Instagram photos....I do love them!!!!

I do love my iPhone and the ease and fun in taking Instagram photos.....

These happy snaps were all taken yesterday (Friday) and are just a taste of my perfect end to a very busy work week....

Here is hint of family, work and play, oh and rainbows!!!

These next 2 shots are of a 12m yacht that washed up onto Brunswick beach on Thursday......it was on it's way from The Bay of Islands, New Zealand to Sydney. The three crew abandoned ship in the middle of the Tasman Sea during a hurricane-force storm on October 3rd 2011.....it has been floating and bobbing around out there all that time.....what an amazing story.

It was then craned from the beach and placed on the park across from the club house where I took these photos...

Have a lovely weekend - hope the weather is just right for what ever you have planned.

Would love to know what is going on in your world.....

weekends are just the best, aren't they?

I am very proud of myself....

This weekend I have chosen leisurely, family fun times over the usual "oh I have so much work to do" thoughts that stop me and hold me to my computer and paint brushes. I think the problem is I do love my work and when you have a small business there is ALWAYS something you can be doing. I have just started pinning on Pinterest too which is kinda fun, although I don't really know what I am doing yet besides killing more time and seeing some really beautiful places I would LOVE to go to and things I would LOVE to have or see!! You can follow me if you want.....

Do you fall into this trap too or have you worked out some amazing way of balance?

I woke yesterday morning with a text from a friend asking if I wanted to go for a walk along Brunswick beach...."oh no I have too much work to do." Then a lecture from my 15 year old daughter who's whole life evolves around spending times with her friends...."mum you should go with Cath and get some exercise and go for a coffee."

I am really glad I did, it was gorgeous down there and the coffee was not bad either.

In the afternoon we had to go up to Burleigh Heads so my son could get his scooter fixed. We then went  for a walk/scoot along the beach....it was just perfect weather and their were people everywhere....

A beach walk again this morning...and some leisurely wool painting this afternoon before friends come over for our weekly Sunday roast...

I have also been having SO MUCH FUN with Instagram and just photography in general with my phone...I have become one of those people who take there phone with them everywhere but not because someone might ring me.....No that doesn't happen very often....something might just need to be photographed...

Best go and get onto that painting and please let me know if you have any tips on balancing work and play as it is one of my dreams for the year..

Take care ♥Jo
