First signs of Autumn

I didn't really realize that I took a little break here at this space. I was in Perth over Easter and enjoyed the warm sun and some days off.

Being back here in Sydney it is Autumn and I love the changing light and colors and the fact that you can wear warmer clothes....

>> This made me laugh

>< And I really love the new Beach House song

Blues

These are the last images from the roll I shot two weeks ago. I was really happy how they turned out and I am glad I can share all these nice moments with you.

So many of you asked about the raincoat I got. I don't have an image of me wearing it but found this image here.

Do you have some music recommendations for me?

I have this one for you...

be happy>> Maria

the last weekends

It was raining all day today. But you know, I like such days when you wake up because of the rain outside, read a book and drink tea in bed. I got my sewing machine ready after breakfast to sew a couple of things while listening to music.

I was also quiet happy that I could wear the raincoat I bought last weekend after I went back home from the beach and when it was approximately 30 degrees :) It was 70% off and from Marimekko and I thought "oh my it will probably take me a year until I will be able to wear it", but well, just needed to wait one week :)

Here are a couple of more images from the last two weekends.

Thanks so much for your comments on my last post (the film I usually use is a Kodak 200)

Thursday

A Thursday post, what a surprise.

I realized lately that I only tend to blog on the weekend. I will try to change this and find little things and moreover the time during the week to say hi here more often.

I picked up the images of my last film roll today. 5 to 7 it was when I got into the store and I was glad I got them. I love to see the some memories and moments on a foto. The roll had pictures of the last two weekends and the images here show my last Saturday - it sometimes nice to get out of your neighborhood and explore a other places, streets, lane ways.... We've been to Redfern last Saturday to read our newspaper in one of the cafes there. I had a carrot/ginger juice at Baffi & Mo and before we went home we passed the place Coffee,Tea & Me where we took place at their great bike seat seats and had a nice coffee in the sun.

And suddenly it's Spring

Today was the first day I was wearing sandals. Spring is here. You can smell it when you open the windows and you can feel the sun getting warmer when it shines on your skin. It is wonderful.

I was out with my camera yesterday and today and captured the foggy weather during lunch time and the beautiful evening sun from a friends balcony. We went to the movies to finally watch Beginners - what a beautiful movie.

I liked the part of the roof in the third image, I thought it is such a great pattern of rusty colors. If I could just have a closer look ....

Some trees have these 'pom pom' looking fruits hanging from their brunches. I am quiet fascinated by them and think they are beautiful.

You can see rhubarb in one of the images....I made some compote out of it this morning for our breakfast for this week...but I will show you soon more.

This week

I had the pentax with me all week, hanging around my neck, lying in my backpack or carrying in my hands - ready to take out whenever I see something I would like to capture. On Thursday I thought I will not be able to fill the roll till the weekend...but well it is the weekends and the many walks I do which show me things most of the times...Here are the first pictures of the third film I took...

We got lots of rain this week, can you see it is getting Autumn here....?

A very nice little clip

Maria

A couple more...

Here are some more pictures from the roll...you see that they are a bit over exposed and also some of them have strips on them as if the film was not tight enough in it. I need to take more care of that...

#1 Start the day with a tea

#2 Sydney in the morning - it seems everyone is on its way

#3 We have this beautiful flower shop in our neighbourhood. I love to pass it when its closed and the whole shop is full, so full with beautiful flowers

#4 but also like it to pass it when it is open and the whole street in front of it seems like a garden

#5 Shopping groceries

#6 Me again in the mirror...

A wonderful start in the new week
