to york

a little while ago i went to york as a part of a teachers conference.  i love old towns like this.  there is character in everything, and i feel like around every corner there is another story.

chris + nicole

these are my good friends chris and nicole! i took some pictures of their lovely selves in the dappled forest light - it really is a magical place.

amber

last weekend amber turned seven. to celebrate, we went to the beach, one of amber's favourite places :) it was a really lovely afternoon! here are a few pictures that i photographed of the birthday girl - isn't she lovely?

the sun it rises

on saturday morning i watched a beautiful sunrise over the sea. the southern part of our state never ceases to amaze me. the crisp air, the roaring ocean, but most of all the light...this was worth getting up for.

all the wild horses

i have never been a huge fan of horses, but after seeing so many nice pictures of them, i have to confess that they are rather photogenic creatures. in a burst of spontaneity, marie and i travelled down the road in the fading hot summer sun to capture these. i have no doubt that i will be back for more.

soaked in sun

it seems as though the warm weather is not letting up, with another week of sun drenched days. it feels slightly strange to be watching the winter olympics in shorts and a t-shirt :)

wishing you all a wonderful and plentiful week - i hope to have two very exciting 'into my window's' to show you all soon!

ps. what is your favourite thing about summer?

i heart this

*k*

the other week my sister katie flew in for a visit! it was lovely to have her here again, and between chantelle, katie and i there was a fair bit of yabbering going on :)

we went to a wedding, rode the ferris wheel (at night!!), went shopping (very locally, hehe), were invited out for a lovely dinner, ate at a restaurant (yes, the family favourite) and had a big family dinner!

these pictures were taken one sunny saturday afternoon over beer and croquettes and conversation...and lots of love for natural lighting!

thanks for a brilliant weekend sis, was great having you here!

(hope these pictures get your o.k)

bike gazing

i love the quiet still of dusk - shame that daylight savings are over and my bike rides can't be more prolonged! i had to act fast to get this shot before the light faded :)

an evening wander

i've been experimenting with the fading light. i love sun flare :)
