I just love the bits of sand on her nose...

:: even though it's officially winter it's still feeling & looking a lot like autumn
:: a holiday long weekend- Charlie & Poppy running along the beach
:: a handful of sand
:: driftwood & a headland
:: Even though James has no spoken language, he is excellent at getting our attention! {beautiful father/son moment}
:: really pretty morning light on the leaves at the front of our house

silhouettes

On Sunday afternoon we wandered to the beach, Charlie & 2 of his friends threw the frisbee around. 

I must have taken 150 photos trying to catch the perfect light & the perfect silhouette. 

The boys were very compliant.

 I occasionally asked them to stand closer together or move a little bit in one direction or the other. 

I think these were my favourite...

ten on ten

I'm joining in with ten on ten again...

ten photos, over ten hours (or so) on the tenth day of each month.

Looking for the beauty in the everyday. 

This tenth was a fabulous one. A long weekend  & a lovely holiday by the beach with some friends. 

Amazing weather for winter (the boys went swimming!) & lots of lovely moments to capture.

This is what my day looked like....

looking up

A train trip to the city on a beautiful day last week.

 Looking up at the patterns of the clouds (so pretty!)

 City buildings, sculptures & trees in the beautiful sunshine.

:: a city park, finding a spot with James to sit & have some morning tea 

:: a visit to the zoo, don't you love giraffes?

*James had 2 days off school this week so that teachers could prepare to move to a temporary site while his school undergoes an extensive renovation. We took the opportunity to have an adventure- Thursday a train trip to the city & Friday a trip to the zoo
