Spinning

Snow days

Me at Mt Baw Baw with the West Gippsland Plains in the distance Riscy took this photo of me yesterday. I think I look pretty glamourous even with massive hat hair… Its those big…

That Winning Feeling

Finding Beauty

Tide and Time

Last week was HOT. And the airconditioning in our part of the building at work died… in fact, it is so dead that apparently it has 10 broken parts which need to be ordered in and…

Quick and Dirty - Jar

Look at those greens, I wish I could sleep in them.

Oh No. My blog has been hiding comments. Again!

Photographs

Um - Let us not show photos of the actual garden

Day Trippers

Temporarily Back to Regular Programming

Black and White

Burnt tree trunk. This tree was burnt during our recent bushfire. It is far from dead though, and will sprout all the way up the trunk. Riscy and I will go back up there in a few…

Internet Friends

Fabric dyed. I’ll use two of theses pieces for the Dredger quilt. The gusty breeze made this shot fun to take. I will need to overdye the dark value fabric as I really wanted a…

Busy Saturday

Today was beautiful. The sun was out, and it was a great day to spend in the garden catching up on all that weeding. Riscy mowed and I commented that the garden REALLY did look…

weekend Continued

After months of discussion, Riscy and I bought an new digital camera on the weekend. Canon 30D Digital SLR. I immediately took many brilliant photos of my leg: I’m not an educated…

Weekend in Melboune

Our weekend in Melbourne was heaps of fun only marred by Riscy having to work on Thursday night so he missed the performance of Theatre du Soleil – Le Dernier Caravanserail…

First Rose of the Season

I ventured into the garden in the fading light this evening and was delighted to find a beautiful rose blooming: E’toile de Lyon is Tea rose, quite an old variety having been…

What a Day

I am exhausted after spending the day in a printmaking workshop with Jenny Peterson at ARC Yinnar. I go back for more tommorow 🙂 I constructed some collographs today, I am full…

No Flash

I’ve been practicing taking photos in low light without a flash. In other words, I finally got the tripod set up. Here are the best ones Sam Javanrouh from Daily Dose of Imagery…

Muckin Around in Photoshop, again.

I had cut snippets of images from an edition of the ArtAlmanac (Byline: Essential Guide to Australian Galleries. $3.00/issue, great value). I assembled the snippets on the bed of…

Photos From Fiji

This lagoon was beautiful. A lovely place to stop for a musli bar and a wee break. I’m not in this photo. I think I was out in the lagoon. Riscy took this photo. It’s my favourite…

Opera, Art, Parades and a Little Bit of Footy

I’m back from Melbourne. We had a wonderful weekend, the highlight for me being the Opera and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. The opera was packed out. We saw Opera…

Flight

A big hello to you from the back seat of the little plane I flew in this morning: New Plantations in the Strzelecki Ranges The flight went well. Although it was a beautiful…

This was going to be a blog with no photos. But...

I decided to show you some photos of our picnic yesterday. I’ve been sewing, but I can’t show you yet, because it is for my swap with Sophie. We decided that since our camping…

Sunday at the Beach

A big day of fishing and sailing in Inverloch Around 4pm the beach was inundated with fishermen. Riscy told me that he saw a rat and it ran up one of these trees. I hate rodents!…

Sunday Pastels

All the skeins so far from my dyed fleece. I’ve decided against knitting this into a vest… the wool is too crispy feeling. I think I crochet it into granny rug squares with some…

Photoshop Fun

Computer innards look pretty fascinating to me. I was admiring an old graphics card today, I love the minature roads and houses and decided to take a photo or two. Graphics Card I…

The Things You See

I had to go to Buchan today (yes it rhymes with the swear word and I get a jeuvenile pleasure from saying it). On the way there is a town with this in the main street: Monument on…
