Since Spring


Each time I visit blogspot I'm amazed at the beautiful blogs I see. From vintage photos to works of art to artists books and just moments or scenes captured with a camera. So much thought and time put into sharing lives and interests across the globe.

Today I'm posting images gathered over the last few months. Photos I've taken of places I've been, moments captured, my artwork and a few vintage images that appeal to me.


We had such a lush Spring it was beautiful and so green


The little waterfall I've walked to many times


Some days the colours are just gorgeous


This is such a South Australian scene


Silhouettes and night scenes are my favourite


Dry creek bed after flood has gone


Plate from my grandmother, the only thing I own from her, she died very young


pubs dancing, people, beer, music, wine


Scones and visitors in Spring

This morning I sat outside and drank tea. The sky is blue. I watched the birds. And it felt good!



"You look like a Spanish gipsy, Juanita"
"I love the gipsies, she replied, "and hate being in towns and having to wear stockings,"
"Tell me everything, " I asked.....

Good morning!

Time for my next bohemian blog post. As my week becomes busier I won't have a chance so today I will indulge....



This morning I spent a half hour drinking tea outside. As I stepped onto the as yet unfloored beams of my back verandah the gorgeous humid southern hemisphere spring air hit me.

Today it is good to be alive.

Precariously balancing barefoot on beams, I made my way across to an old couch..also balancing on beams. In our impatience to enjoy our new back verandah we set the couches up before we added the floor!

Already I have enjoyed some bohemian moments in this new space.

This morning
I sat drinking tea
enjoying
the feel of the air
on my skin
Bliss

The sky is so blue this morning.




My place....








Here's a taste of Babette's Feast. A movie that an impressive bohemian lady introduced me to in the 1980's.
