What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday 165 (WOYWW)

Can you see me??? Can you see me now????

We have fog here this morning, so you might have difficulty seeing my workdesk!

There's not a lot happening so maybe that's a good thing that you can't see?
But then we are supposed to show our workspace warts and all....so here you are....

(Apologies for the poor quality photos today, but as I mentioned the light wasn't very good first thing this morning...but I'm happy to report the sun has broken through now)

I'm still working in the dining room, but I thought I'd show you what happens when you move out of a space for a while...other things take over!
The black bin bags are from my son's room...he's had a clear out of his clothes...there's going to be a lot of happy people at the charity shop with some of these designer clothes...that's the trouble when you grow tall suddenly everything no longer fits!
The towels hanging around are for the dogs...Muffy and Zac have to have a footbath (or should that be pawbath) everytime we return from our morning walk.  Thank goodness this studio has a sink and lots of unit space...perfect for a dog to shake off the excess water everywhere...oh joy ^..^
The lounger cushions have just landed after we had a good day and sat out with a pot bellied fire.
My walking boots are resting by the door after walking this morning...eagerly waiting for their next outing!
In the far left bottom corner you can just see something white ~ this is the basket full of ironing calling my name but I'm not listening.

On another table nearby we have these lemon lovelies....that I'd like to share with you....the freesia's are my favourite flowers :D
The small dish hold grapefruits that some kind neighbour had put in a box on her wall for anyone to take...how kind and neighbourly is that?

And lastly I'd like to tell you about last night.....

I was invited to the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society 2012 Art Exhibition Opening Night.

This is the third year that I've had the priviledge to attend. and yet again it was a fabulous night with some exquisite work on display. It is wonderful to mix with these amazingly talented artists and as you can imagine incredibly inspiring too. If you are interested or have time please take a look here.  

My favourite artists are Herman Pekel and Joseph Zubvic...who do you like?

Lastly, I thought I'd let you see the Kookaburra...he's coming along but slowly.
I hope to finish him later today. I know I've said that before but today I'm determined.
I'm going to do one copy just black and white and then I'd like to draw another with some blue feathers. I'm still contemplating what to do for the background...any ideas welcome.

If you're new to the term WOYWW or just here for the first time and wonder what on earth I'm talking about....then take a look at Julia's blog at Stamping Ground

I'd just like to thank everyone who visited my place during last week...I really love to chat with you even if it is just briefly, even better if you've decided to follow me. Just so that you know...I do a little dance here whenever I see a new follower...so thank you if you already follow me. :D

If I didn't visit your desk I apologise...it's not that I don't want to...it's just I need to sleep sometime, but I will try again this week :D

Have fun desk hopping everyone!

Girlie Getaway...

When I received an invitation to join my friend at her beach house at Point Leo, I couldn't resist. Before the guilt and excuses as to why I shouldn't go set in, I just packed a bag and set off.

The drive was perfect and it was so great to get out of the city to the open countryside.

As soon as I arrived my friend and another girlfriend were standing out to greet me. I was flattered that they were so excited to see me until I realised it wasn't just me arriving. They pointed up into the tree above my car and look who was there.....

Snoozing in the afternoon sun....a beautiful Koala.

Its the first time that I've seen one out in the wild.

There was also a kookaburra laughing nearby....what a welcome.

This was all within the first five minutes of arriving and was worth the drive alone....

Fantastic weather, beautiful beaches, clear cool water, good company - what more could you want?

With hindsight maybe I shouldn't have told you where this beach was situated.....

The sights you see....

Whilst out walking this morning with Muffin I saw three incredible sights each on a different level. The first was beautiful. The second kind of weird and the last just plain gruesome.

The first...

One beautiful pink blossom flower opened with such faith and exuberance that spring is about to arrive. I do hope it isn’t disappointed.

Secondly, and this was rather odd...

I thought it might have been someone's macabre sick idea of a joke. I wasn’t sure if in fact it was real at first (well actually if I’m truthful I’m still not sure). Is it some weirdo’s joke or is it doing some specific job for the waterways like scaring yabbies, carp or turtles or just the local residents?!

I must admit I had to look twice and then yet again to check. Any ideas anyone?

Similarly that is what happened on my third sighting. This one caught me unawares and like a car crash, or a train wreck, I couldn’t drag my eyes away... What is it about human nature that makes us do that?!

A kookaburra having breakfast – rather him than me. He certainly put me off mine.

Vegetarians look away.....

Then to make matters worse I focused on it through the lens! Eek!
