summerdays

there is nothing like looking back through a crystal blue green wall, with rays of sun streaking through.

The horizon is covered with a hot haze this morning. Awaiting another scorching summer day, feeling like the heat of yesterday has only just faded. The ocean is dark blue with a silver slick covering patches like oil. The beach sand is an orangey yellow. Light puffs of cloud interrupt the blue haze giving a false sense of cool weather, that isn't coming.

Sufjan Stevens

Come on! Feel the Illinoise!

the horizon today...

my new project...

keep an i out

A New Season

I don't deserve a moonlight this bright

All the times i give up the fight.

Under the stars, i have not met

The dream and aim to pass.

I am saved by the sunlight

Given a new breath.

Lifted upon the shoulders

Of the trees at their depth.

The only reason for joy,

This glide upon grace and freedom

The moon is in a new season.

Post Pause...

Well its been a while since i posted...months actually. Here is a little bit of what i've been up to.

Arts

I've been studying a a little bit of glass work, something i have always loved and been mesmerized by. It has been a pleasure to learn from a beautiful local lady, who also appreciates the gift of creativity. I'm learning to slump and fuse glass.

I have been making plates, wall hangings and jewellry and loving theexpectation while i wait for a firing. Glass becomes a new creature after its fired, it becomes even more beautiful.

Here is a piece...unfired.

Holidays

We once again were privileged enough to head north to crescent head for a week during the festive season...it was as beautiful as ever. We surfed, rode, ran, walked, skurfed and swam. Then we ate, drank, ate and drank some more. The pinnacle was a Mexican Fiesta for New Years Eve celebrations. Enjoy some photographs.
