This girl... is sooo ready to fly.

I'm not sure I'm ready to release.

But the days are coming quickly at me.

And I'm running out of time because I know,

I can't hold her back.

So love everything about this capture.

Her free spirit especially, captured on film.

A precious moment captured in time.

Love that, her and her spirit.

Shooting into the light.

I'll never forget this day... 

Kitty and I found a little clearing in our forest.

It was cold and moody but the light coming through was breathless.

I captured some incredible moments on this day.

There is something special about being strategic and intentional

and it's usually when we find our magic.

My hubby always says... "good things happen when you step out of the door".

Today was one of those days.

Trains are a big part of my family history.

Even Digby's family.  Our forefathers used to work the railways.

We grew up hearing so many Railway Stories about life on the rails.

Train commuting was such a big part of my parents and grandparent's life,

taking long train trips up middle-Africa to school.

It was part of English colonialism at it's finest.

It's not as glamorous as that here anymore.

But when I lived in the UK - I got to experience that first hand.

I still love the sound of a passing train, 

and train trips are still one of my favourite ways to commute.

This beautiful tree is in our garden.

And I absolutely love her.  When she flowrs - it's the entire bush in one go.

But her little blossoms only last around 3 days.

She's evergreen and she flowrs all year through when there are little bursts of cooler weather or rain.  Sometimes I walk outside and she takes my breath away when she's unexpectedly completely covered in pink blossoms.

Just a delightful little thing in my life.

My little garden...

It really is a postage stamp.  It's a little wild but I kind of love it.

The trees and bushes are old and the whole property is surrounded by green shrubbery.

I've put little stepping stones wherever I would like to walk and the grass is on and off growing but it's my mission this year to get stuck in there and make her perfect.

It's going to be a big job so I'm going to have to chip away at it.

But for now... she's cute!

Contemplating my year past and thinking about the year ahead.

Hoping that this is a mark of things to come.

To go slower and to take the {time}...

My one word for 2016.

My home away from home... Beautiful Butterfly.

This may always be one of the most precious places on this earth to me.

Not because it's fancy or luxurious but because she holds such dear memories for me.

Of my little family, of sacred precious time together.

Of deep deep love and connection.

Eternally grateful for the stolen moments we have shared together here.

Seriously can't get enough of the water, sea.

Today was incredible.  The sky breathlessly beautiful.

A long walk in this beautiful place.

Deeply grateful.

No words can express how I feel about these two incredible girls.

And this capture.  I have total adoration for both of them!

Capturing time standing still but for a moment in time.

And once again capturing the simple things I love...

Them, walking on the beach, photography, summer, the sea and sand.

Total grateful heart tonight!

I love this man so much!

And I love that we both love the ocean!

This capture captures all the things I love...

Him, the ocean, photography, walking and spending time together!

It's really just that simple.

Nothing makes me happier than walking on the beach.

I could literally keep on walking.

I am sure I will share many beach walks through this project.

It's one of my most sacred things to do to heal... to rest... to restore.

There is something so deeply connected to doing this.

I'm not sure if it's because it's quiet and I can get lost in my thoughts here!

But whatever it is - I need it.

I plan to get walking much this summer!

Today's walk was precious!

I love this beach!

My deep love for old churches.

And spring....

Both feel like hope!

This is a church we drive past everyday!

And it's beckoning us to visit for the longest time.

I am not sure where my great love of old churches come from.

But I'm always looking for them and at them.

I also have a deep love for church bells ringing!

There are many old churches in Cape Town.

I need to make it a project to visit and film them.

Capturing another time and what felt like an older world moment.

I just love this capture so much...

From the banana tree, that dog and that little coffee van.

It just made me so ridiculously happy today!

It felt like I captured a moment

 or something you would see on an island from the 1970's.

Long walk to freedom...

I love walking so much!  I could just keep going!

And I love walking in this place.

It's right in the middle of the city!

But when you are in there...

a spot of heaven.

And I never take that for granted.
