Happy Christmas

Wishing you a very merry Christmas!

Summer mornings

Sunshine and pomegranates.
Not only do pomegranates look beautiful, they are incredibly good for you- apparently they are  higher in antioxidants than green tea. You can drink the juice, eat the seeds raw or sprinkle the seeds over salads or desserts. Do you ever drink, eat or cook with pomegranate?

How do you start your day?

Do you like crunchy nut or cappuccino?

Breakfast

There's nothing like the stillness and quiet of the early morning. Having a slow breakfast is a weekend treat.

Mornings

For December we are looking at the theme of mornings. How do you start your day? do you take an early morning walk and watch the light through the trees or do you prefer sourdough toast and orange juice with a walk after breakfast?

White

Did you know that more shades of white are commercially available that any other colour? In nature there is the crisp, clean white of  beautiful gerberas and the creamy, natural white of shells on a river bank.

Purple

Purple seems to be everywhere in Sydney at the moment, whether it be dresses in the park or lavender in the garden.

Pink

I love the pink roses in my garden. I've been bringing them inside to put in vases and then collecting the petals as they fall. A beautiful colour match for Justine's delicious berry smoothie.

Green

Summer in Sydney means lots of green, a slice of lime in a refreshing glass of lemonade or a frangipani flower tucked behind the ear. Vibrant splashes of colour and smells, it's all about the colour.

Blue

Blue skies have been a perfect backdrop to beautiful spring days in Sydney this month.  There is blue all around, we've found it up in the air  and out on the streets.

Beginning a project

Welcome to two takes- the photographic collaboration of Justine & Leanne.

It's always hard to know how to begin a project, but we're just going to start.  

On one of our recent get togethers we were inspired by Louise Hawson's  52 suburbs around the world exhibition at the museum of Sydney, where she paired photographs to make beautiful diptychs.

As we were both looking for a project, we thought it would be fun (and challenging) to collaborate & create some diptychs of our own. 
Each week, on a Sunday, we'll be posting a diptych- one photo from Justine & one from Leanne. 

This week we made a trip together to Hyde park in Sydney. We swapped a few photos & put them together. Colour will be our theme for the next month, so we begin with yellow. 

Ordinarily we'll just post one photo, but because it's the beginning we've created one each.
