"Summer" and hello again

Hello! Sorry for the silence around here lately. We've got a lot to catch up on since coming back home. We got through the whirlwind of Christmas and New Years only to get swallowed up by preparations for our sister's wedding last week. It was a beautiful day and all our crossing of fingers seemed to work and the rain went away just in time. A last minute venue change to Vaucluse House also turned out to be a blessing in disguise. All in all it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Surprising since my sister and her fiance were still running around the night before sorting out last minute details and preparations!

Over the summer break we only managed one beach trip (boo) but we did escape up to the Blue Mountains again. From the photos below you can tell I had a lot of fun borrowing my boyfriend's iPhone and macro lens. The scale is hard to translate in these photos as they look just like photos of normal sized flowers but most of these were actually less than 1cm wide.
