take it as red


while playing with a bit of reddish dirt
from the back paddock at home just now
i remembered there was still another camera
to download from the Flinders wandering

here's a nice finger painting from the Dogs/Gods above


the image below is from the inside of a curious vessel


used to hoist mud from the bottom of a well
during the construction stage
the little holes are for the water to run out
while the mud and rocks are being hauled to the surface


orange hills in a jewel-like landscape



contemplation of 'labours' at the end of the week...

  1. I am in love with any Dogs above...or elsewhere for that matter...and that seems a very fine bench for contemplating just about anything.

  2. Hope you had a fine nap there. Makes me think a bench would be a fine edition to my outdoor studio. I covet your curious vessel to rust fabric.

  3. the vessel isn't mine, it lives at Wirrealpa
    but
    at least i know where i can find it!
    and Sweetpea, whether it's the Dogs above
    or
    in the Lap of the Dogs
    both a good thing.

  7. Love the mud! In Canada i saw ochre mud, in Kootenay Park, There were small ponds called paint pots, the first nations used the mud as a paint. It was so beautiful to see the paint pots there. Thanks for your tip of polishing the eggs, the're lovely now.

  8. Gorgeous rich red! Pity you didn't zoom in closer to that wash line so that I could contemplate the weeks labours too.
