Farm Trip



Red shed and kitchen courtyard.


Pretty and delish.




Entrance foyer and overgrown mint in rusty old bath.  


V cool old meat safe and mum's pretty posy. 


The reflective river, and look closely to see a Sea Eagles nest in the tree on the right!


Wool press and wool shed. 


Shearers quarters and wool stencils.



Shearing machine and old tools. 


Lots of horse shoes = lots of good luck! And a moth loving the flowers. 


Lovely wrought iron bed, and Brown Antechinus which is a native carnivorous animal that has too much sex then dies! 


Christmas Pudding tea cosy and dinner, mmm...

Sunset in St Kilda


View from my balcony, weekend of St Kilda Festival. 

Flowers


The Agapanthus is such a popular plant, but rarely picked and used for decoration. My mum picked one once and put it in a vase, which is what made me want to, as they really do look amazing on their own! 


Passionfruit flower, very striking!

Valentines Day/Royal Melbourne Zoo






I love going to the zoo, especially when it's such good weather - which it was on Valentines Day in Melbourne this year. Half the reason I love going to the zoo is to see unusual animals like Lions and Tigers and Bears and the other reason is to see the lovely plants and trees and beautifully maintained gardens. Well worth a visit if you haven't been lately.

Sneak Peek at a shoot I'm doing!




A Wednesday


Vogue and Recorderlig Pear Cider, mmm....

Reminds me of something Carrie Bradshaw said "When I first moved to NY and I was totally broke, sometimes I bought Vogue instead of dinner. I found it fed me more."


Cupcakes on my granny's pretty plates. 
Not my best cupcakes, but great excuse for photo shoot. 
Funny Story: My parents are from the country and sent me down some home laid eggs, as i was cracking them (into a glass then pour into the mixture - my mum always said) one egg opened to expose an embryo! Kind of freaky but amazing. (don't worry, I wont upload the photo I took of that!)

Albury/Wodonga


Murray River Private Hospital
Reminds me of the Pompidou Centre in Paris. 


Crepe Myrtle, pretty. 


Train platform in Albury
