Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I’m a bit of a creature of habit. I visit some of the same local spots, over and over. Mostly because they are lovely spots to visit, at any time of the year. But also as the travel, parking and getting about is easier for me. So when a friend said she hadn’t been to…

Yes again! I seem to visit here and then some else asks me to take them lol. I don’t mind it’s a wonderful spot to visit in Winter. Especially considering the Dandenongs Ranges (My other fav spot to visit) is still closed after horrendous storm damage a few weeks back 😦 We went later hoping…

I felt like I have not left the house for months, I had left a few times for essential things like food and work, but apart from that, we have been self-isolating as much as possible. Parks and various tourist spot were opening to the public (and then being shut again due to high visitor…

Gotta take what opportunities arise right? I have been self-isolating for months, recovering from surgery and hiding from the world. I had to bust out. Yesterday there was a small break in the weather and we headed out to our local gardens. We have been here lots, but maybe not as often as we should.…

I did a recent visit to Australia Gardens (will post more pics soon), I went to shoot the orchids in the orchid house, but there was only one! But then I went to find something else to catch my eye – and found these beauties! I believe they are called Paper Daisies So totally stunning…
