CREATING ART FROM YOUR EVERYDAY
I spent an afternoon with Suzi and her boys in the cooler months last year and all these hot summer days are taking me back to my preference for autumn and winter. I met Suzi at her place as she and the kids were getting home from day care and school. We ate afternoon tea together, headed to the park and came home for hot chocolates before Dad came home …

We had the privilege of looking after our neighbour's place for a week from Boxing Day. This meant feeding a cat, looking after six chooks and tending to plants. Our neighbour has an amazing edible garden and we were told to help ourselves - which was delicious. We also got to watch the bees coming and going from the hive. It really felt like magic each time …
My Great Grandfather's Pudding (aka the year I ate too much pudding!) We spent alternate Christmases with my maternal grandparents which were filled with cousins, running around, fun and love. They were a traditional kind of Christmas that involved going to mass as a family (where Grandma was always a few beats ahead in hymns and prayers), roast meat, …

Some Christmas tree selection and drone flying in the final 10 on 10 for 2018. I wanted to go out with a bang. Some amazing story told through ten images. I didn't get a chance to even tell an ordinary story in ten images this past month. I picked up my camera many times for one or two shots of something like the morning light on my sleeping daughter but …
This last month I had a dear friend, Lauren (of Free Range Change) visit when she returned from Central America. The girls and I made some kokedama for the bathroom in the winter school holidays and Lauren mentioned she had always wanted to make some so we went to Bunnings (but I didn't have my camera :( ) and got the necessary material then got …
A bit of a mixed bag this month, three separate little stories I guess. The 10 on 10 is a blog circle project. The goal is to write a blog post to be published on the tenth day of the month and for the post to feature ten photographs taken on the same day or ten favourites from the previous month. At the end of the post, there is a link to the next …
The camera hasn't been pointed at my family much this last month but I did get it out a little recently. Olive had been playing with a leaf and some grass (a shield and sword) when the leaf ripped. She was pretty upset and asked if we could sew it back together. That is the story o how Olive learned to sew. She wanted to take it back outside "where it …

The circle part comes in to it because each photographer links to another at the end of their post and you click …
Meet the Baldwin Family Earlier this year I got to spend 8 hours with the Baldwin family and it was a whole lot of fun! I arrived at their home in Newtown, Sydney as they were eating lunch and stayed past dinner. Our time together was spent doing their usual things like a midday bath to wash off all the sand and dirt from a morning park trip (and wash …
