On the 6th of October my very special friend married her very special guy in a very special forest that was close to her very special home. Surrounded by people that loved them and giant sugar pines in equal measure, Laura and Justin committed their lives to one another. And it was pretty damn perfect, rain and … Continue reading

Emma + Jamie + Linden + Al (+ a whole lotta critters)
Today my little family went to visit this slightly bigger family, and trust me, you want to live where they live. There’s little mini horses, fluffy chickens, friendly farm dogs and rolling green hills. Then there’s Emma, one of my dearest (and photogenic; can I get an amen?!) friends from the days of yester, and … Continue reading
A wedding
On the 6th of October my very special friend married her very special guy in a very special forest that was close to her very special home. Surrounded by people that loved them and giant sugar pines in equal measure, Laura and Justin committed their lives to one another. And it was pretty damn perfect, rain and … Continue reading
Daphne
When we moved down to the ‘country’ we were faced with a mousing dilemma. The weather was cooling down, and the local mice deemed our house a better alternative than the outdoors. We started with traps, which worked for a while, but when we found our dishwasher had been destroyed by rodents (yep, a DISHWASHER) … Continue reading
The Family
I’m going to diverge from this blog’s original purpose of celebrating my sunny pie lad, and post some pictures from my very fist family session that I did as a part of the Pobke Magic workshop this week. It was a fantastic day; making new friends and reconnecting with old PLUS spending some time with the photo-brained genius … Continue reading
Manners
A long time ago, I was talking to a wise (young) man named Eli about talents. We discussed how some kids are good at maths, some kids a good at sports, and some kids are good at music. Eli looked over at a 6 month old Lior and said to him ‘You know what your … Continue reading
Cold adventures
We’ve been blessed with so many visitors this year. One day, before we move back up north, I’ll sit down and count them up, but it has to be at least 300 or 400 (or to not lie, in the dozens, which is also awesome). Each time people come, there are certain ‘sights’ that we … Continue reading
Boy & Cat in the not quite spring time
Lior loves Daphne. He calls her Meow. Everytime he sees her he says ‘Meowwww’ in an ‘oh there you are you rascally cat’ kind of voice which is soon followed by a high pitched giggle, then (if she’s in reach) he grabs her and rubs his face on her. Sometimes she tolerates it, other times … Continue reading
Snow
Snow is special. It’s not merely ‘weather’, it’s an event that makes everyone stop and exist completely in that moment and nowhere else. Round here, there are more rumours about snow than anyone or anything else. You overhear snippets of conversations while standing in the grocery shop ‘it’s meant to snow down to 1000m’, which … Continue reading
Lior the pilot
The last few days Lior has been obsessed with planes. Not sure where this aeronautical passion came from, but everything remotely plane-like fills his cockles with joy. So today was ‘dress like a pilot’ day, and off we went, flying planes around the backyard, faces covered in Vegemite. Continue reading
