Of All Places….

The Zoo.  A place to go for “lions, tigers and bears.” Ok, snakes, zebras, penguins and kangaroos, too.     Busy Perth Zoo The crowds are large. Jostling. Pushing. Tapping.     Tailgaters every where. Its not just the roads they’re on anymore. I wonder,  at their big rush… at the zoo. Of all places.Continue reading “Of All Places….”

Impressionist Watercolors

Light. Soft. Delicate. So very “watercolor-like.” Watercolor Florals The approach is really just a bit ‘softer’ than my typical style; verging on the Too Pretty side actually. But.
