Our World Tuesday - Heading North

Just back from a wonderful trip up north

to the desert country

there may be quite a few instalments if anyone

is interested

first destination was Port Augusta

but here are  few pictures on the way there

Pink Lake at Lochiel

drinking in the sight of the colourful lake

a wattle in full bloom

the many shades of wonder of the lake and beyond

a rather unfortunate sign

the normal understanding of 'at large' 

usually refers to escaped convicts or wild beasts

an overgrown garden

around a deserted house

that obviously had seen better days

TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Flowers and More from the Workshop Part 2

Rain soaked Wattles, Acacia, along the rushing creek where we
gathered windfalls to dye our paper with.


*
Occasionally a stray sun beam broke through the clouds to
bring the golden wattles to life.
*

*
More of the same with lovely River Redgums.
*

*
The workroom, still tidy as the gang assembles. Some who
frequented art/craft workshops, had brought heaps of materials.
I, on the other hand, only had scissors, needles and thread and
a sketchbook.
*

*
Never before had I stitched random bits and pieces to anything,
the time had come for change as I shed all preconceived ideas
and just had fun.
*

*
We learned map folding and bundling our paper with our gleanings
went off to a luscious lunch while the dye pot did its thing.
*

*
The wonders that unfolded out of the cauldron were astonishing.
My bundle is still intact
*

*
and showed slightly less startling colours.

To be continued . . .
