002: Summer lovin’ games

I love summer holidays! Lots of hanging out with friends, barbecues, and playing board games. Sadly, I was the second to go bankrupt in this game of Monopoly!

This is the first (and so far only) photo I’ve processed in Snapseed on the iPhone. I like it, but I think I like the controls in Photogene2 better.

031: Pretty ground cover

Yup, more flowers! These ones were taken at Abbotsleigh School for Girls in Wahroonga.

Every year the Archbishop of Sydney gives a series of three lectures at the school, which we’ve been attending for a number of years. If you’re in the area next February, consider coming along!

028: In bloom

These trees were absolutely beautiful when they sprung out their pink flowers… I wish I had taken a photo that did them more justice. I wanted to capture the the cute little arcade in its cuteness, but I fear I failed.

018: Summer sunset

This was at Abbotsleigh School for Girls in Wahroonga. Every year we attend a series of 3 lectures given by Archbishop Peter Jensen at the school.

I forgot my dSLR, but the iPhone camera comes in handy— I used the Camera+ app for this photo.

017: Map to Middle Harbour

There’s a walking path from Artarmon to Middle Harbour, which starts from a railway underpass in Artarmon. There’s always been paintings on the walls of the underpass, but they were recently updated— including this stylised map of the walk.
