scenes : in summer storms

/ this girl, always picking flowers.

/ spotted on my morning walk. Does anyone know the name?

/ beach ready with new toys.

/ from below the frangipani tree, a stormy summer sky.

/ wabi sabi in action.

/ last light (and a onesie rashie or a rashie onesie)

/ sleepy mornings

I intend to cherish this weekend as come Monday, Poet returns to Montessori which means we’re slowly easing back into the full-time school routine. I’ve been walking with Percy every morning – climbing hills to strengthen my hips and reduce the effects of hyper-flexibility….but since school mornings fast approach, I’m going to have to be out the door a little earlier. Gah! I loathe alarms.

See you here for 52 on Sunday x

    We call those a 'Butterfly bush'. Internet trawling suggests they are called "Gaura lindheimeri". I've just planted one in my garden 🙂

    These are truly lovely… thank you for bringing such soft textures, light and colours – with your own eye for spotting and framing them – into our Canadian winter.

    ps – there was a Gaura (or butterfly bush) on my balcony this summer. Delightful, too.

    Hi there, Jodi. Long time reader who has recently started a yoga practice in earnest and I'm wondering what the negative effects of hyper-flexibility are? Why do you want to reduce this? Thanks for your insight.

      Hyper-flexibility around the hips can lead to less support in the pelvic, lower back etc. Combine this with 3 x pregnancies and close to 6 years of breastfeeding (relaxin stays in the body while breastfeeding) and I'm well on my way to having issues with pelvic, lower back, core and hips…unless I strengthen x
