I thought a good way to get back into the blogging routine would be with a ‘What ____ Looks Like” post, so here are some images from the few days we spent in Cape Range National Park in Western Australia. It is the most incredible part of the world, and I’m already dreaming of ways to get back there. Amazing snorkelling and fishing, beautiful clear water, perfect weather. One of the days saw the first good rain we had for the whole trip, in the shape of a short but intense storm, but ended with the most incredible light and clouds!

And here are some images taken with the GoPro from the Drone. Cant wait to put together the video footage!!!

 Don’t forget to head over to one of my favs, Kelsey Gerhard, and see her wonderful post about a special birthday. xo

We embarked on this adventure for so many reasons, the main one being to spend more time together. Ben and I were sick of trudging through our days, filling them with work and ever increasing, unwanted stress, never spending quality time together as a family. Existing just to wake up each morning and do it all again. We knew something had to change, so we set about changing it.

We left a few weeks later than we wanted to, as I broke my finger and then got terribly sick, so we had to rush through Outback Queensland a little quicker than we wanted to, as we had bookings at Lawn Hill National Park. Thats where we are now, and it is one of the most amazing places I have ever been!

Here’s our first week in images. A week that comprised of ironing out wrinkles, lots and lots of driving, swimming under water falls, canoeing, hiking and Darcy need ing to find/use every public toilet possible over 2000km’s.

And here are some iPhone images, my most favourite of little cameras. I post most of these to Instagram, so if you’d like to follow our adventure there, I am @el_hogan. Harry and Lily have accounts too, they are @iamharryhogan and @theadventuresof_lilybear

We also bought a DJI Phantom Quadcopter for our journey, which Ben has been practicing and getting better and better at using. Here is a quick video of the sorts of things we’ll be doing. Its very exciting.

This is filmed on an afternoon spent in Lawn Hill National Park on Harry’s Birthday. Not a single soul for miles and miles. A beautiful and spiritual place.

This post is also part of my “What ___ Looks Like” group, so head over to the AMAZING Kelsey Gerhard to see her June!

These portraits were taken on a late afternoon over Easter while we were camping, and I just adore them. I love the light, and their salty skin and hair, remnants of the day spent in the ocean and on our bikes. I love Harry and Lily’s freckles, and the way I can see the changes in them as they grow seemingly before my eyes. And I love that in just a few more weeks, I’ll be spending much more time with them, with afternoons that will look just like this.

Be sure to head over to the Kara May’s wonderful blog to see her month http://www.karamayphotography.com/blog/?p=5411
