Bits of my weekend.

My weekend has been quiet and relaxing.
I bought my dress for Mum's wedding. I hope you like it Mum!
Lots of sleeping, falling asleep on the couch and being put to bed on 2 nights!
Watching lots of tennis and crushing on Federer.
Overdoing it at the gym and having a sore knee all weekend.
Doing a photoshoot with Sarah and experimenting with different lighting - lots of fun!
Speaking to a friend about everything she is going through and realising how lucky I am.
To top it all off our favourite soccer ref told me this afternoon that he thinks Tom and are wonderful together.
Made my day.

Here Comes the Sun

Yesterday afternoon Sarah modeled for me all afternoon in and around Norman Park.
She was a very obliging, natural model and it was wonderful practice for me playing in the afternoon sunlight.
For more photos check out my flickr.

In the Bedroom

I love trying to capture moments of intimacy and the true beauty of relationships, family and friends. I took a series of photos of Tom and I fooling around in bed, just cuddling and reading and being together.

Nothing suss of course!

Natural Heart

Found this and had to share for you Mum!
Walnut hearts.

Playing with the Pieces

I saw the surgeon today and got more details than I really wanted about the upcoming knee reconstruction. Feeling a bit anxious and worried at the moment about the pain, the recovery and the money.

But in the 'pretty things that make me feel better' category is this beautiful photo set by Wild Goose Chase on Flickr.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides
