Love Letter #1 Dear Melbourne

Love Letter #1.

There will be more.

A Trip down Melbourne Memory Lane

Do you ever feel like your heart belongs in two places?  

That you have two homes?  

That you belong here....but you also belong there?   

Today, my heart is here in our home in Carterton.  

Yet my heart is also wandering the city streets of Melbourne.....

Cupcake of the Day

I am playing along again today with Sarah over at Faith Hope and a whole lotta Love for Wordless Wednesday.   And with a birthday coming up, have cupcakes on my mind.

A stranger on the ledge

In sorting out my new studio space, I flicked through the (very full) 'to scan' box of polaroids.  And found this.  It was taken on one of my final weekends in Melbourne, down a graffiti laneway.  There was a couple taking photos of each other, and as the girl sat in the ledge, the sun came out.  Normally I wouldn't take the photo - I am rather a shy person.  Maybe the thought of leaving made me brave - I asked if I could take a photo - the light looked so lovely, if a bit harsh, and I just really liked the way she was sitting.  My first 'stranger portrait'.  Although, not really a portrait, but you know what I mean.

A trip down Melbourne memory lane....

Some of the places in the city that hold a special place in my heart.....

in the morning light...

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way.

Say nothing, and listen as heaven whispers,
"Do you like it? I did it just for you."
