month of mornings | a look back

I really enjoyed my 'month of mornings' photo project last year - a week each season (summer, autumn, winter, spring), equalling a months worth of photographs (28 in fact, which makes the month February, I guess).

I didn't give myself lots of rules - just seven mornings in a row, with anything until noon counting. Although only once was the photo taken that late in the morning, most often I was done before breakfast - or at least before morning coffee. I think splitting the project up into seasons worked well - not only did it keep the images interesting, but a week of photos is a challenge, without becoming really hard work.

Actually, I think picking the image for each day was probably the hardest part - I almost always had plenty of extras, especially on the days I took the camera on my morning walk, in order to catch the sunrise.

summer | autumn | winter | spring

the beginning of something beautiful...

a new year, full of promise, potential & possibility.

I hope your 2014 is full of light, joy, people you love, new experiences, bold dreams, quiet moments & plenty of laughter. Because the best (& scariest) bit is that anything can happen...

Happy New Year!

five senses | morning walk

           Seeing: the hazy, pale gold early morning light, streaming through the trees

           Hearing: chattering, chirping birds, greeting the morning

           Touching: the feel of cool, crisp, early morning air on my skin

           Smelling: the sharp scent of pine needles underfoot

           Tasting: hot, strong, milky tea & banana muffins for breakfast

a day at the market | november

A gloriously warm, sunny, blue-skied day for November's market - perfect late spring weather. Hilda - Mum's dress-form - came to market with us, to model one of our new aprons & I think she did a reasonable job. We had a lovely time & we're already planning for next month :)
