May

May came and brought with it those lovely chilly mornings and warm, short days. I can’t remember enjoying May as much as I did this year. We got out of the house almost every single day, spending hours in the sunshine without the fear of getting sunburnt or feeling too hot. Every morning of our free days I packed a little picnic, and off we went on our new adventures. We spent time at our old favourite places, and we also discovered a few new to us locations that blew us away (like the Green Point lookout at Pearl Beach – how did I just learn about it??). These days are quickly becoming very treasured memories, and I am so grateful for the camera by my side.

In other news, Daniel is now totally and completely obsessed with Star Wars. Keep scrolling for a few adorable photos of the cutest Darth Vader I’ve seen.

Thank you, the month of May, for all these precious moments.

Exploring Somersby Falls together. Last time we were there, Daniel was nine months old, but it feels like it was only yesterday.

May is a strange month. One day it is warm enough to swim in the ocean, the next day you have to get your warm jacket and your beanie out.

My little explorer:May-2018-10May-2018-11May-2018-12

When he sits like this and takes it all in quietly for a few moments, my heart is overflowing with happiness that my little boy knows how to connect to Earth.

The most important part of the babycino is the marshmallow. Of course.

Our little adventures together will become the most treasured memories. That is what I know for sure.

My succulents. They bring so much joy asking for almost nothing in return. I sit with them often, admiring their perfect shapes and their zest for life.

This alley of liquid amber feels is like a magical island of Autumn surrounded by our abundant and lush coastal greenery.

Exploring the coast near our home. We’ve been living here for three years, and I am still pinching myself that this beauty is right on our doorstep. May-2018-33May-2018-34May-2018-35May-2018-36May-2018-37May-2018-38

The last tomatoes before winter arrives.

The Star Wars craze has officially begun in our household. Also,  I do know that Darth Vader’s lightsabre is supposed to be red. He has already asked Santa for it:)
