901-1050
Winter is here [finally].
Hope you are enjoying this epic adventure so far.
901-903/2018: This "Stupid" tower again.
So stupid that the words here spell out "Westfield" but Google Maps says it is called "AMP" tower. Is Google wrong?
904/2018:
S0 much detail part 1. The ribbon reads "Dieu et mon Droit", which with my limited french translates to "God and my right". [This doesn't make sense]. Any law or French professors out there to help explain this?
905/2018:
So much detial part 2. Found these cool [are they clay?] model cars. All proudly on their pedestals.
906/2018: Which way do these cones point? In or Out?
907/2018: Beautiful reflections in a court of law
908-909/2018: A very industrial sunset. Watch this space, in a few years time, you probably won't be able to see the sunset from this view point.
910-911/2018: Some of the words lighting up the Sydney skyline.
912-913/2018: The beautiful streets of Barangaroo. Vivid Sydney is over but there is still plenty of light around to capture and create. Whether you are here during the day or at night there is always so much happening here at Barangaroo.
914-917/2018: Any guesses what this is? Or how I created this?
918/2018: Just another creation. This one reminds me of chocolate Bounty Bars [YUM]
919/2018: Who needs Vivid to create cool stuff like this.
920/2018: We're off to Europe in 2 months and in and amongst my dreaming and planning I noticed something wrong with this map? Can you see it? [Look closely...zoom a little!]
921-922/2018: Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height...Let's go fly a kite!
923/2018: A standard Sydney skyline at the moment! With Sydney's population booming at over 5.6 million, Sydney is continuing to grow outwards as well as UP!
924/2018: The forest is definitely one of my favourite places. Hard to believe this forest is right in the middle of Sydney. Such beautiful light walking through Sydney Park this afternoon. Always remember to look up [There is so much in this world that is taller that 6 foot]
And so many puppies here today! Izzy had an absolute ball!.
925/2018: Which is hotter? What will happen if I add all of this? Fire or Deliciousness? I love a good kick of chilli but don't want it to burn my mouth while I eat.
926/2018: It'e been 20 years since I was here last in 1998 with all my family and getting tangle up in the entry barricades. 20 years later it looks just as I remembered it.
927-930/2018:
Amazing wanderings around Glebe's Bicentennial park tonight.
931/2018: A beautiful calm bay tonight. [there was a lady just to the right of this picture as I was taking it, I'm pretty sure she thought I was taking her picture, thankfully I wasn't because I think she would have ruined this shot.]
932-933/2018: Calm? or erratic? Which one is your favourite?
934/2018:
Is this a happy face or a sad face or a scared face or a feed me face or a play with me face or a let's go for a walk face.
Whatever she is trying to say, she is pretty cute and just happy to be hanging out with her boys.
935-938/2018: One of the [many] cool things of the ever changing Sydney landscape is a diverse architecture. So many colours, lines and shapes
939/2018: Welcome to Australia. So many names. So many migrants to Australia. So many cultures. So many stories. So many families.
940-941/2018:
Winter goodness!. Loving winter's crisp mornings and sun filled days following by chilli nights.
942-943/2018:
Puddles are pretty cool.
You can splash in them and take photos in them.
944/2018: Time to reflect on your biking journey. Whether you ride your bike to the shops, to work or tens or hundrends of kilometres every week. Whatever your biking method, take the time to enjoy it and challenge yourself with how or why you do it
945-948/2018:
So cool how a single sunset can produce such a vast array of colours and cloud formations! From all these shades of orange when looking west and north to....[see #949]
949/2018: I didn't expect these colours.
950/2018: 475 + 475 =
951-956/2018: From 17:05 to 17:35at Giba Park in Pyrmont overlooking Jones Bay Wharf. A slow capture of how the colours/lights change as the sun disappears [and the wind gets colder]
957-959/2018: the different colours and lines and shadows you find at the beach.
960/2018: I took a photo a few years ago of this exact plant. Except this plants were dead. I very simply called it "I was pretty once" [This is how pretty I was!] I blew the dead plants up nice and big and they became the feature of my exhibition last year "Natural".
Check it out here
961-963/2018: The wonderful changes in colour of my place to be [forest time]
964-967/2018: After a casual walk through the forest what better reward than these stunning reviews. There is so much bush land around Sydney Harbour where you feel like you are in the middle of no where but you are actually right next to the harbour. If you have some time this weekend, find one of this trail and take the time to simply explore the harbour around you!
968/2018:
Pretty sure Izzy loved the views too.
969/2018: Family portrait. [No food was consumed in making this shot. Good Girl Izzy]
97/2018: [Multitasking]. Gluten Free peanut butter choc chip cookies and barramundi with vegetables and butter sauce. Yummo
971-973/2018: Generally, I bike or drive to work. I would love to be able to walk to work but 13k walk isn't really practical.. But when you have a client in the city at the end of the day a 3k walk home definitely is. #walksydney
974/2018:
Days like this can be pretty tough. Finish the day in the city, a walk home through Darling Harbour and Pyrmont and finish the afternoon off working from home on the balcony in the winter's sunshine
[I am working, I promise]. The joys and flexibility of being a community physiotherapist.
975/2018: It's time for another adventure [number one of three for this month].
Hello Christchurch, NZ. Hello Winter!! [Finally]
977/2018: The best way to spend an RDO [rostered day off]. An epic adventure to NZ to hang out with Nana. She loves these birds out in the courtyard and she had the biggest smile on her face when I offered to take her out to visit them, even if it was cold outside and thought she was too fat to fit her bright pink puffer jacket. Thankfully for her one of her carers suggested we take a wheelchair [the physiotherapist in me was trying to make her walk but she wasn't having a bar of that. haha].
So cool just to hang out with Nana, explore and chat the afternoon away.
978/2018:
I got to do the afternoon pick up today with my two nephews. It's not often I get to do this so cool to have an uncle day.
Oliver [11] and George [8] and mischievous little characters and love to win [losing isn't in their vocabulary] so I have to play my cards right to keep them both happy.
So much art around the grounds at Bluestone school and here is Clifford the big red dog. I remember reading his books as a kid - and this is who my friend, Bridget, named her first car after.
979-983/2018: Friday afternoon adventures in Timaru, NZ. [Love ADOs].
From picking lemons at my sister-in-law's house, to having Nerf wars with Oliver and George, to running up warm around the fire, to watching the boys at swimming lessons. What a busy day after just 4 hours sleep [mum you should go to bed earlier!]
984/2018: Meet Moss. The biggest softie. He loves snuggles, especially with his mum [my big sister], to drink water [a lot], play with his sister, Belle, and chew and chase things.
985/2018: So true!
986-987/2018: Meet my nephew, George [on the left]. He loves rugby and is a great wee player, except today he had some issue with his finger which distracted him.. First world problems of an 8 year old
988-989/2018: this quick trip to NZ was to celebrate Nana's 99th Birthday. She is such an amazing lady. She has so many stories [even though her memory is fading] and it is cool listening to her retelling them, mostly of her family and life growing up as the second youngest of 8 children and all her relatives. I LOVE this picture on the left. It is typical Nana: showing off her appetite and her cheeky personality.
990-996/2018: Some of the beautiful winter adventures in my brother and sister-in-laws new garden. So much space to run around and play and take photos and kick a ball around. I showed Nana the pictures of the pruned roses and she was able to tell me how old the roses are just by the number of cuttings on each plant. So cool!.
997/2018: The famous new house. About 120 years old but looking absolutely stunning.
998/2018: An the most stunning view of the Mackenzie hills. Just a few kilometres out of Pleasant Point, there home is a little oasis in the country side.
Thanks New Zealand for a stunning weekend adventure! Love winter days like this.
999-1000/2018: Nana is an amazing lady and I am so blessed to have grown up with her just around the corner. It's hard living in a another country now but with snail mail, skype and adventures we still get lots of special moments together. We have had some funny chats over the years with nana's very unique sense of humour. I am so stoked to be able to adventure to NZ this weekend to celebrate 99 years of her amazing life. I really can't believe you are 99. I love your smile, your cheekiness and your hugs [even if I have to squat really low]. Keep up the colouring nana and I can't wait to hang out again soon.
1001-1004/2018: One of mum's speciality. Love being her sous chef.
Salmon, kumera [sweet potato] and spinach quiche. YUMMO!
1005-1006/2018: I actually thought there would be more snow on the mountains. It's definitely cold enough here in NZ at the moment. Driving up and down the east coast to the south island is always a beautiful sight, it has to be i guess because it is a pretty straight, boring road and you need something to keep you awake!.
1007-1008/2018: Kia ora
Def: hello, how are you, yes, welcome aboard [maybe not], I am well. Maori is such a beautiful language and very proud to be a kiwi where this language is continuing to grow in exposure.
Awesome work AirNZ
1009-1011/2018: Good morning Sydney. Good morning Monday. Thanks New Zealand for a cool adventure this weekend and even bigger thanks to Air New Zealand for a comfortable flight across the Tasman this morning and this spectacular welcome to Sydney.
Now time to fight Sydney traffic and get to work. Happy Monday everyone #sydneysunriseclub
PS: HALF WAY. STOKED!
1012/2018: I am always amazed by nature at this time of the year. It's cold [ish] and yet some plants like this fight nature to survive through winter and still manage to produce some beautiful colours. #lovenature What do you love about winter?
1013/2018:
This isn't the best sunset I've ever seen but what struck my eye, as I walked out the back door at work this afternoon to get on my bike and adventure home, was that the massive cloud is just hovering in the sky and only black and white while the yellow hangs outs on it's own on the horizon.
1014-1017/2018: I love it when there is just scattered cloud at sunset. The colours at beautiful and there is so many ways to capture the ever changing sky. I hope the people living inside those windows don't think I creeping in on them?? Awkward
1018-1019/2018: I love exploring Sydney Harbour and getting creative with the water.
Would you have this framed on your walls?
1020/2018: Rudy's Wharf @roderickgeddes
1021/2018: Not a cloud in the sky. If only this picture could talk - you'd hear the crashing of the waves at the bottom of the cliffs below, the barking of dogs at they play in the water, screaming children not listening to their parents, flax bushes rustling in the wind, the exhaust of the cars as they zoom up and down the boulevard.
How can anyone not like spending time hanging at the beach? So much to see and explore!
1022/2018: 4:54PM
1023/2018: 5:04PM
1025/2018: So many awesome vinyls, so much history. Pretty cool having these all on display in one place [who needs wall paper when you can decorate the wall like this].
1026/2018: It's only taken 8 months and a lot of hard work for this beauty to finally turn red. I hate to admit that the naturally long nights and sunny summer, I mean winter, days is actually probably what did it and my hard work was probably just wasted. Lame. But still. Redness!
1027-1028/2018:
Take the time to look down and see the cool stuff you would normally just walk over
1029-1031/2018: We took Izzy on a big adventure today, over to Rose Bay.
Unfortunately she was too fast and didn't stop moving so I couldn't get a decent shot of her.
1032-1033/2018: Mr and Mrs Percy. Do you think because Mr Percy's wings are in flight in his statue that he was killed in battle. If Izzy had her way, Mrs Percy in on the right would have definitely dies in battle as she chased her all the way back into the water.
1034/2018: I love seeing orange flowers. They are just something a little unusual, not your typical primary colours. Especially for July, braving the "winter". Maybe nesting itself near a warm beach helps...
1035-1036/2018: Hanging out in her favourite spot on the boat where she gets the best views. [not sure if she is happy or sad. Hopefully happy!] Shade or sunshine? I bet you this is thinking "come on, it's tea time, hurry up and feed me already..."
1037-1040/2018: What a difference a few hours makes. The top two pictures are from Manly at 10am in the morning when we picked some friends up. The bottom two are at about 4PM when we dropped them off again in Manly. #clouds #notacloudinthesky
1041-1043/2018: Wow, that was close.
1044-1045/2018: In or out of focus? Which is your favourite?
Adventures out on the boat, cruising home with the sun setting is always the best way to end a lazy day on the boat.
1046/2018:
Play with the sun and light and objects is always fun. It really makes me think about what I am doing with the camera, where I am placing the camera and also how beautiful, intelligent and insane the naked eye is.
Look after your eyes!
1047/2018:
I saw this on the wall next to the elevator when I was leaving a clients home today. It is titled
"THE PERFECT FRIEND"
Always happy to see you
Great advice
Always ready to listen
Loves to share and smile
Available to lean on
Good for holding and helping
A warm spot here for you
Friends are essential in this amazing complex world. Look after your friends, check in on them regularly and give them big hugs!
1048-1049/2018: toughing out "winter"
1050/2018: I love this picture. So may angles, so may lines, so may aspects, so many colours. Some times you just have to sit and relax and let the world around you show off its stunningness!
