Happy Thoughts.
Late Sunday. Ladybug hunting. Barefoot and wet hair and remnants of face-paint.
Her shirt says “Think Happy Thoughts”.
How could you not?

Say Something Sweet
Far, far away.
When I say this is a late post, I mean laaate.
Taken in California the first day of not my last trip and not the one before that..but the one before that. Here we have July 2011.
**And while this may appear to be a perfectly relaxed trip to the beach, let me fill in the blanks:
1. The ten minute walk is only ten minutes if there are only adults involved. Add in a few children and allow yourselves an hour. Each way.
2. One Haviana washed out to sea is as good as both.
3. When small people declare they can happily walk the whole way, what they really mean to say is “I will run for 27 seconds then I will stop to pick flowers/practice karate/swing off your skirt for the remainder of the journey.”
There is a reason why this folder of images is named “Dana Point Faraway Beach Excursion”.

Self-Focused, Byron Bay
Do you know what I’ve been daydreaming about? A retreat. In Byron Bay. A gathering of like minded girls, beautiful accommodation, a gorgeous location, that great sushi I keep mentioning. Chatter and music and relaxing with the beach close at hand. And photography. Lots and lots of sharing and learning and capturing of those days together.
So, after months of staring out my office window and imagining, we’re doing it. Come May we’ll be hosting Self-Focused in Byron Bay. I’m so excited to have Hailey Bartholomew from You Can’t Be Serious and our own Fran Mackenzie from Eye Candy Workshops & Luminessence Photography, joining us as guest speakers over four days of wonderful.
As of today, we have only a couple of places remaining. If you’re interested in taking part, you’ll find details here: www.selffocused.com

Skye.
Driving late in the day and seeing a field of yellow flowers and wishing for a camera and a girl in a pretty frock close at hand.
Imagining it in frames and watching it disappear in the rear-view and frowning at the missed opportunity.
Thinking for days and going back and stopping under the “No Stopping Entire Block” sign.
Four minutes, from first to last frame.
This is Skye. Isn’t she beautiful?

Snaps from the other side.
These are snaps from America, taken on the iPhone and edited with Eye Candy and forgotten about until today.
Which also reminds me, if you’re an Instagrammer, so am I now. After a year of being deathly afraid of it (imagining all sorts of randomness my children would upload), I’ve figured it out and am rather fond of it. Now I’m trying to entice the rest of the World to join in..for anyone who isn’t sure..go on, do eeet!
