Week 59

L - City by the Sea - This is an early morning shot from Brighton beach towards Melbourne...you can see the city in the distance.

R -Hipster Bike - This weekend I got my new custom bike from 718 Cyclery. Thanks to everyone at the NIH for their kind contribution towards my leaving present I had a great ride to work today but my legs are complaining after a few *cough* weeks off.

Week 58

L - have been looking for these very Jack Purcell Converse shoes for a while...and I found them in an outlet store this weekend for only $48...down from $139! Who doesn't love a bargain.

R - The marathon route goes past the end of our street and and we went to cheer on a few friends who were running. These are the "elite men" who finished in something ridiculous like 2 hours and 10 mins.

Week 57

L - Halloween Cupcakes - Well sadly, I wasn't dressing up for anything this year for Halloween but feeling like I needed to get into a spooky spirit I made some halloween themed cupcakes for some friends that came over.


R - Angel in America - Went for a stroll this weekend in Central Park and went to see the Angel of the Waters at the Bethesda Terrace as featured in Angels in America. So beautiful and the autumn colours were spectacular I'm so glad we went to see her.

Week 56

L - Suburban Silhouettes


R - Halloween's Coming - I've been out and about in the neighbourhood with little D admiring the local halloween decorations. 

Week 55

L - On Your Bike - I was in the city this weekend supporting Shane who was doing a 100km cycle from the tip of the bay peninsula to the city. The weather was not on their side but the clouds did part in the afternoon when they crossed the line. These bikes are actually a new tourist initiative in the city, I think you put some money in the meter and off you go. They are not so popular mainly as helmets are compulsory in Oz but they have no way of supplying them with the bike.


R - Office Daydream - So this is the view from my office window, the photo doesn't really do it justice though. Where I work is really industrial with lots of factories and warehouses, but in the distance you can see all the sights of manhattan, it's really quite the view!

Week 54

L - Holy Cow - Ha this is a fun sculpture in Melbourne's Docklands of a cow stuck in a tree (work that one out?!). We were hanging out at the wonderful Finders Keepers market and after some food and drinks we walked back along the wharf and the cow in a tree was looking just right at sunset. Fun.


R - Brownstone Stoops - I  took this picture last night whilst out walking little D, we live on a lovely street of Brooklyn Brownstones and they all have stoops like these to hang out on.

Year 2 Begins - Week 53

L - Happy Birthday Me! First week of year 2 of side by side. My birthday...32 years young. Because the weekend was so busy I didn't get too creative. But just a quick shot of my cards...to start the year.


R - Rainy Day Fund - packing packing packing and time to cash in the rainy day fund, moving to NYC is not cheap!
