Free fruit!

There is so much to love about this photo! In the same vein as posts about s-l-o-w food, growing your own and community farms, one of the results is when things are in season, they really come on in a hurry. I have been lucky enough to make pesto when the basil is in its peak, to receive marmalade and various jams when the citrus is in season. This photo, taken while down in Byron this weekend is also great. Rather than making and baking to use it all up, why not just celebrate our communal wealth and share our produce when you have too much to consume.

Night art on the bridge!

As part of the Brisbane City Council's creative cities plans they have created this new way of promoting some of our local artists as well as highlighting some of he cities classic iconic structures. I love the idea of living with more art in our lives, taking back the nights and engaging with our local emerging creatives- plus, plus, plus!

Pecan parcels

I never knew this was where pecans came from! I love the black and tan colours of this inner shell!

Reflecting on the rain

Sometimes when it rains and rains all I want to do is stay in doors. What I need to remember though is how great it feels to get out in the post-rain freshness, to smell the damp but feel the earth drying out again- and catch glimpses of awesome reflections like this one on the Torbreck rooftop!

Brick detail

There are lots of wonderful details to love about my home in the clouds at Torbreck- here is one little shot of the pop out brick detail of the tower block looking from the garden block balcony.

I'm the king (queen) of the mountain!

Ok, I am officially addicted to the endorphin high of cycling. Exhilarating downhills, exhausting uphills, gorgeous scenery and being able to see it all from 2 wheels powered by you!! This pic was taken on the descent from Mt Mee after our ride out + up the mountain- so beautiful and so close to the city!
