coastal times...

Had a brief respite from work the week before last and took the opportunity to visit the parents in their always idyllic home in Ettalong Beach... Sandy seaside walks with Ma, Pa and Dana dog and balmy bbq evenings with a couple o glasses of red...

Also finally had the opportunity to present Mama with her belated birthday present, a commissioned portrait of the family pet, care of talented artist and friend, Grant Molony.

a colombian birthday down under...

My good friend Juan celebrated his birthday a little while back now on a scorching day at Shelly Beach. Vibes were high with smokey BBQ styles, good tunes and a great crew... I took the trusty Kiev 60 with me and cross processed a roll of Provia 100, just to mix things up for a change...

I remember feeling very sentimental about being Australian this day for some reason...

Sea, salt, sunshine and a smokey BBQ will do that I guess!

 No shrimp here... : )

Two of the cutest get together... : )

A visit from Family Quin is always fun filled. This time around it involved stair spills, park times and a hard fought game of Sleeping Lions... Entertainment and the best of times! x

Good lord Anglesea is one pretty place to spend a weekend with four rad ladies...

Some guys have all the luck I guess...

US road trippin... last stop phoenix...

The US sure can be a fun filled place for a road trip... Earlier in the year I spent about 10 days cruising part of the wild west in celebration of Becky Clark's thirtieth year on the planet... Here's a few highlights from our speedy sojourn... 

Our last couple of days were truly a perfect end to a perfect trip. Some shopping, swimming and one amazing sunset! Adventure of a lifetime!

Enjoy...

 White line fever...

Sunshine and swimmin...

 Rolling hills...

 Perfect palms...

 A lot of laughter...

 And a lot of love...

 Thank you Phoenix!

The Grand Canyon is nothing short of incredible. It's so hard to capture the sense of scale. It has to be one of the most amazing natural wonders of the world i've ever witnessed...

Enjoy...

To try and get a sense of scale, check out the tiny dot in the middle left of the photo... That's a freaking helicopter!
