I have missed this little girl so much. She’s grown up a lot since we were last together. My baby sister isn’t a little girl anymore and it’s kind of hard to accept. I love her so much that it hurts. Being home hurts. - Polaroid Portraits.

The first of the Polaroid Family Portraits were shot on some expired film that unfortunately was well past its prime.

Listening to this is a different kind of hurt…a hurt that twists up your heart it’s so beautiful. It’s great to hear Wally on the radio again. I love me a little Aussie voice from heaven. Listen to Gotye.

The weary travellers have returned and I have so much to tell you about our little Canadian road trip. Before I do, I wanted to share some Polaroids from one of the most amazing weeks I’ve had in a long time. I feel one with nature like I never have before.

I’m dreaming of…

peaches, plums and nectarines…

low light filled evenings outdoors…

pink and white peonies…

afternoons spent under striped sun umbrellas…

meanderings along sandy beaches…

smelling and tasting backyard barbecues on summer’s eves…

beads a dripping on ice cold drinks…

the warmest hugs from the sun…

celebration of light…

exploring new places on road trips…

cabins by the lake…

What are you dreaming of?

While it swelters at 36 degrees back home in Sydney, I am trying to hold on to the last of the sunshine and warmth that I tried to capture in all my pores on our little trip away.

It’s funny how a week in a completely different mindset can alter everything you were thinking and planning before you left. I feel like I’m floating through space right now and that’s OK because sometimes you just have to let yourself deal with the situation of your present. You have to allow your present to be your real place and stop planning, planning, planning because more times than not, things are never as you plan them to be.

In the meantime, I am excited about:

  • The Canadian’s birthday.
  • Gearing up for the final Lost by watching Season 5 again. Feb 2!
  • Lots more fabulous “What’s in Your Kit?” interviews starting next week!
  • The 2010 Olympics- even if the rest of Vancouver are not.

Oh, what a week I had on gorgeous Oahu. It all went too quickly and I already want to go back. Before I say too much about it, here are a small selection of the Polaroids I took while I was away. I hope you had a great week. I’ll be back with more Hawaii pictures and polaroids.

It sounds like fundraising for a medical condition, but no, it is a whole week devoted to Polaroids on flickr and it’s fun, fun, fun!

All you need to do is this:

  • Grab your Polaroid camera
  • Snap a roid
  • Bask in the glory that is the magic square
  • Upload to the pool
  • Check out all the other awesome Roid Weekers!

I am excited! You should be too! Come back here through the week to see some of my favourite Roid Week shots.
