Daisy

I almost didn't come home tonight. As I stepped off the bus and onto the grass verge that lines the street, all I could think of was the warm air that suddenly took a hold of me, the slight breeze with a hint of a chill that I spend the cold months longing for and dreaming of. Street lamps lined the way home, but all I wanted to do was to lie down on the grass and watch the lightning flickering on and off to the west. I took smaller, slower steps. I stopped to stare openly at the holes in the cloud that seemed to reveal the brightest of stars. I don't remember instructing my feet to move forward again but eventually I found myself standing on the line between my house, and my neighbour's front lawn. I sighed, resigned. And so I find myself sitting here, a yellow daisy from the line between my neighbour's lawn and my own reminding me of that wonderful feeling of being enveloped by beautiful summer air and wanting nothing more than to share it with the world... 

Op Shop Shoot: Summer Loving

In a mad ditch effort to get images of my many, many pre-loved purchases onto this space before my op shop challenge ends on December 31, my lovely friends Tanya & Kathleen spent an hour at my house this morning to get dressed up and snap some photos. It was all a bit of a rush - I didn't even have time to try and tame my currently crazy hair - but as you've all probably realised by now, Tanya is an amazing photographer so we still managed to get some awesome pictures, and even though it is way past my bed time, I couldn't help but to share a little glimpse of the results with you!! :)

Isn't she beautiful??

Flavour of the Week: Green

If any of you cool kids follow me on instagram, you'll probably know I have a bit of a thing for my parents garden (because let's be honest, as much as I like to say it's mine, I don't have anything to do with its radness) :P

It's such a wondrous place, especially at this time of year when its filled with activity and colour. There are thousands of busy little insects running errands - ladybirds sleeping on orange tree leaves, ants running through the grass and burrowing through the cracks in the pavement, slaters crawling around in little nooks. There are flowers and vegetables and leaves growing, unfurling, painting themselves pink, orange, purple, yellow, green and red. 

And as much as these (unedited!!) photos can't do it justice (I want a macro lens so bad!!) I couldn't help today but to run around capturing these images to share with you all. 

Here's to beautiful gardens, hard working parents and a happy Sunday!! :)

Over and out.

Tales of Jim and Sam: Questions.

Taken from my Pinterest.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Only if you tell me why you always ask me if you can ask me a question."

She laughed, a little shyly, "Iuno... I spose it's because I like hearing the response. The different way that someone answers the same question intrigues me. Perhaps I like giving you a little bit of warning that something's coming, that the mood's about to change. Or maybe I just like to have permission..."

He smiled at her. She thought he smiled knowingly.

"Can I ask you the question now?"

"Go for it."

"Why... why did you follow me out of that club?"

To all the people that I meet...

The Family :)

In the midst of a serious conversation and my Uncle looks up and smiles for the camera.
I love this photo :)

Today, I am thinking about how lucky I am to have such amazing people in my life. People who have barely left but who I already miss, people who left long ago who I miss even more. Friends and family. People I've met in the strangest places and people I've known my whole life. Thank you all for being so damned incredible.
