Weekly Winners

in environmental stuff,weekly winners

Once again it is time for weekly winners “Yay for Lotus”. I have had a really busy week and I have taken a gazillion photos…

On Monday I helped an Echidna, (the full story is here)

I was quite busy with my ceramic work during the week. I have nearly got everything organized for the exhibition *phew*…

Yesterday the Spouse and I went for a drive. Our teenage son is away for a short holiday with my mum and it was really nice just to be out by ourselves.. YAY..

I saw a Sea Eagle perched in a dead tree. Unfortunately my camera just isn’t good enough to take a clear shot. I asked some locals that were fishing  along the beach and they told me that this eagle is there all the time. So when I get my new camera I will go back and snap away joyfully…

Further along the coast we came across some dying trees and once again I was reminded of the quote by Kahil Gibran.

“Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,

We fell them down and turn them into paper,

That we may record our emptiness.”

Then just to lighten the mood I thought this was great…

So that was my week.. How was yours?

And I would have been very unhappy had you not included the bathtubs.

Great shots! The photo where the tree looks like it’s reaching down to the ground (the background is cloudy and bluish) is really great to me. :-)

So much to love!

I love your pottery and can’t wait to see pics of the exhibit! What do you do with it all when your project is complete? Gifts? Big displays in your home?

The trees… and the poem.. ‘That we may record our emptiness.’ Ain’t that the truth!
