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.

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.

Endings & Beginnings

I have had such a relaxing week. This week is the last week of my "six months of freedom" before I go back to full time work. My job is season, so is only over the summer. This winter I took the chance to be a free agent and do whatever my heart desired. I've travelled, I've worked casually, I've had time to read books and as a result I'm in a fantastic state of mind and feeling really relaxed. In saying that, I am looking forward to the challenge of being back on the job.

Street Art Wednesday

I saw this little guy on my lunch break recently. It's hard to see the detail as I only had my iphone with me, but it looks like a little owl made of tin cans, icy-pole sticks and other odds and ends. He was nailed up below the "No Entry" sign and I'm actually surprised I noticed him.

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?

Street Art Wednesday

It's been a wet wet day here in Melbourne today and luckily for me I've been inside almost all day. I did need to pop out and do a few things and after procrastinating for most of the morning I did managed to drag myself out to the shops. On my way back to the car I saw this and despite the rain I had to stop and take a picture with the iphone. Such a beautiful portrait amidst all the "tagging".

Instagram Sunday

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.

Congratulations Cadel

Yesterday I worked on an event to welcome Cadel Evans home after his Tour de France victory. It was fantastic to see so many people there to show their support for him. He's such a humble man and it was truly inspiring to see the overwhelming appreciation the public has for him.

Rainbow

Today there was the most beautiful rainbow in the sky. I only had my iphone with me but I think it still captured it well. The rainbow had such a profound effect on people. Everyone was stopping to take photographs and then smiling at each other. It created a beautiful atmosphere around the place. Just amazing.

Street Art Wednesday

I thought I'd include a different type of street art today. The Gertrude Street Projection Festival is on at the moment and tonight we walked down and had a look. There are loads of cool projections on the buildings and the footpaths. I liked this one. The colours and patterns kept changing.

Flinders Yellow

The yellow of Flinders Street station stood out to me today since I'm in a yellow frame of mind for the Two Week Photo Project. I only had the iphone with me but I think the photo came out OK.

Winter In The City

Macro Friday

Today I had a lovely 4 hour coffee/breakfast with a dear friend. The sun was shining and the conversation was flowing, so after about two and a half hours we switched to wine. We had such inspiring conversations about life, travel and business ideas. I left feeling so invigorated and motivated and I can't wait to see these ideas start to take on a life of their own.
