A little something from me

a little something from me
April 2013


the wind blew up on saturday
and i brushed
the colours of western port
into the shapes of 
warm wintery blankets
onto off cuts from our 
beachside nest, our home.
all the while 
in thought about
this place
its palette
its texture
and
its nestlikeness
while getting lost.
I noticed a final wash with water is always
needed.
isn't it.

  3. I love the imagery of the land wrapping itself around me as the days grow shorter and colder. I can see the long shadows stretching out across the paddocks in my mind. A beautiful time to go in and relish the sunshine that makes the colours sparkle. Thanks Sarah xxx
