Childhood Home

...watching Tristan climb the same stairs I once played on, explore the fields and barn of our friends and neighbors right next door, and sit at the very dining table we gathered at each year...

I feel grateful to still have my childhood home in our family, which my oldest brother now owns. There's such a warmth and comfort of being there, as if I've never left...and something so sentimental about watching Tristan climb the same stairs I once played on, explore the fields and barn of our friends and neighbors right next door, and sit at the very dining table we gathered at each year we grew older. We celebrated my nieces 18th bday today (I still can't believe that), and my heart is feeling so full, so thankful, for the family I hold dear.

A Tale Of Two Cities

Seeing these two and realizing they will never fully understand
what a huge role these two places on earth played in the story of this little family.
Two cities that they will never really know, remember nor love like I do,
but I hope to teach them all about it.

Fleeting Flowers

Words & Photography
by Lean Timms



Currently our garden is gracing lilacs out in numbers, bluebells lining the paths and just yesterday our first David Austin of the season bloomed. We are all a bit excited about it - a hot discussion at the dinner table last night. For me, I love the thought that once a year these perennial, seasonal flowers have their fleeting moment, and for all the moments in between, we wait. A reminder that nature is a veracious teacher of patience and appreciation.

...once a year these perennial, seasonal flowers have their fleeting moment, and for all the moments in between, we wait. A reminder that nature is a veracious teacher of patience and appreciation.

This photo was from a moment this past July where I found myself surrounded by Danish peonies in Copenhagen. Peonies definitely test patience - a fleeting flower if ever there was one. Not long until peonies have their spring moment here in Canberra. Just around the corner...

A Little Longer

Just a moment more my sweet little man. Let's just stay here so I can take it all in. Just let me hold onto every moment a little longer before I have to let you go. Because every time I blink it's over and you're a little bit older, a little more independent, a little more all your own and less me. A little braver, a little smarter, a little taller.

Because every time I blink it's over and you're a little bit older, a little more independent, a little more all your own and less me.

So just let me hold your tiny hand a moment longer, let me wrap you in my arms and smother you with kisses once more. Run to me with open arms and smiles and laughter and wide eyes because sooner than I'd like you'll be running wide eyed into the arms of this beautiful wide world.
