Summer Outings – Schwerkolt Cottage

Finally! I get to post some Summer outings, It’s not that we haven’t been out much, it’s just that Summer has only just started, I feel like it’s been ages since we went anywhere, but it’s not, not really. November, moving into December gets to be a really busy time of the year and this…

Mondays Musings…

What started off as a slow week, ended up quite busy. Jess joined me in the studio for an impromptu photo shoot, I wanted to try some different lighting and posing, I have only just discovered Emily Soto and some of her work really spoke to me and I wanted to just play. I had…

Winter Outings – Pirianda Gardens

Located on Hacketts Road, Olinda is the quiet and unassuming Pirianda Gardens. We have not visited this site before and had not even heard of it, even though we must have driven past this road 100s of times before. It is right near the RJ Hamer Arboretum, which is the easy way in on this dirt track.…

Winter Outings – RJ Hamer Arborteum

We have not really been out exploring much since we got back from Tassie, a month ago. I guess we were going a bit stir crazy, it been a month of catching up with various jobs around the house, work, social engagements and then, of course, the Exhibition. The weather had not been so brilliant…

Monday’s Musings

We officially hit Winter on Friday…how depressing, and just to celebrate Melbourne turned on the sunshine. Blue Skies, mild temperatures and light winds. The last few weeks have been bitterly cold and grey and drizzly. I am sure there is more horrible to come. We have been getting very cold mornings along with our clear…

Our last day in Tassie, so we had a big sleep in (of course – we had been on the go for weeks, it was catching up with us), we then drove down the coast to Coles Beach (as opposed to Coles Bay – very different, and a little confusing with names so similar). We…

Our Tasmanian Adventure – Day 16

It was early morning once we got a little away from Launceston, there was lots of mist and fog; eerie to say the least the world had disappeared. We met everyone (from my Artists Group) at historic Brickendon Estate Farm. This is a World Heritage Listed Colonial Farm Village and so much fun for the likes…

Weekend Wanderings – Gippsland Day 2

Day 2 We rose super early, I wanted to try for another glorious sunrise at Walkerville South, we grabbed our gear and a coffee and drove back down to the Cape Liptrap Coastal Park. We spotted lots of wildlife this morning, all just walking across the road, 3 wombats (which is rare… I saw more wombats…

Weekend Wanderings – Gippsland Day 1

Almost a year ago we went on a short stay to Inverloch in Gippsland, Victoria (Australia). We had such a wonderful time and its only one hour from home. We visited so many great places, but there were still more we did not quite have enough time to fit in and vowed to come back.…

The Price of Progress

Just up the road from me there was a very quaint little reserve (don’t panic it’s not the Duck Pond), I took these photos late last year, it’s quaint, it was pretty, and now it is gone. Hard to believe it’s the same place, I should have taken more photos, now it is gone. I…
