sky waves

Remember me? That girl called Chelsea that would take photos and write things no one reads? Well, she's back! I mean, I'm back. Still getting back into the swing of things I guess.

After an unplanned break from blogging for over two months to focus on school work and getting my life back together, I'm here and more ready than I have ever been to put out fresh new content for you all. 

Tonight, the sunset was pretty good. Just look at that divine sunshine diving under the cover of dark green leaves for another night until it greets us with wonderful warm rays tomorrow morning. Woah, poetic much? Even though the sky only glowed a gorgeous shade of red for approximately forty five seconds, I still managed to snap up some lil' shots in between cars driving home in peak hour traffic this Wednesday night. These photos have only gone through the basic stages of editing as I'm still wanting to get a proper photo editing program on my laptop...because, to be perfectly frank, the new version of Photos on Apple computers is really horrible and I can't stand the way it's like editing photos on my phone. 

To the engineers of Apple all the way over in California: I want some professionalism here people not just some light and colour adjustments with a few filters thrown in for fun.

Alright, impromptu rant over. But thanks for sticking by my little space on the internet dedicated to my ramblings and beginner photography. Much appreciated. 

Have a wonderful week and here's to many more blogging endeavours.

armageddon cake

Hello. A few weekends ago, my group of friends and myself ventured out to a little dessert bar in the alleyways of town to celebrate my best friend's fifteenth. It was bucket load of fun and we played multiple games of uno, ate so much cake and laughed a lot. It was an incredible night.

I'll stop talking now and let you look at the pretty interiors and mouth watering cakes but for click here for more information about armageddon cake dessert bar.

wind swept walks

I have had these photos ready to go for simply ages and took them a few months ago back in September. It was a little chilly when we set out for a beach walk on my dad's birthday but it was so calming and relaxing just to walk around the shore, struggling a bit due to the sand, and watching the waves crash in. And we polished our adventure off with a mini lemon meringue pie (my absolute favourite dessert in the whole world) and hot chocolates.

So, how have you been? The holidays are flying by and Christmas will be here is just a few more sleeps - just under a week to be more precise. I wish all the mince pies and festive decorations could last till August and soon it will be socially unacceptable to listen to holly jolly Chrissy tunes. And too hot to venture outside thanks to our marvellous Australian weather (just kidding, summer is my worst enemy). But without being too sad that the Christmas period is almost over, I'm off to finish wrapping up presents for my family to go under the tree and listen to as much of my festive playlist as a can before the New Year.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Much love, Chelsea x

postcard from kyneton

Hey there lovelies! 

I'm back with another volume in my postcard travel series. Since it was my dad's birthday, yesterday my family and I travelled up the Kyneton in the Macedon Ranges for the day. We had only been there a few times and I remembered barely anything from the town so this time we walked around the streets a bit more which was very nice and relaxing.

First stop though was Daylesford about an hour's drive away from Kyneton. We go there quite a bit but had a quick cuppa and snack at their chocolate place over there and briefly walked up and down the main street, in and out of the shops. 

When we finally arrived at Kyneton, and I did feel a tad travel sickness may I add, we went to find somewhere to have lunch. We sat down at the locally pub that was just down the street and I ordered a classic gnocchi dish with sauce and cheese. From there we just wandered around, through both the town central and residential areas. Dad, mum and my sister got something to eat from the bakery there and we ate that near their town hall / memorial site. 

After leaving Kyneton, we headed back to Daylesford and stopped to eat at a local restaurant (who's name escapes me). We ordered a few wood over pizzas and they were so tasty, some of the very best!

Not only is there this photo diary I created but I also vlogged a little bit too. I was editing this morning a video I put together and I'm crossing my fingers that that'll be up on Wednesday some time. 

Today we walked along the beach (post coming soon on that too) and tomorrow I'm going to Melbourne to expect a post and maybe even a video from then as well.

Hope you all have an amazing week and I will see you soon.

Much love, Chelsea x
