Street Art Wednesday

I saw this sweet pair down a laneway recently and snapped a photo of them. This week I walked past there again and there was graffiti, like the silver pen in this drawing, all over them. I guess that's what I like about photographing street art, it's so transient in it's existance but in a photo the record remains.

The Weather Turns

This week we had our first day drop below 20 degrees Celcius since December and boy you could really feel it. The past few days the nights have been cool and it's getting harder to get out of bed in the mornings. The storm clouds have been gathering although we haven't really had much rain to show for it. I do like the change of season and I think autumn is my favourite, but I'm just finding it hard to believe how quickly this year is already going. Anyone else feel like 2010 is galloping by?

Five Things On My Desk At Work

1. My plant

2. An empty coffee cup

3. A Sigg waterbottle

4. My diary with my to do list

5. Moisturiser

Pomegranate

We have several large pomegrates growing in the back yard. Anyone have any good recipes?

Golden Glow

This golden glow only lasted for a minute and then it was gone. I'm so grateful I caught it. Amazing.

Evening Light

As the light fades on another work week I wonder where the time has gone. I don't feel like I achieved half of what I would have liked to this week but oh well, there's always next week. The work will wait. The weekend is looking pretty busy but there's sure to be some fun and laughs along the way. Have a great weekend everyone.

The Morning Commute

As I walked to work this morning I was stuck in the dullness of the morning commute. You know the feeling when you're on public transport and everyone has that same spaced out look on their faces. Then I stopped and took myself out of that space and looked up and around and noticed the crazy early autumn light and the clouds and the reflections on the buildings. I only had my point and shoot camera with me but I stopped to take a few shots. It reminded me of a quote that I have written on a post-it note on my computer screen at work.... "What we give our attention to is who we become". I can't remember who said it or where I read it but in that moment it woke me up and reminded me that I don't want to be the brain-dead commuter, I want to see my surroundings and be aware of the world around me and enjoy it for every little minute that exists. Take yourself out of the rat race today, even just for 5 minutes.
