good morning

A small sleep in for us on the last day of the school year. Time to tickle unwashed toes in bed. Not watching the clock too closely, knowing that the school bell will be ringing on the way there anyway. I didn't add a photo for Thursday so I have doubled up here and from now on I think I may need to be a little more flexible with my I photo a day till boxing day pledge. Have a lovely day x

peace

...and quiet around the house today. Just two days left of school before the big summer break begins.

Wow wee, change IS as good as a holiday! - I am also on holiday (at home) so the goodness is double ;-) I chucked in my day job a few weeks ago and have had some time to do some of those everyday simple things that were once just part of my day or week, like posting here more often. I have another few weeks off before starting an new job which is less hours and will be a really nice change, and the new year, looks like it will bring with it the gift of some more space -to think, plan, create and to give a little more. I am just now setting myself the task of adding a photo here a day until boxing day. I have noticed that others in this space often post a photo on Friday that describes one small quiet moment in an otherwise busy week. I will just be finding one of those moments to post here everyday.

play time

A giant canvas and a bright sunny day. We all joined in the fun, one by one  x

I came across this video posted on cloth.paper.string this morning. It is beautiful and dramatic. I watched it twice with my daughters and then again by myself. I think I will watch it again tomorrow and wanted to share it here too. Enjoy!

Thursday

well....  I think it is time to mix things up. The time to take a few (more) chances. It's the time to stop and smell the roses. It's time for morning tea. Welcome in randomitis!

make your own kind of music

You can make things up as you go along or you can plan for changes along the way. Sometimes you just have to wait to see what's playing next.  

closer

Colours and details. A very Adelaide spring day with blue skies, bright sun and dry heat. I said goodbye to my lingering cold and shook of last weeks blues and headed into the city and gardens to make the most of my day off and the first day back at school. How pretty the city is at this time of year. The art gallery has had a bit of a change of furniture lately and has some  fresh Australian modernist paintings on display in the purple gallery. I just love these terrazzo stairs too.

Sunshine and silver clouds. A weeks sniffles have left me and my photo taking mojo a little low. Oh well, it's just the way it blows sometimes.
P.S. that's our handsome puss Scout x.

texture and warmth

Yesterday we had our first spring swim. Outside the skies are blue, our streets are full of red Bottle Brush flowers and the birds are happy and busy. Inside I am noticing all of the autumunal colours and thinking of the coming warm and hot days.
