SALAD I

Photobucket

I realise the pumpkin/ feta/ rocket combination is nothing new, but try adding broccoli and honey and wait for joyous thanks from your taste buds. 

Pumpkin: peel, cut, drizzle with olive oil & roast for around 30 minutes
Red onion, sliced
Broccoli, small pieces
Rocket
Feta, crumbed
Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey & wholegrain mustard

Sautee onions and broccoli in a saucepan for a few minutes (broccoli should still be crunchy), remove from the pan, turn off the heat and in the still-warm pan add about a teaspoon of honey, a generous glug of olive oil, balsamic & mustard, and stir to combine. Assemble the salad and add dressing from the pan.

FLORA

I often get too involved with going through pages and pages of people's European holiday photos, meanwhile forgetting all that Australia has to offer, 'right in our own backyard'. Located on the northern outskirts of Sydney, Muogamarra Nature Reserve is only open 6 weeks a year at the start of Spring in order to "preserve [its] fragile ecosystems and Aboriginal heritage". As I found out today, definitely worth a visit (next year alas - today was this year's last open day), with Pie in the Sky (good enough to rival Harry's Cafe de Wheels) conveniently located right across the entrance for a post-bushwalk treat.

Film shots from a recent assignment where the task was to show how context can change a photograph's meaning.
