The 26th Autumn Leaf

A photographic journal of my 26th year

Lucy Rip

“You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.” These words by Robin Williams are the inspiration for this blog. Since I found that quote I have been on a quest to find the ridiculous madness in life - the kind that makes you laugh long and hard at its absurdity. I've decided to share my gems of discovery here. A candle loses nothing by lighting other candles and I suspect madness works in much the same way.

A bit about me... I'm a twenty something, living in South Africa. In my spare time I embark on ambitious house decorating projects, bake cookies with my Russel Hobbs cookie maker and hack my way around the occasional golf course. On a more serious note - I write for a digimag called illumin8. Visit www.illumin8.co.za for details or email "subscribe" to illumin8ezine@gmail.com. Its FREE!

The box also contained all of Col's medals and trophies. He won this one in grade one I think!

Col's mom moved house and sent us a box of his stuff. In it we found a tin with this… the flower off his christening cake!

We had a massive storm this evening which cut our power for the night, so we amused ourselves by taking ghost photographs using my new photography-course skills.

This is a sign at Primi Piatti but I think it’s a pretty good philosophy for life as well.

Always a bit of a wind at the coast though – hence the long sleeve peeking out of the bottom corner.

Having spent all our money yesterday we really had no choice but to hit the beach today, despite the weather.
