Sky Blue

The theme for this week's A Snap, A Set and A Song is Sky.

My Snap is quite odd, in that I went to take a photo of the pencil pines in next door's yard and this cloud face was right there between them! Can you believe that?

My Set features the prettiest of sky blues. I adore this shade!

Life in One Day

For this week's A Snap, A Set and A Song the theme is Life. I looked around my garden for some inspiration, and decided that the leaves on these yucca plants were shining examples of life.

My set mirrors the greens and golds in my snap,

and the quote about life is one of my favourites:

My song choice is a wonderful, uplifting tune from 1985. This is not the official video for the song, but it has some great stills of Howard Jones. So love the eighties!

A Date with Mr Grey

This week's A Snap A Set and A Song theme is Grey.

A month or so ago I travelled into the city for a teaching course which was held at the State Library. Coincidentally, I had worked there for five years about twenty years ago, and had a wonderful time amongst the books. Then the teaching bug got me and I was away...

The Alexander Library Building is like a big slab of polished stone.

You can go there to rustle through the archives of our state's history.

While looking for a grey outfit for this week's polyvore set, I found this pretty dress which looks a bit purplish but is called grey. So I ran with it:

For my Grey song, here is a song by Skylar Grey. Most people probably know it better as a song by Eminem and Rhianna, but this version is acoustic, haunting and sublime.
