We’ve just spent the long weekend down in Augusta camping at Flinder’s Bay, it is a quaint little town with a pub overlooking a river running into the sea.  It also happened to be the weekend of the annual Augusta River Festival.  We saw some amazing acrobatics put on by some kids that had been doing workshops over the school holiday break.  There  was a stage for the band with a great view overlooking the river and the weather was perfect.

I just realised I’ve inserted these posts out of order….oopsy!  Well I am still new to this blog thing, not sure how everything works.  We went camping for NYE down near Albany at a very special place called Waychinicup National Park.  I had a good three days of wondering around by myself and sketching and photgraphing the landscape, lots of granite, water and coastal vegetation to look at, oh and the swimming wasn’t too bad either!

Well, I’ve been busy capturing some of the day to day scenes around where I live.  Usual haunts include pubs and South Beach.

I’ve just gotten back (well it was a couple of weeks ago) from my first ever trip to Bali.  It was beautiful over there, we stayed in Seminyak in a three bedroom villa with our own private pool, it was heaven!

Here are some sketches I did of our family’s two dogs, they are tan and white Tenterfield terriers and they are sisters.  My sister and I bought them because they were born the day after her birthday….and of course they were gorgeous as puppies and still are now, even as oldies!
