A Break Away


 At the end of the silt jetties of the Mitchell River.

Pelicans hanging about.

We've been on a short break travelling to visit family & friends. First to our nieces 18th birthday for a lovely celebration. The next day we went to Williamstown beach to cope with the heat. It was a day to enjoy cool water and read. Monday night and Tuesday we caught up with friends. Wednesday took us to Werribee Open Range Zoo for a guided tour. With my camera battery flat I took my sketch pad and tried to draw the animals. The biggest challenge of drawing is to approach it without fear and do something. It won't be perfect, but it can't get better without doing it. I was okay with what I did in the time I had. Our next place of rest was the Gippsland Lakes and in the late evening the warmth and smell of salt laden air along with the coastal vegetation was the perfect evocation of holiday. Now we're back home and poised to get back into things and stuff.
