Ever since I decided I wanted to buy a hair straightener, I had so many people say earnestly to me, “You Must Get A GHD. It Is The Only Way,” that I decided to obey them. I’ve always been interested in cults, now I get to experience one. And my hair loves me for it.

On Australia Day, while playing catch in the pool during the afternoon, we spotted these small wasps nesting on a plant by the water.
I loved the vivid green of this delicate vine making its way up the tree trunk.
I spent the morning at our book club picnic, and sat back to snap a few portraits while Radha was telling a story.

I replaced the very common-place black windscreen wiper blades on my car with these lurid pink ones.
The lock on the front door of our house – I tried to take a photo of the handle with my reflection in it, but blurred them. I’m thinking I should start using the tripod more, even when I don’t think I need it.
Our front garden, with the upper dam and the landscaping we inherited from our house’s previous owner. We don’t spend enough time out here, due to the fact we can see our neighbour’s house, and it destroys the illusion that we are alone surrounded by tranquil acres bushland. Well, we are surrounded by acres of bushland, but it’s a narrow and long property, with neighbours on either side. The view from our back verandah is uninterrupted by rooftops or fences, so we tend to spend most of our time out there.
Yep, that’s how bad I am at resolutions and new projects – it only took two days for me to forget to take a photo! I thought for a moment that I had snapped one of the kittens on my phone, but alas, it was blurred and I’d deleted it right away. I think I’ll be a bit less conscientious in future.
o frabjous day!
