Everyday light

We love the way sunlight comes though the windows and touches our everyday. Beautiful light on the flowers and  light streaming into the bathroom and adding some interest.

spring

In my part of the world spring has sprung and I'm noticing the signs. Flower buds and new growth on trees. Days are getting longer and the air is feeling warmer. 

I really like the change of seasons. 

 

winter flowers

 Some white winter flowers with wet petals on the deck.

It's nice on a grey day to see some pops of light...

yellow

        As the weather gets a little cooler here in our part of the world it's always good to look out for pops of colour to brighten the day.. 

these yellows are quite cheery.

Basketry in the Gardens.

As part of our ongoing quest to try new skills, we attended a basket weaving workshop at the Calyx in the beautiful Botanical gardens in Sydney. (same place that we did our drawing class last month!) We had a nice morning learning how to weave and I have already forgotten all the technical terms that were used. It is definitely fun and interesting to keep learning new skills and the setting is so beautiful, if you are ever in the area we would highly recommend visiting. Not sure what is next on the list of activities but will keep you posted. 

Here are out two takes of the basketry class..

From the garden

Don't you love plumbago? here in Sydney we are lucky to have an abundance of blue flowers and blue sky.

A month of fences

Fences are always such fun to photograph, have you joined the fence Friday group on flickr? We will spend November showing you the fences we have photographed, why don't you join us with your favourite fence shots?

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.
