Stradbroke Island

Last weekend we spent last weekend on a lovely little island a 40 minute ferry ride away from Brisbane, it is such a pretty island and easy to explore. It is surrounded by truly beautiful beaches and it provides a perfect place to unwind and walk and talk. The summer heat is fierce at the moment and the humidity is high so being near the water is great.

Vivd Sydney 2017

Each year at this time Sydney puts on the most remarkable light show at night and I got to photograph the wonders of the light show as part of a Canon collective event. We were lent a camera for the night and taken on a tour of great vantage points in the city where we were shown how to take long exposures, double exposures and create wonderful images from the fantastic light festival. I went with Leanne and we have put some pictures on our blog over at two takes so do take a look. Here are some of my images from the night.

January was....

A month of no meat. I highly recommend it to anyone to try, we still ate fish, lots of fish, and enjoyed some amazing vegetarian dishes. I really enjoyed cooking different things and experimenting and we both felt so much better for it. My new favourite salad is watermelon, feta, olives and red onion salad.

a month of summer fruit is hard to beat, especially delicious cherries now in season.

a month of fitness, lots of walks including the beautiful Spit Bridge to Manly walk that takes about two and a half hours and gives you the most fantastic views.

a month of catchups with friends

a month of flowers, I so love flowers in the house and have been getting them once a week now

How was your January?

London town

I have just returned from a wonderful trip back to London. I decided to spend a lot of my time playing tourist so with camera in hand I walked around the very familiar streets of London. One of my favourite places to visit is Shoreditch and Spitafields, here a lot of the areas have been reclaimed by the hipsters but there are still some places that have remained the same such as Brick Lane.

The colours of Winter

Winter looked like this two days ago....

A weekend away part one

We went to the centre of Australia this weekend and stayed in the Northern Territory and it was absolutely amazing. We spent four days in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and were lucky enough to stay in the most amazing place called Longitude 131 where your luxury tent has the most stunning view of Uluru (or Ayers Rock as it used to be known). You open your blinds each morning and see the rock, it is truly amazing. Seeing Uluru is one of the most amazing experiences, it is nothing like you imagine and each one of us found it hard to explain our emotions as we watched it change colour at various times of the day. It really is the most beautiful experience, almost spiritual.

Our days were packed, a full itinerary worked out for us with sunrise and sunset trips to Uluru and Kata Tjuta. We had canapés and drinks served to us on the baked red earth to add to the luxury of it all and it was so wonderful and memorable.

I took so many pictures so will bore you with part two of our adventure soon.

Happy 2015!

Oh my goodness I can't believe how quickly the last three weeks have gone, we had a wonderful time in England and have arrived back home to Sydney a bit jet lagged and jaded.
I thought I would start with a glimpse of Hong Kong for you. We began and ended our trip in Hong Kong, we had lived there for three years so it felt like catching up with an old friend, a few changes here and there but basically everything is as I remember.
My favourite place has always been the markets, so vibrant and colour and so much noise, smell and people going about their daily life. There is always a cat somewhere.
