i saw a horse

i recently went on a little field trip with some students to take photographs of the south west. we stopped alongside this gorgeous paddock to say hello the the horses. the wind was rifling through the grass and looked so beautiful, stirring through the horses mane.  there is a certain elegance about the horse that makes them magical creatures to photograph.

ps. an outtake :)

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.

harvest

nothing beats picking fresh vegetables from your own garden. straight from the soil to the table, (okay with washing in between) that's the way it should always be :)

do you have a veggie garden? what do you like to grow?

reach up to the sky

happy new year! i've had a relaxing break and i am back for a new year :)

did you make any new year resolutions? in a bid to save my pennies for my european adventures, i've decided to go a whole year without buying new clothes - emphasis on the new - op shop finds are acceptable!

this picture is from my tasmanian adventures, and i think it is my favourite. a good way to start the new year :)

bridgenorth

bridgenorth is the cute and country like place where i stayed. whilst in tasmania. jules let me borrow his canon film slr (yay more film!) so i could let loose on the paddocks, cows, grass, fences, horses and abundance of other green things.

i love this little place :)

to do

this past week i have been a busy little squirrel! i found this gorgeous little site that showed me how to make a little to-do note folder. it was lots of fun to make and i love how it fits neatly into the back of my 'everything-and-anything' notebook. best thing of all, when you cut out the template you can decorate it any way you wish. i've covered it in brown paper and stamped a torn piece of white cardstock with this stamp. real cute :)

do you remember?

explore. dream. discover.

it's nice not having to do anything every once in a while. today i took a spontaneous trip outside with marie and discovered a lovely tree! the air was very crisp and refreshing and my face was tingling when i got back home - you should try it sometime - just remember to wear socks!

all the colours of the rainbow

these are some of the flowers in my mum's garden - i tried to find all the colours of the rainbow, and i think i got there! i love the way they all look together - who says its winter? hope this cheers up your day!

away and back

i have returned! i spent the past week with my sister chantelle and her family. i had a lovely time, going for bike rides to the beach, taking caden for walks in the pram, going fishing with the boys, shopping, driving around, creating a new 'into my window' and soaking up the sunshine! in between the talking, stampin' and tea drinking, i managed to take some pictures :)

these photos are taken with the trusty olympus om707 and a roll of kodak gold. the colours are so vivid! i love the way the colours compliment each other, like caden's blanket (doesn't he look so cute when he wakes up!) and the cereal bowl on the counter (which one of the twins abandone). over the next couple of days and weeks i'll be posting more photos (and hopefully some video!) of my time away.

for now, i will leave you with these - let me know what you think!

handpicked

today i took caden for a little walk in the pram...we had a stroll through the green grass and caden decided to pick some flowers :)
