All around Bairnsdale we kept coming across these TRAIN BEWARE signs.
They would really have made Jeffrey Smart salivate...i'm told his greatest joy was driving over those directional arrows placed on roads
Rural Australia is so expansive..a few sheep, some people, many magpies and cockatoos and many swallows...not a very space challenged country..

Just arrived back from few days in East Gippsland. Bairnsdale is a beautiful town on the doorsteps of the Gippsland Lakes system. It is a truly scenic jewel positioned between the steppes of the Great Divide and the Bass Strait with the meandering Mitchell River nearby making it's way to Lake King at Eagles Pt near Paynesville
Check out my Travelblog
You can hire a yacht or boat home and travel on the lakes system ..it is just magnificent

Autumn..

I feel sluggish..gluggish

Empty expectations ..dusk is extracted not poured ...its evening from 4pm...

Refracted light and diminished hue herald a winter of dormancy.

Retarded Earth drives through space with his handbrake on...

Hasten my beloved Spring back and deliver your chlorophyll flush...life is on pause until yr return

Restful respite beckons as my duplicitous doona lures me with promises of salubrious slumber....wake me on August 15

Someone asked me 4 mths ago which horse I thought might win Interdom 2005..no hesitation I replied..ELSU
So it was written in stone and he duly won all his heats and strolled in to win the Final...SUPER HORSE
Even though I dont have horses anymore I still have a soft spot for Standard Breds

On my trip through France , I visited a Gallery in Beaune.
Whilst here i first found Taussac's works....I was captivated by his simplistic left handed brush work and how much they reminded of Magadorrie near Pamplona in ESP
Towns on hilltops are majestic and so rural in France and Spain
I think his work is tres magnifique

Cobwebs and Robins...my Dad always said leave a pair of Workboots near your door and intruders will believe there's a man of the house about.

The lack of use might give clue to the fact that hes left or is till on leave..in this case hes gone to God...My Mum Loves those boots..memories I guess
