We went camping over the June long weekend to Kilkivan – a tiny town up in the hinterlands west of Gympie. Much time was spent around the campfire sheltering from the occasional bout of misty rain, toasting our feet and chatting.

Due to some delicious paid days off, I have been wandering around with the camera taking advantage of the afternoon light, and my never-ending delight in taking macro shots of ordinary things. I like these simple wooden blinds we have on the verandah – they keep off the direct sunlight, and are easy enough to…

More cupcake deliciousness. I think I need a cupcake stand like that.

I went to my first baby shower on the weekend – the first pregnancy among my contemporaries, really, and a slightly alarming reminder of passing years.

It is the middle of summer, but I was wearing a sleeveless top, and it looked like rain – hence the shawl draped over the chair in my office, just in case. I did end up putting it over my head on the way to work, as it was drizzling and I’d forgotten my umbrella.…

Well, some might consider over a week into the new year a little late to be starting with the resolutions, but I’m doing so anyway – inspired by a variety of things, but most recently Chookooloonks photography blog, I decided to jump on the Project 365 bandwagon. It’s not too complicated – take at least…
