Attended a music festival after a ten year hiatus. It was fantastic. My soul felt rejuvinated by hearing music for three days straight. I was surrounded by a great group of people who felt like part of my tribe...

There is something so refreshing about visiting someone else. Especially when there is no time restraints, trams to catch, kids to take to school or phones to answer. I call it a holiday for the soul and that it was... Ah little pieces of heaven are nice even if only for a week once a year.

I have never been a green thumb..far from it actually but recently ( possibly the impending middle age) I am really drawn to this gentle activity. This incredible orchid was is a masterpiece of my mother in law, and they are simply stunning. One day maybe my little garden will have such elegant beauties.

I made this lemon tart as a birthday gift to my mum... So simple and so yummy and because it has no crust it makes it really quick if there is just not enough time in the day. It is from Bill Granger. Thanks BIll it is indeed very pretty when you add some blueberries and icecream.

I just love the look of this room. The simpleness and clean lines makes me crave space and my old art deco flat back.

heaven in the AM

This is the place I think I love most in the world. Big call considering I have seen some pretty amazing places. There is something about Tallows beach that makes me feel like I am home.  The first morning of our holidays in Byron are always marked by an early morning walk on the beach. And this is what greets me. It always takes my breath away.
I need to take a virtual visit there today as Melbourne has turned on winter with rain and hail.
Ahhhhhh happy place how I love thee

My sunday was filled with moments like this. The sun was shining, my girls were happy and the parks were calling. We had the most delightful morning!

New Camera

So here is one of the shots I took from my newest baby... The EOS D600. I have a HUGE amount to learn but hey one day at a time and with the assistance of all those very talented photographers I know, I am sure I will be up and shooting in no time but for now it is nice just to capture what is in my heart at the instant the button is pressed. This is one of my faves.
