Many shades of Yellow at sunset

I love sunsets and sunrises. They both make the sky and the scenery so spectacular. This photo was taken in Nelson, New Zealand.

my soul expands in worship of the creator."

Missing my Xtremely sweet grand furbaby

With Chappy in Nelson, New Zealand

Loved spending time with my little Chappy. Will look forward to spending more time with him again. Brought back memories of my dogs in my young days and my little guinea pigs. Animals give back so much love.

Early Morning Looking Out The Window

I love looking out the window in the early Wellington morning sipping my cuppa. It's always so quiet and the hills look so serene. This picture was taken a few months ago in the late Summer - early Autumn. The hills are looking greener now in Winter with the rain falling often.

"I look out of this window and I think, this is a cosmos, this is a huge creation, this is one small corner of it. The trees, the birds, and everything else and I'm part of it.
I didn't ask to be put here, I've been lucky in finding myself here."

Vintage Photograph - Going Back In Time

I've been away from my blogs for a long time now and enjoying the Instagram experience instead.

But it is time to blog again. Thought I would change the format of my blog - share my instagram posts and weave them into themes.

I have changed the way I post on instagram by adding a quote that I hope will provide inspiration to others. So will follow the same here.

Sharing a photo of my great grandmother, my grandmother and my great grandfather. Taken in Cairo circa 1910-1915.

Photography for me is not about taking the perfect picture, it's about capturing a moment in time that you can remember forever.

While I had the pleasure of meeting my great grandmother, I did not get to meet my great grandfather but this picture brings him to life for me and brings back fond memories of my great grandmother and grandmother.

"Looking at my own prom photograph reminds me of how significant that moment was - and how fleeting life is." ~ Mary Ellen Mark
