Some Pictures

Here are a few of the photos I've taken this last week or so.

This ibis found itself right out of its comfort zone:

The urban equivalent of crop circles:

I hope your weekend has been peaceful.

Thinking of the folk in WA and other parts of Australia who are dealing with flood at the moment.

Kipping Cats and other Curiosities

A visitor to my yard yesterday.  Give it a click and make it bigger.... you know you want to.

A couple of pages from one of my journals:

I made some room on my table for....... (ha, you thought I was going to do something creative didn't you?!)

.......the tiger, of course....  I'm no match for her so I go turn the fan up in the bedroom (it was a hot day today) and think I may have a little lie down instead, leave for a moment to fill my glass of water and.... voila!

She even got her foster brother in on the action this time! I foiled any further evil plans concocted by the tiger by heading off to the Design Studio Pop-Up Christmas Market where I bought some lovely Washi Tape from the  n o o k  stall.

 So, as you can see, ultimately a good Saturday was had by all.  I hope yours was just as good!

Speaking of Birds

I think this bird....

Has been spending way too much time with this bird....

Kezia sneaks off with my camera every now and then to take photos of the sunset through our windows:

I saw this today, another spiral:

Tomorrow is Friday, I hope yours is wonderful!

Bird Journals

I've finally finished three more journals.  The covers are made from a fusion of fabric and paper and have an oil-cloth/leather kind of feel to them.  The pages are various, mainly plain, but some printed or painted, papers including water colour paper.  Closed with a leather thong and beads and buttons,  each one has a pocket on the inside, and each one is unique.

I love making these but I prefer photographing flowers and birds and moths than I do my own work!

I hope that so far your week has been a good one!
Please feel free to leave a comment, it is always lovely to hear from people who visit here!

Fabulous Fungi and a Pigeon

 Brisbane is very damp at the moment....

some creatures don't seem to mind

and fungi abounds, even in my own yard.

Happy Monday.

Hanging in there

These photos are from a walk along the Corso last weekend when the weather was fine.

Ferns and other plants growing out of brick walls always arrest and intrigue me:

And grasses up close are pretty miraculous:

There is something egocentric about roses:

If you click on this and make it larger maybe you will see what inspired me.  It made me think about both the strength and the tenuousness of our connection with the earth:

What a lovely nape:

or two....
