A Little Getaway

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.

There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

– Jawaharial Nehru

Sometimes you need to drop everything and run away.

Where did October go?

After a super busy month full of ups and downs (well, mostly ups, and very beautiful ups, but a couple of downs as well) we needed to peel ourselves from our computer screens and escape the bustle of our Sydney lives to find quiet. Even if it’s just for a few hours, even if you have to drive for over 130 kms to get there. But you know that once you are there you can walk on the red earth amongst the grape vines that are full of  promise of a beautiful vintage. You can take your proper picnic wine glasses out, pour yourself some Shiraz, open the box of gluten-free crackers and rip the foil off the Tasmanian Camembert that you picked up on the way. You can just be.

I took these using my Canon 5D Mark II, 35mm lens (my new best friend forever), and a remote. You know what the funny thing is? I lost the case from the remote back in July. In this particular spot. Then I came back in October, and the case was lying on the ground in that same place, all covered in dirt.  I cannot imagine how many times it was rained on and stepped on, but there it was, waiting patiently for me to come back.

I love Hunter.
