Rays of sunshine in COVID-19 

Dear <<First Name>>

For many Australians daylight savings has now kicked in. A time of year where the extra hours of sunlight bring optimism and hope.

Speaking of hope. At the time of this email hitting your inbox, it appears as though many areas that have been experiencing lockdown for the past few months are about to get some much-needed relief.

In the coming weeks as stores begin to reopen and services become more available, be sure to support local small businesses, enjoy being reunited with your family and friends, and continue to stay safe. 

We hope that this edition of Rays of Sunshine brings some light to your long weekend.  

Share some sunshine with a friend or subscribe to future editions.

Smiles and laughs...

It's called art dah-ling

Checkout & chat

Staying entertained...

Snail mail adventures 

For wannabe explorers of all ages. Letters From Afar are an explorer's tale delivered monthly by mail. A portion of all proceeds is given to a fantastic non-profit called Pencils of Promise, helping access to education.

Rainbow flight

Nature sure is special. This unedited footage of a black Jacobin hummingbird in flight was captured by photographer Christian Spencer in Rio de Janeiro. The diffracted sunlight causes a mesmerising prism effect.
