Project 365 - Day Ninety-Seven

Okay is anyone else completely freaked out that it's already March? Where on Earth did those first two months go? As I ponder that let me share the picture for day ninety-seven...

So it's no secret that I'm partial to a bit of food-colouring fun - and today was no exception. One of the great things is it can make loads of mess (and I do enjoy a bit of messy creativity from time to time) but it's so easy and simply to clean up.

It took a few tries to get the right timing and focus (since I'm still waiting for my remote to arrive in the mail!). And then it took a few more tries to get a slash that looked interesting. But I finally got one I was happy with. It looks kind of refreshing doesn't it? Since it was another scorching hot day in Brisbane I needed something to cool me off! SPLASH!!!

Am I the only one who hates the heat? Or is anyone else a cold-lover like me?

It took a while but I'm now finally up-to-date with my project 365. Thanks for hanging in there! So until next we meet I hope your week is off to a great start.

Project 365 - Day Ninety-Six

Day ninety-six didn't go quite as planned. I was meaning to go out photographing after university but it was so hot in Brisbane!! I'm pretty sure I would have melted on the spot. So instead I was left taking a photo in the comfort of my air-conditioned home.

Luckily I had a pretty little gardenia just waiting for it's photo to be taken.

Have you ever smelt the fragrance from one of this beautiful flowers? It is so heavenly! Not too sweet, not too strong, just perfect (apparently I have recently turned into Goldilocks). Sometimes the simplest things in life can make you smile. Like a pretty little flower in a shot glass.

Until tomorrow I hope this finds you safe, well and able to find a little bit of happiness.

Project 365 - Day Ninety-Five

I have a pretty amazing mum. Did you know she works for two different companies, lives life, and is completing a Masters degree? All while being a wife, mother, sister and general sorter-outer of life and family matters.

Yep she's phenomenal alright. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. To top it all off she's super creative and comes up with some great ideas. So when she suggested this idea as my photo of the day I decided to give it a go.

Aren't mum's awesome? I have no idea how she does it all! All I know is I couldn't ask for a better mum. I love her heaps!

Stay tuned for more...

Project 365 - Day Ninety-Four

There was no second sunset on my weekend away... because I left early! But before I left I went for a walk in the Rain-forest walk at the top of the mountain. There were some pretty spectacular walks around the place but I decided to take the tree-tops walk - it had suspension bridges up in amongst the trees.

What caught my eye while I was walked was this bright orange fungi (I'm guessing here) that was growing everywhere!

Isn't it pretty? I feel like they could glow in the dark and light a pretty path. Now I know that more probably isn't right. But part of me wishes it were. Like it could light my way to a pretty amazing adventure... But then it's possible that I've spent entirely too much time in the company of books and fairytales.

Hold on because there's even more updates on the way!

Project 365 - Day Ninety-Three

As I mentioned in a previous post I went off camping this past weekend. So after a long drive - longer than necessary due to a wrong turn - and setting up camp it was time for me to take my shot of the day.

It was so beautiful! We were up the mountain on a campsite in Lamington National Park. There wasn't any light pollution and it was so amazing to see so many stars. The photo of the day is the sun setting on my first camping adventure with my own camping kit.

I like the slight vignette this photo somehow developed. I could have happily sat and watched the stars for hours (in fact I did for a while). It was nice to be in some different surroundings and enjoy the natural scenery.

More updates still to come!

Project 365 - Day Ninety-Two

I have so many photo postings to catch up on!! This always works so much better if I post the day or the day after I take the picture.

But anyway on day ninety-two I was completely stuck for ideas and almost forgot to take a photo all together. I remembered just in time and my iTouch gave me a little inspiration. You see I still own my first ever iPod - back before colour or touch screens. Nothing like a bit of old meets new...

Look at how big the iPod is!! I remember when I first got it. I thought it was so amazing to have so many songs on one little (!) device. And it's only 4 gigs! Technology moves so quickly. It's hard to keep up with all the on-going changes.
