Paying It Forward

a great article about a lovely generous local community page i am proud to be part of …..

whatisthehaps | Life enthusiasts talk travel, music, art & culture.

Paying it forward is about people. About people giving to make a positive difference in another person’s life. The concept is old, but lately it’s making a comeback worldwide, and thanks to the power of the internet it’s bringing big communities and cities together like never before. We all know that random acts of kindness canlead to multitudes of good karma, plus with the added benefits of bringing people closer together, helping the environment and making someone else’s day, what’s not to like!?

flower power – walk # 8

“The Earth Laughs in Flowers.”
–  Ralph Waldo Emerson

it’s not easy being green … (# 7)

but it can be yummy, healthy, cute, spikey, shiny, pretty.

daily walk # 7

a paler shade of white – daily walk # 6

it started out “a paler shade of white” but ended up being rainnus interruptus.
stopped in the welcoming shelter of a new fave café for a piccolo latte, hoping the clouds might dissipate,
but instead it got worse and the only thing to do was head home. lots of kitten shots though.
meanwhile we looked like drowned rats.

love # 2

love collected over the past few days including my very first micro/pavement loves.

1. nothing says come in love like a yellow door  2. lichen love  3. love is good for both the goose and the gander (is it bad that i took this shot at an open house inspection?!)  4. gutter love  5. loves lies languishing  6. too much love
7. very fancy love  8. WARNING! love  9. almost … love  10. shabby love  11. itty bitty spitty love  12. breakfast love

 

orange crush – daily walk #5

orange juice, freshly squeezed. Fanta. sunny boys (flavoured ice triangles ALSO my favourite aussie band).
the colour of my unrenovated 70s laminex kitchen bench.
cocktails with orange: harvey wallbanger, singapore sling, mimosa, tequila sunrise.
the colour of warmth, creativity, fun.

here is some orange i collected during 10,000 steps from Marrickville to Sydney Park (and over some hills), King St, pit stop for brekkie and a browse through the art store, down Enmore Rd and home.

looks like love …

a week or so ago i joined a feel-good fb page called ‘looks like love’ … all about finding random love hearts in squashed chewing gum, chips in tiles, leaves, clouds, architectural details, any where and any thing – and posting the pics on the group page for others to enjoy.

i am in awe of the people whose beady eyes spot all the micro loves on the pavement, i only find the more obvious eye-level love hearts. nevertheless it is fun, and an added dimension to the daily walk visual record.

presenting: all the love i found today.

 

purple rain on Day 4 of the new morning walk routine

laughing in the purple rain … a light sprinkle to be honest, and hot hot hot.
so many shades of purple, mauve, aubergine, burgundy, marsala and pink … and a couple of cats,  in Enmore.

i’ve got the blues on daily walk Day 3

blue blue my heart is blue
