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?

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...

room of requirement

last week katie and ben came for a lovely visit. staying for a couple weeks, they sort of set up camp in the yellow room. katie bought a few vintage vases, put some yellow flowers in them and bought some pretty fabric..combined with my suitcase and a bit of film love, it all made quite a nice combination. i think perhaps the vases were too heavy to take home, because they're still floating around - it's a nice piece of memory to have.



ps. only a couple more days left to get your entries into my competition!

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!

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!

orange yellow red

these pictures were taken in autumn, when the leaves were changing colour and the air was getting a little chilly. we're still having sunny days now even though it is june, but the rain is starting to set in.

i hope these colours warm 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!

yellow

a little bit of pruning (or should i say hacking) occured in the backyard today. i felt sorry for the chinese lanterns that were sitting in a pile, hanging their yellow heads...so i picked a few and now they're brightening up my room with their cheery blossoms! white + yellow = happy love

techincal notes: taken inside on the bookshelf, hence the shadowing - hardly any pp, just increased the brightness a touch..very pleased with the results!
