JUNE 12 already

 JUNE 12 i obviously made a start on a post and never finished it. now it's nearly a month since i wrote anything, i'll have a peep at my pics from the past four weeks and see what i've been doing :0)

STILL SWIMMING - most mornings.  it's getting mighty cold but once the shoulders are under it's fine.   such an invigorating thing to do and the company is always great.   and no shortage of glamour

I love it when the

water is like this,

crystal clear and

pale green

these three trees greet me when i turn into Helen street on the way to swim. 
they make me think of three dancing sisters




i'm collecting photos of these trees in the hope they
may become prints one day

this tiny visitor has come in two mornings in a row.  very cute.

first time was monday after the Yacht Club AGM, i attended to meet some of the yachties and find out what was going on.  it was good to see that the Salties are very much considered part of the place and we're included in all their forward planning.  they say they really appreciate knowing that the club rooms are being used on a daily basis by such a positive group.

i went for a drive around the unsealed backroads of Indented Head the other day and the new lambs were everywhere.  lovely eucalyptus plantations too. 

Had a lovely meeting with erica in melbourne to talk about my book ideas and get some feedback from another editor at A&U.  encouraging enough to keep me going. and some tips on what might be needed. I've talked to the other editor since and am working on getting synopses of my ideas on the riverbook, swimbook and bird book.  

I've sent this photo off to officeworks to be printed A2 on 10mm thick board with a black edging.  it's been nearly 3 weeks, still waiting. if it looks good i'll go ahead and book Hatrock Gallery for an exhibition,

THE EASTERN ROSELLAS

i finally had a look in the birdbox - held the iphone over the top and here are unhatched eggs from last year.  now i've thrown a handful of pine needles in the bottom,  hopefully making it easier to sit on a number of eggs, it looks like these rolled down to the edge on the smooth wood base.

the Peasant Prince symphony was performed by the MSO in melbourne  and sunny luke and i took etta to her first theatre experience. then on to the Ian Potter for a look at Grace Crowley.  this screen etta is on had an abstract piece from the show that you could scroll around and enlarge and match up to colours.  etta had a good time, thought the theatre was a carpeted playground i think.  the tubular ceiling lights were a favorite.

Came home to meet Denise and see the Cressida Campbell/Margaret Preston exhibition at Geelong Gallery.  also a wonderful room of Japanese woodblock prints.
