33/2016 - Welcome to Canberra

 

While I may have failed at taking lots of photos in Sydney, I feel like I kinda made up for it in Canberra. It might be a small city and whatnot but my friend Bek certainly manages to prove to me each time I visit that that doesn't mean it is boring! From delicious food to amazing scenic hikes to a day of science, we certainly made the best of my short time there. To begin, a leisurely stroll around Lake Burley Griffin at sunset - definitely exactly what I needed a after a four and a half hour train ride! I've gotta say - Canberra does good sunsets!

 

32/2016 - Back to Reality

 

 

After a very relaxing break today was back to reality, back to work, back to days and days of early mornings. Booooo.  I've actually been back in Perth for a week and had intended to blog some holiday snaps earlier but you know... time gets away from me! While I had an absolutely wonderful break in Sydney with my brother and his beautiful family, I found when I got home that I didn't really take many photos around the city. The ones above were about the best I got - I didn't even make it to the bridge this time! It would seem that my focus was pretty well targeted towards these two cuties.

 

And let me tell you, it was pretty darn hard saying goodbye to them! Can't wait to see them again at Christmas...

4/2015 - Real Life

 

Well. That's it, my Christmas holidays are over! Back to the daily grind tomorrow. So before I get back to what I anticipate will be a pretty hectic week here are some nice calm blue oceans...

 

2/2016 - Seashells and sunburn

 

I do hope you won't get sick of beach photos but at this time of the year I just can't keep myself away! Usually I'm there pretty early in the morning though - with my ridiculously pale skin I simply can't hang out too much in the hot hot sun... as evidenced by the insane sunburn that I copped while taking these photos! Gotta love those awkward tan lines!

1/2016 - Fresh Air, Fresh Start

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous time over the holiday period and are looking forward to a wonderful new year! According to the 'on this day' feature on Facebook, every year for the last four years I've posted an early morning photo from the beach on the 2nd of January and this year was no different. There's just something about the sea air and sunshine that screams 'healthy fresh start' to me you know? And that is certainly something I need!

I decided to take a bit of a break from the blogging at the end of 2015, I was off work as well and just decided that I needed a break from pretty much everything. Except eating apparently - that I did like a champ for about 4 weeks straight! The only thing I seemed to take photos of was this little bundle of cuteness anyways...

I'm looking forward to visiting all of your blogs to see what you've been up to while I was away!!

Eighty Five - Breakfast and Cuteness

One of the things I looove to do in Sydney is eat. Well. I love that everywhere I spose. These shots were taken at Jed's Food Store in North Bondi - a very very tasty place for breakfast!

My beautiful niece certainly seemed to agree! Oh how I miss that gorgeous child already...

Eighty Four - New Perspectives

In all the years we've been going over to Sydney, and all the times we've walked around Circular Quay, would you believe I've never actually set foot on the Sydney Harbour Bridge? Seems crazy  right? This trip we decided to take a meander across the bridge and get a new perspective on both the bridge and the quay. I'm not always a big fan of the whole 'love locks' thing, and there are very few on the fences along the bridge (I suspect the guards posted at intervals along the walking path are off-putting to most people), but I did think that this one for someone's Mother was quite touching...

Eighty Three - Hello Old Friend

I'm back! Hi Guys - I'm sorry I've been MIA for a little while, I've been off to Sydney to visit my brother and his family and celebrate my ridiculously cute little niece's 1st birthday. Seriously. She's the most gorgeous little thing ever.  So for a couple of days my photos will have an Eastern States flair while I go through some of my holiday snaps! With my brother living over there we've been to Sydney quite a lot, and we definitely have our favourite places to visit. And of course you can't go past Circular quay and the Sydney Harbour Bridge... I hope you've all been going well!
