So I decided to post a watercolour painting I recently did…

…actually, I lie, but, it had you going for a bit, right?  Still waters, Big Brook Arboretum.

Happy Birthday Karen; may your next year be the best you’ve had, and yet not the best to come.

The many grasses that bind sand dunes together take on a very warm hue, generally, in late afternoon sunlight.  Conversely, in winter, they seem almost morose pinned against a grey sky.

Little fingers, tiny toes
Baby scent, button nose

Little baby, growing tall
I will catch you when you fall
You’ll grow up, now wait and see
One day you’ll be as big as me

You are my life
You are my soul
I’ll protect you
It is my role

Little fingers, tiny toes
Baby scent, button nose

– Alyssa Brooks

Happy Birthday little man, I look forward to seeing who you become, from your first tiny steps through the path of life to the mountains you ascend.

After another weekend sojourn resulting in a few days of missing photos, I’ve returned somewhat refreshed.  A more consistent flow of images to come!

Mist whipped up by late after breezes assaults the cliffs to the north of Salmon Beach, in the D’entrecasteaux National Park.

A last minute freak chance capture of the pink glow of a sunset, shot from my office no less.

City Beach – 24/02/2009

Growing up I always looked upon images of tropical Australia with awe at the colour of the turquoise oceans and palm tree clad shorelines.

Turns out most of the tropical oceans are a milky brown colour and the clear turquoise waters are actually in the southern Indian and Southern Oceans.

Not that it’s a bad thing.  Meelup Beach, Dunsborough in all its glory.

A sullen afternoon looking up from Bennion Beach towards the street.

The earth holds her breath for one drawn out moment as day switches to night.
