Happy Ginger Cat Day..

Happy Ginger Cat Day to all the orange felines out there. Anyone who's had the pleasure of sharing their life with a ginger cat, knows that they are definitely different!

Charlie Cricket is a spicy ginger ninja, often getting into mischief, always adorable.

Charlie had a difficult start to life, he was mauled by a dog at just eight weeks of age. When I went to view him and his brother, the owners kept him out of view. They tried really hard to get me to take his sibling, yet I didn't feel a connection with that kitten.

Then Charlie appeared around the corner, and I was horrified. He was covered in fleas and had wounds all over him.

Charlie scurried up my body and wrapped himself around my neck purring loudly. 

He refused to move.

It's true what they say.

Animals pick their humans.

Charlie had made his choice, it was definitely a help, get me out of here moment.

Needless to say, he was tended to with love and care from the second he was safely in my car.

And since then, he's been living his best life...

I Have To Say...

 I have to say that I was really tempted to purchase this amazing mosaic guitar. It looked like it belonged where it was, I even felt that the random tap seemed perfectly  placed.

 I expect someone will see it and take it home.

It was exquisitely done, I love seeing items that are repurposed with an arty twist...

At The End...

At the end of July I took an amble around Lake Leschenultia, the wild flowers were beginning to brighten the bushland, giving a bright view. It was quite a warm day, perfect for a slow meander, taking time to stop occasionally and tune into the bushland.

I haven't really been to the lake much this winter, which is unusual, normally I am there daily in the gentle months. With the sweltering summer months looming on the horizon, I will be going to the lake for an afternoon dip to cool down, on days when it's not closed for risk of fires. That is one of the most frustrating things about having a lake close by during the summer months, opening depends on the fire rating. Being surrounded by bushland makes this a dangerous spot. With that said, I ought to get back into my daily routine of a lap or two around this peaceful lake...

 

My Time, My Connection...

My Time, My Connection a solo exhibition by Yamaji/Ngarluma woman Nicole Dickinson.

Nicole's works are a journey about places in her childhood, the coastline of Western Australians Midwest, Yamaji Country.

The installation of scallop shells refer to the connection to the ocean her family has. The shells move as you pass by, shifting the perspective on the shells as they slowly twist and turn. 

It was an outstanding exhibition and only Nicole's second solo exhibition. I will be keeping an eye out for future exhibitions...
