tonight I was exhausted. I ran myself a bath and got some music and candles - it was the perfect end to a great weekend.
