Well back here again sitting with all these thoughts in my head, wondering how to put them into context so they sound interesting and not a page full of dribble.
Getting up to find that the teenage kids have left a sink full of dishes in the sink, with tomato paste smeared on the bench, my day begins again. Picking up clothes, wiping bench tops putting things away, oh what a fabulous life a mother has.
These last few weeks have made me do some reflecting of my own life and I think if things had been different, where would we be now. We have had two deaths this month, so very, very sad for all concerned. Two very different funerals but both very nice in their own way, a time for reflecting and a time to support those dear friends who need us by their side at this sad time.
In between all the supporting of my dear friend, I have managed to get in some photography time, going from Frankston to Barwon Head and back to my favorite place Torquay/Jan Juc. The weather has been perfect, sun shining high in the sky to produce some of the most spectacular sunsets you will ever see.
As you all know the beach is my happy place, sitting on the sand gives me time to soak up the sea air and just to think of what has passed these last few weeks, whilst snapping away with my camera.
Life is beautiful and I have learned that with taking photographs, I see things in a different light, that boring leaf you see, I see beauty, that lone seashell laying in the sun on the sand has it's own beauty, even if you can not see it, my whole outlook on life has changed and what I see and so have I.
Do not take things for granted, enjoy each and every day to the max for you never know when it will be your last, and never ever forget to smile as you go along your journey of life and even if you don't think it is possible, there is at least one person who cares for you.
Today I sit in quiet reflection, confused and saddened at what has transpired. I struggle with the concept of 'grief' can I contribute something helpful or tangible, it almost seems meaningless. Words have so much power yet in this context they are superfluous and not enough.
So on that note, I will share with you, my photography adventures and hope this makes you smile.
Once again my go to lens is my 24-105mm lens, I don't seem to use my other lens much these days, well unless I am taking surfing photos then I put my huge lens on as people call it 150-500mm.
Both of these shots are taken at different beaches along the Nepean Highway here in Victoria. It is very nice here, but I don't feel the same inner peace as I do when I'm sitting on one of the beaches along the Great Ocean Road, the atmosphere is quite different from both places and photos very different as you will see.
What an awesome way to finish off such a spectacular day.
So as I sit here and reflect on things I've done and a hint of sadness come over me for those loved ones who are no longer here with us on earth, all I can do is offer my support and love for those who grieve my final words are

Barwon Heads (Below)
Jan Juc (Below) with its beautiful crystal clear water as we walked over the slippery rocks to the other side to be greeted by beautiful little rock pools and caves in the sandstone rocks, you could see where the waves had lashed on the side of the rocks to create the most beautiful formations. The surf was awesome and the elusive surfer waited patiently to catch that wave and glide into the shore.
Barwon Heads Sunset, This was the most spectacular sunset I had seen in a long time and the daughter said to her father my beloved, please stop the car, mum must get some photos of this awesome sunset. I had the camera set on landscape mode with the sunset setting on, which made the colours pop, it was so pretty as it reflected below on the water.
What an awesome way to finish off such a spectacular day.
