Happy weekend! I hope you enjoy it whatever you do. 🌸🌺 · #gardenmagic #lookup #flowergram #croppedbyelle #nikon
Regram from the @garigalgorillas. Follow the link in their bio to have your say on more sustainable and diverse trail development in Sydney's Northern Beaches. The more voices from the MTB community that contribute the better. It'll take you five minutes to drop some pins on a map and/or fill out a short survey, and you can do it all from your phone. Kudos to everyone involved behind the scenes for all their hard work. 👊✌️ · Photo by @bencirulis from a very, very good day out with Ben, @alice_rose_king and @thegayesy. · #garigalgorillas #mtbsydney #sydneymtb #northernbeaches #mtb #mtbgirl #womenscycling #bikephotos #mtbtrails
Harsh summer. Photos 1 and 2: two of the dams at my parents' place this weekend. Keep swiping for the same dams just at Christmas time when they were already low. Everything out here is so thirsty and dry. When brief rain came recently, a lightning strike caused a fire 800m away at a neighbour's place. It was brought into control incredibly quickly given the conditions, with an alert from the @nswrfs app letting my family know what was happening so they could act quickly and make hard decisions if necessary. Feeling for others who have lost so much and deeply grateful for everyone who is fighting hard, keeping others safe and raising their voices, funds and hope. Stay vigilant and stick together. It's our communities, big and small, that make us strong. #climatecrisis #climateemergency #drought #australia #nswrfs
Evenings by the ocean. 💙 So happy for the rain. #reflection #summerrain #brontebeach #sydney #mynikonlife
Thank you to friends and family for all your support and compassion this year, especially over the last couple of months. Grieving involves more laughter than I expected, and I hear my mum laugh with us all often. When time and clear air have aligned cycling has been an enormous help too - time to pedal, process, think, feel, puff, sweat and just to move. Thank you to the beautiful @alexwessling for getting me out of bed at dawn on the recent morning pictured here and to @thegayesy for joining us so enthusiastically and taking this iPhone photo. Wishing everyone all that is good for 2020. Plan for good tomorrows. Relish your todays.✨ · #friendship #bikes #thankyou #onedayattime
Our country is burning. Homes, bushland and lives are being lost, hearts are breaking. I am in awe of so many communities, volunteers and skilled professionals for showing leadership and compassion and so confused about why and how others in power do not. Stay safe this Christmas, look after each other and consider donating time or money to support one of many incredible efforts happening on the ground whether that's fighting fires or responding to the aftermath. Frightening times indeed. Photo from @guardianaustralia. #bushfires #australianfires #nswfires #nswfrs #climatecrisis #climateemergency
