natures gifts - lemon yellow in the middle of winter.....





From the local library, not entirely vegan but.....
what a bookcover design.












Jonquils, snow drops and other weeds picked down along the walking trail......




Soon too, the wattle trees will be bursting with winter colour.

The Californian Redwood forest, Victoria.

Row upon orderly row of  trees that don't belong in a native setting, and to my mind just look weird and alien in the victorian rainforest. The first eerie thing I noticed was the lack of life that you normally associate with an understory rich in activity in the surrounding rainforests and no birds were to be seen. 

( THe plantations apparently were used for experimental purposes as part of a hydrogrogy research program dated back to the 1930"s )








Back home today.
Recent project has seen me repair a large cardboard and papier mache frame i had made some 20 years ago. I also created a collage on cardboard to complete.
