happy birthday little girl :)

full to bursting

wishing you a lovely week. i'm almost bursting at the seams with all the wonderful things that have happened this week. i'm looking forward to sharing with you :)

nature is never spent

and for all this, nature is never spent;
there lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
- gerard manley hopkins -

warm glow

my dear mother has the loveliest rose garden, and at the moment it is in full bloom. i spent a grey skied afternoon doing a little pruning, and ended up with a few blossoms myself. i love how all the colours blend together...it reminds me of a sunset...

cupcake

aren't these just epic? they were created by my super sister in law for bronte's first birthday - believe me, they taste as good as they look!

ps. thanks for all the lovely feedback on my new blog banner! :)

august arrives

i haven't posted in a while! it's now august - only one month before spring decides to pop its head around the corner. i'm currently on prac at a highschool, so my daily hours are spent planning and teaching the kiddies! however, i did find time recently to shoot off the rest of a negected roll of film and get it processed. i like some in this set very much :) i hope you enjoy them as well - i'll post a few more, hopefully before the week is out!

ps. how are your jumping photos going? one week to go till the competition closes!

apple of the eye

a little bit of pink to lighten or perhaps brighten up your day. it's rather rainy at the moment!
i took these pictures last weekend at my oma's birthday party. i went outside and took lots of pictures of their garden and iconic verandah which i will hopefully be featuring soon on into my window. the chinese apple tree always reminds me of summer afternoons sitting in their front yard playing with my cousins and picking off the fruit to make all kinds of weird and wonderful concoctions...can you remember it too?

ps. this is tess, by the way :)

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!

*colourful

i'm feeling a little grey today...perhaps a little colour will liven up the day! hope you are having a pleasant monday - i have lots of weekend tells to tell (or rather, show) which i will post when i am feeling better!

blossom place

my room is in in a constant state of change. sometimes the walls are white, sometimes they're not. sometimes there are yellow blossoms, othertimes white, othertimes pink. once the whole wall was covered with posters, then i grew tired of them and assembled (note: i did actually purchase the bookshelf and spend half the day putting it together) a bookshelf instead. change is one thing i don't mind!

ps. mum pruned the roses and i asked her to keep me some blossoms - she picked these out for me..i think they all look rather pretty together. i put them on top of my bookshelf and they made a decidedly good match with the photo frame my sister katie gave to me..bravo :)
