A magic mushie nestled in pine needles.
Windfall under the sheoaks.
A coastal garden landscaped perfectly by the weather.
So many earthy colours in the one place.
Shipwrecked, and this is relatively mild sea conditions. The ‘Marie Gabrielle’ was wrecked here in 1869 while carrying tea from China to Melbourne. The three-masted French barque was driven ashore at 1am on November 24.
Plenty of green stuff for the animals to eat this year.
This was the start of it and now the apples are all gone with the crimson rosellas getting much more than their fair share. Probably would help if we netted properly.
Each Tuesday morning we congregate in the art department at the Sherwood campus of Deakin University at Warrnambool.
Below is an assortment of alpaca fleece spun by Jill.
Jill decided to experiment with the brown and white plied yarn and dye it blue. These are the results. The verdict is still out.
Jill bought in her Majacraft spinning wheel to show me. She loves it and now it is on my wish list.
Here is Georgie warping up for her first alpaca piece. Georgie is concentrating on lace weaves for her theme.
THE OTHER STUFF
The flower ( not sure what it is) was photographed for an assignment on ‘composition’ for the Photoshop course I am doing.
And these birds are corellas. There are lots of them around at the moment, having a distinctive squawking noise. They also seem to be public enemy number one in many parts of Victoria for the damage they do to crops and the environment.
This is the first of two pinafores I’m making for granddaughter no. 2 who is two years old. I used a pattern from Simplicity, no 5284. I quite enjoyed getting back into the sewing again. However, it confirmed that I definitely need a new overlocker. Another thing to wish for.
One of the many crimson rosellas feasting on the seeds from our birch trees. The same ones that eat most of our fruit before we get a chance to pick it from the trees.
Yesterday was a great weather day – wild and stormy. High tides made it even more spectacular.
This is the pier which usually has a lot more of the pylons showing. People often fish very safely on the bottom jetty.
Seconds after this photo was taken, I went to join Murray to have a look at the bay. We were dumped on by a wave shortly after and got a soaking. Had to go straight home to change and pull apart my camera and dry it out. Soaking in salt water is definitely not recommended practice for camera equipment
I returned in the afternoon for more entertainment. Madey, me niece, came with me. She was keen to go swimming and had her bathers with her. However, I wasn’t too keen for her to do it because I knew I wouldn’t be capable of saving her.
This shows you how windy it was.
Looking across the Bay towards the pier.
