In Lifou - the patina of age

Last beach walk for 2017

Inspired by nature, as always. On my last beachwalk for 2017 I found these items at One Mile Beach at Anna Bay in New South Wales.

Papaya for Breakfast

I don't make it a habit to be photographing my breakfast, but I couldn't help myself with this lovely papaya fruit. It's got colour, texture, pattern and symmetry.  And a nice bit of complementary colours  happening with the orange/pink fruit and blue/green board. It tasted every bit as good as it looks.

Baskets, shells and Gumnuts

An interesting mix of shapes and textures in shells and gumnuts found in South Perth, Western Australia during a visit there in November 2017. The basket belongs to my friend Vicki.

Maritime Magic

A magical day in Freemantle with all things maritme. The W A Maritime Museum was an inspiration.  And the street painted with yellow stripes as part of the Festival of Arts was fun,too.

Inspired by Wabi Sabi

My artist friend, Michelle inspired me with her wabi sabi board on pinterest . I won't attempt to define Wabi Sabi here, but sufficient to say it usually relates to the passage of time or the patina of age.

Autumn berries

These colourful berries caught my eye when I was out on a morning walk
