new thoughts, new intentions, new year

Hello twenty-ten!

I've been washing away the stresses of 2009 with delicious daily swims in the ocean and discovering the joys of pink (pink!) seaweed.

I think I'm ready for the year of the tiger. Are you?

surfaces

This beautiful surface is of large number of shells (mussles?) clinging to a rock on the ocean's edge. The pinks and browns and the rough surface of the rock are what I really like about it. We found lots of rocks like this on another beach at Wilson's Prom National Park (Victoria, Australia). We're going back next month before it gets cold to hike to Sealer's Cove to camp. I can't wait.

The ocean is an amazingly beautiful thing. No wonder artists of all kinds are inspired by it and are drawn to it constantly. It's so alive and vital and fresh. These wonderful rocks (the shapes amazed me) sit on the beautiful Whisky Bay at Wilson's Prom National Park in south-western Victoria, Australia. Otherwise known as the most southern point on the east coast of mainland Australia. It's a breathtakingly beautiful place with divine, pristine beaches and gorgeous wildlife (we spotted emus, wombats, gallahs and many kangaroos). I hope I can work out a way to incororate these lovely, smooth shapes into a print of some sort.
