Back with some P52 pics 😬

Still committed to the cause, just haven’t posted them weekly (my bad).

Week 31 ~ Seasonal

A huge persimmon tree towers over my little home.

Both a burden and a blessing.

A blessing for her shade and all the wildlife she calls in. A burden when she gifts me her mess of half rotten fruit and old leaves.

She’s much too big for me to harvest her fruits and by time they fall they are usually half eaten by wildlife and rotting.

But I love watching her move through her seasons.

The bare bones, the new growth, the fullness, the letting go.

She reminds me that there is beauty in every version of ourselves and that we are not supposed to stay in bloom forever.

Sometimes we need to shed to let go. To become bare once more so we create the space to bloom again.

Week 32 ~ Moody

Moody skies and the sounds of the sea 𓇼 ⋆.˚ 𓆉

Week 33 ~ Shapes

The science of shapes and the psychology behind them is so fascinating.

Just as colours altar how we feel when seeing them, the same can be said for shapes.

From curves, circles, squares and rectangles, spirals, lines and many more. The more you observe, the more you see.

I personally seem to be drawn to in-organic free flowing shapes and lines. A pattern I’ve noticed in my craft over the years.

Playing with in-camera double exposure using free flowing human form and beautiful golden light.

Week 34 ~ Recreational

A weekend well spent in nature. I’d forgotten what a beautiful reset camping is. Grandfather fire, Platypus frolicking, card games (soooooo much fun), connecting with nature and just time off the grid.

How beautiful are these deer that were onsite at our camp?

There’s something pretty special about waking up and sharing your space with wildlife.

Fun fact, multiple Platypus is referred to as a ‘paddle’ (cuuuuttteeee).

Week 35 ~ I spy

I spy with my little eye a little w***y wagtail singing happily while watching the horizon kiss the sun for a new day ahead.

There’s something about these little native birds that feels a little bit magical.

In some Aboriginal cultures, w***y wagtails hold spiritual significance and are regarded as messengers or beings connected to

Apologies in advance for my little posting hiatus. It seems to be that time of year again when my social media aversion kicks in😅

Ironically, that’s exactly why this Project 52 challenge exists; to keep me showing up in the online space, even when sometimes I’d rather quietly disappear 🙈

I’m still taking my weekly photos!! I’m just a little behind on sharing them.

Also, here’s my chance to test out Instagram’s multiple captions feature, which I’ve only just discovered 💁🏽‍♀️

Week 27/52 Photo Challenge ~ Historical

A photo of something that holds history.

The Majestic Theatre in Pomona is one of the oldest authentic silent movie theatres in the world.

Built before World War II, it oozes vintage charm. From its beautiful art deco details to the nostalgic atmosphere, it’s the kind of place that transports you to another era.

Such a wonderfully quirky venue (go check it out)

Week 28/52 ~ Winter

A photo that represents or reminds you of winter.

A Queensland winter only gifts us a few short months each year to gather around Grandfather Fire and soak in its warmth.

For countless generations; fire has been honoured by many cultures as a keeper of stories, a carrier of prayers, and a source of purification, healing, and connection.

An element that can be gentle and comforting, like the quiet glow of a candle, yet powerful enough to transform everything in its path.

This winter may we slow down and remember the simple magic of warmth and reflection.

What does winter look like where you are? 🍂🔥

Week 30/52 Week Photo Challenge ~ Homely

What feels homely to you?

Winter means homemade broth. Yummmmm. This Asian gal will never tire of a yummy broth 🥣

Some weekends are just meant for farmers markets and home
cooking.

Week 27/52 Photo Challenge ~ ‘Day to Day’

A photo from your everyday life. A ritual, a routine, or simply a moment that reflects your day. This week’s theme has so many possibilities.

This is my winter altar, created as part of the Winter Womb Temple with Lahlita Natural Medicine

A place where I can light a candle, burn incense, pull an oracle card (I’m dabbling in Tarot at the moment) or just a reminder to take a quiet moment in my day.

Although this altar was created with intention, I realise I’ve been making little sacred spaces for as long as I can remember, long before I even knew what an altar was. Perhaps inspired by my father’s own meditation spaces throughout childhood.

With flowers, shells, feathers, little treasures and whatever I could find, I’ve always loved gathering, collecting and adorning.

And just how little boys love playing with rocks, sticks and fire; the little girl in me has always adorned, gathered, collected and naturally created.

Encoded into us from lifetimes before it seems.

And yep, soz I am behind in posting!

I know I missed a week (will post 2 this week) I could tell myself I’ve failed, or I could give myself permission to simply be human.

I’ve been really behind with work, so editing has taken priority over social media. Last week I also wasn’t quite feeling myself and, if I’m honest, had a bit of a doozy with all the low vibe feels, and that’s okay 👌🏻

I’m blaming the Capricorn Full Moon and the retrograde 👀

Thank you to everyone who’s been playing along and especially to those who noticed I’d missed a week and checked in. It genuinely means so much to know you’re enjoying this weekly challenge 🫶🏻 B x

We26/52 Week Photo Challenge ~ Frame the shot

Framing your shot adds depth and visual interest to your capture 🙌🏻

This beautiful grandfather tree offered the perfect frame for my little mate here, a quiet moment held by one of our island home’s ancient guardians.

We are so blessed to share these lands with such incredible native beings, and the kookaburra’s presence always feels like a little reminder to pause, be present, and find joy in the moment.

The kookaburra is the largest member of the kingfisher family, known for its unmistakable laughter that echoes through the bush.

That joyful call carries a beautiful reminder that laughter can be healing, that perspective can shift and that even through life’s darker chapters there is always space for lightness, connection and joy🪶

25/52 Week Photo Challenge ~ Self Portrait

The muse and the maker in one frame 📷

I have a collection of self-portraits from participating in different photography challenges over the years. A visual timeline.

Each creation a time capsule evoking memories, emotions and the essence of past chapters in life and forgotten stories.

Reflections of this wild ride we call life 🤍

(Also… we’re halfway through the challenge! Wahooo ✨)

Week 24/52 Photo Challenge ~ Phone Photography

Take a photo w your phone. Play around with composition, settings and the editing tools your phone offers. Get arty ✨

Love love loved this art installation ‘Project Worthy’ at Pranafest this year.

The power of imagery. Pixels in place of words.

Pixels can speak a thousand words. I love my craft for this very reason. It holds the ability to evoke.

And as a person who feels everything and wears her heart on her sleeve, the burden becomes a blessing in my craft when I use it as an outlet to express my inner self and soul.

I am soooo inspired by this beautiful display and would absolutely love to shoot this very concept. If anyone is brave enough, please reach out to me. I imagine it would be very empowering 💪🏻

The first photo I took on my iphone and the rest I am featured in are thanks to , captured on her iphone during some fun Pranafest adventures 🍃⛺️🧘🏽‍♀️🤎🔥🍄‍🟫🌙🎤🥁📸

Week 23/52 Week Photo Challenge ~ Silhouette (yep late posting again eeeekkk)

Dark against light to create shape.

I love the duality of the soft of the clouds and the fierce of the Wachuma in this capture 🌵

A reminder from the earth to the sky that both softness and fierceness can co-exist and still be powerful 🤍

Also can you spot the outline of our island home in the gap of the clouds? So cool!

Week 22/52 Photo Week Challenge ~ Skyscape (sorry it’s late again eekkk)

Rainbows are among the world’s most captivating natural phenomena 🙌🏻

Arcs of light that appear when sunlight meets rain, bridging science and spirit.

Across many Aboriginal cultures in Australia, rainbows are deeply connected to spirit, creation, transformation, and the presence of powerful ancestral beings.

Rainbow Serpent stories are held by different First Nation families with similar themes but each unique.

It is believed that the Rainbow Serpent shaped landscape, formed rivers and waterholes, and continues to inhabit natural water sources across Australia.

Appearing across the continent under many names, Rainbow Serpent is understood as a powerful creator that brings life but also enforces Aboriginal Law. Its presence is closely tied to rain, seasonal renewal, and the cycles that sustain Country.

The Rainbow Serpent is said to dwell in billabongs, rivers, and underground water systems.

As it moved across the land in the Dreaming, it carved out rivers, created waterholes, and established sacred sites, making it central to Tjukuṟpa (Dreaming) narratives and Aboriginal cosmology.

In Aboriginal art, these depictions are not decorative, they express cultural authority, custodianship, and deep connections to place.

There’s so much depth to a rainbow beyond its beauty. I’ll forever be in awe of a rainbow skyscape 🌈

Week 21//52 Week Photo Challenge ~ Explore

Pretty much a choose-your-own-adventure for this weeks theme.

Explore a new location, or a new shooting technique. Explore new angels or a new genre.

It could even be settings or menus on your camera you’ve never explored before.

Exploring post surf, the concept of in-camera double exposures but lifestyle edition.

No being strategic with the double, just shooting in the moment and playing w how I can make them more creative in that very moment.

Learning is medicine to our mind and our spirit. May we always be curious enough to keep exploring our capabilities 🤍

My flex is that my grid doesn’t resemble any other.

This statement doesn’t come from a place of ego. In fact; for a long time, I craved the opposite.

Frustration that I couldn’t imitate what I spent hours admiring in others.

Frustration that I couldn’t settle into one genre or style, always feeling the pull to experiment or switch things up.

Frustration because I never truly believed in myself and constantly wished I was more like the people I admired.

Frustration that I came across as confident, yet deep down I was always judging myself.

For so long, I thought the indecisiveness meant something was wrong with me. That it was a weakness.

But as I surrender to all the things that once made me feel smaller; ironically, those same differences now feel like the very thing I have to offer.

A uniqueness within my craft.

I now recognise these attributes as a strength instead of a weakness.

That all it ever meant was that I was following my soul, not trends.

That at the core of my creativity, I was creating to soothe myself… not to satisfy algorithms or chase what was popular.

And finally, I see who I am.

Accept.

And love
🧜🏼‍♀️🤎🌙🪶🍄‍🟫🌊🦅
