The thing I find myself searching a lot is what to grow in Queensland summer. It’s hot, wet, and there’s a lot of pests. As I have unfortunately come to find. I’ve seen a lot of people in my gardening groups say that they just can’t be bothered planting anything once it gets to summer….
Christmas 2021
Somehow I have found the strength to drag myself away from doing nothing on the couch, the done thing in the awkward post Christmas pre New Years period, to edit the last set of photos taken this year. Christmas was fantastic. All I had to do this year was turn up. Unlike previous years which…
Taking in The Tulips
These photos were taken in spring and then put aside for a rainy day. Today is that rainy day, because the wet season came early this year and it looks like it will be staying for some time. Most of the time when I take photos, I’m not very happy with them. The lighting is…
Velvet Web
When I decorated our place for Halloween this month, I put up the customary fluffy fake spider web and plastic spiders. At some point one of the spiders came loose, and ended up on the carpet…which led to me having a big freak out. Completely forgetting that it was one of the plastic spiders that…
Sakura at Sunrise
And now, for this year’s lot of gratuitous cherry blossom spam. As long as I’m alive I will never tire of seeing these beautiful trees in bloom. It will always be one of the highlights of each year, and my all time favourite backdrop for outfit photos. In preparation for my annual pilgrimage to view…
Babushka Chic
Even I don’t know why I decided to dress like the babushka’s you see outside Metro stations in Moscow selling flowers from their dacha. Maybe it’s that I miss Russia, it probably is. I’ve noticed cottagecore is hugely popular at the moment, but I think this aesthetic is more communistcore. Let’s make that a trending…
Vegetable Garden: Autumn/Winter 21′
Looking back at last years vegetable garden; I can’t believe I was actually proud of it. I made so many mistakes! And grew such sickly plants…So this time around I was determined to learn from my errors. Probably the biggest mistake I made last year was buying cheap crappy soil from Bunnings. Instead of ordering…
Amber Light
When I sat down to edit these photos…my first thought was; why is my hair red? It seems that the orange leaves on this tree created a natural red hued filter and changed my hair colour. Not that I’m complaining, I just find it amusing! And now I know how it would look if I…
Grey Victory Suit
This month every attempt at taking photos has been disasterous. So when I looked through this set and saw that the majority of them came out over exposed…it was scrap the whole set or whack on a black and white old timey filter. So no, none of this was done to be artistic. If you’re…
Autumn 2021
I bought this hat a few years ago with the intention of repairing it. It had a birdcage veil on the front which was shattered, so one of those pieces the vintage community refers to as a wounded bird. The original owner also owned this hat, and I purchased both at the same time. Without…
