last days of January

So,  this week routine kicks back in with early starts and to do lists, everyone in the family has new adventures & challenges for 2017.  It's been incredibly hot & dry this summer so we've had plenty of time out & about trying to keep cool. 

I just thought I'd post a few photos from January that capture a bit of our summer.

collaboration

I spent the day with Justine yesterday at the beach & we decided to revive our two takes collaboration after a break for a bit over a year. A new project for 2017, slightly different to what we had previously posted -check it out here if you'd like to have a look.

ten on ten

Ten photos over ten hours (or a bit less today) on the tenth day of the month. A great way to document my day. 

I wasn't sure whether I'd keep going with my ten on tens this year as I was getting a bit forgetful towards the end of last year but as I had a fun day planned I thought I'd continue.  I went with a friend bike rinding in Centennial Park -then we had lunch together in a beautiful (photogenic) cafe nearby. 

This is a bit of what my day looked like ...

6:53am    dahlias, more pink than orange in real life- must have been the light
8:34am    shoes ready for bike riding
10.29am  my friend Caroline ready on her bike outside a cafe
10:59am  a spot of colour
11:13am  swans on the lake
12:23pm  entry into the Grounds in Alexandria
12:28pm water while we wait
12:40pm salads & sparkling mineral water
1:03pm   pots on the windowsill
1:11pm   colourful fruit & veg on the bench

memories, dreams, reflections

In previous years I've posted a bit of a round up of my year, but this year I got as far as making a little collage of photos I've taken in each of the seasons. I guess that's an indication of what my year's been like. Quite a busy & difficult year in some ways but I've certainly had much less time to sort through photos & compose thoughtful, reflective pieces to write here. However 2017 is a new year & I'm ready for it! This morning I've planned our meals for the week & cleaned out the fridge-so that's a good start I think.  

So, if your reading this -Happy new year & I do hope to be posting semi- regularly in 2017. x
