Instagram Sunday

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.

A Weekend Away

This weekend a group of us rented a house in the country and went away. It was great to get away and totally relax. The house was fantastic and came with it's very own donkey and pony, Lucky & Jasper. So cute! 

Macro Friday

Today's Macro Friday is brought to you from the jungles of Borneo. I took this photo on my recent holiday there. The gorgeous colour of the leaf stood out to me and I had to stop and take a photo.

Love Thursday

I can't stop taking photos of winter trees lately. I love their bare branches against the sky and I find I am walking around with my head in the clouds, staring up at these beautiful bows. The weather is suggesting that spring is on it's way and I will welcome the new leaves but for now I am going to appreciate the beauty that is bare branches.

Street Art Wednesday

I'm including two photos today as I think the context of where I saw this art work is quite significant although as you can see in the first photo, if I only gave you context you wouldn't see much. I saw this gorgeous picture on my way to work the other day and it made me stop and take a second look. I love the kookaburra on the branch and the way the girl is relaxing back and the fact that it has been painted up, almost under the rail bridge is great. It's like it's a real little secret. I wonder how many other people have even noticed it?

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 Boat Of Life

"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing."
