Royal Botanic Gardens - Sydney

A few weeks back my friend Rosa and I went for a walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens here in Sydney. It was a warm Winters day and you could smell that Spring was just around the corner. We only live 10 minutes away from the gardnes but I know I will miss having this beautiful oasis close by (a lot).

A walk in the the Royal National Park

The other Sunday Will, Mel and I drove an hour south to go for a bush walk in the Royal National Park. I have been there years ago and have such fond memories of the park, so I looked forward to going back and enjoying the bush and the water at the end of our walk. 

>> I really like these photos on the Smith Journal blog and love the project itself even more

On the other side

On a calm Sunday morning, we went over the bridge to look at the city from a different angle...

>> Have a look at the wonderful shop of the creative father-daughter duo behind the brand WSAKE
<< Each update on Marion's blog seems to let me say a little wow, I love her work so much
>< Really enjoyed the colours in this post

Spring

Spring has finally arrived here in Sydney, the sky is so blue & the sun is getting warmer each day warming up the sea for many ocean swims....
A few photos from the blue sky in Newtown, the fantastic Brickfields Bakery & a walk to the water close to our house....

Enjoy!

On a Winter Sunday in Sydney

Beautiful Pottery by Pippin Drysdale

On my last visit to Perth I was very lucky to visit Pippin Drysdale in her house in Fremantle. I also had a few glimpses into her studio in which the most amazing, delicate and beautiful pots are getting thrown, fired & glazed.

Pip just had a show in Sydney and it was great to see all her wonderful pots there - some in groups and some just on their own, some small and others impressively big, but all in the most exquisite colours and fine-line-patterns.

I like walking

The other day I took the train to Marrickville and had a beautiful breakfast at Cornersmith. I think I would go there every weekend if we would only live closer.

That Saturday, I enjoyed not to speak much after a busy week at work, just to be on my own and walking all the way back from Marickville, home.

Here a few snaps from my walk

The other day

This week has gone by so quickly. It is sometimes hard to keep track but it is already Thursday. Incredibly. We are going to New Zealand tomorrow, after our trip in October we are back for 8 days this time we will drive around the North Island. I am getting really excited.

I am lucky and some of my photos got printed in some of my favourite magazines this month and I will talk about this a bit more over the next few weeks and show you photos.
But here is a link to the wonderful new Alphabet Journal . It is such a great publication and it amazes me to see how good things get created when lots of people come together but also if people believe into a project and make something happening with their financial contribution, as this magazine went through kickstarter.
