We’d walk from Pa’s house to the pub. My dad and he would drink beers, then walk to the ground for the weeks AFL match. He’d sit me behind the #goals while he stood on the hill looking down, so could see me while he and my Pa would swear at the umpires drink more beers then slow walk home. #vss365

Just finished my biggest painting yet ! It’s so bright so colourful so big but I have to wait for it to dry before I can stand him upright or my colours will run 😮‍💨 I can’t wait to show everyone 🤭 #excited #Painting #Artists #WoahHesBig #LikeASong #Art #HesSoPretty #Australia #JustAHint

#BlueSkyArtShow #Bright It may be a bitterly cold #November day, but the last of these #roses give a bright splash of colour against the bare #trees and dull #sky. Taken at Roe Valley Country Park near #Limavady. #flowers #bloomscrolling #EastCoastKin #NorthernIreland #Ireland

Look at these babies all growed up nearly ready to leave home: The Mum has done such a good job she hasn’t left the nest alone for any reason other than food and she’s done it alone. And fought off every bird that tried to take her babies♥️ #Birds 🪶 #Australia #wild #nature #Photography #EastCoastKin

Found who’s been digging up my kumara plantings, big boy can make quite a mess.

Done ! 🤭😭😂 Promise 😮‍💨🥹😁 You should see this next one it’s HUGE and BEAUDIFUL ! #RockinTuesday coz the bottom section of this Bushfire is the charcoal and rock left behind after the fire passes. #EastCoastKin #Art #Painting #Artist #BlueSky #Australia #Photography #Photo

The #issue is the past pulling one back to places where she sits residing in shadows. Waiting to be set free. From pain from sadness from a lack of hope. From wishes, wished for so hard they made her chest hurt. A lifetime spent grieving for the child who’s still searching for the light. #vss365

Sunday,finally a hint of blue amongst all that autumn colour,wet,mud but feels good

Snapped this Brown-eared Bulbul this morning—just in time for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #shadesofgrey and #beakopen. Couldn’t ask for a better match. 😊🪶 なんてグッドタイミング👍 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #Brown-earedBulbul #ヒヨドリ #birds #野鳥

Forgot I’d painted this one a while ago thought I’d show everyone a few pieces I’ve done, my spare room is stacked with paintings. I’m going to have to start selling some to pay for paint instead of relying on Birthdays and Christmas for supplies 😂 #Art #Painting #Australia #EastCoastKin #ArtYear

To stop myself from ruining this when I really need to stop. I put it up on the wall in a room and closed the door. To gain perspective. Not my normal vibrancy. I regret being so hard on him, thinking it was ruined But I really quite like it now😊 #art #Painting #Australia #EastCoastKin #BlueSky

Sunsets on Sundays. #Stunday #Australia #light #Photography #BlueSky #EastCoastKin #Photo #ArtYear #Landscape #sunset

Time slows my walk. Autumn leaves Melancholy they fall russet. Colours drained. Slow fall Whence they sway. Vibrant green gracefully boughed A musical score. Life’s embrace. Tempo slowed Upon chill air Leafless limbed A final winter Inevitable. I feel her calling for me #ClassicMono #Poet #Poem

Maybe when they go. They leave you with the only tangible thing of value that they ever really had. The memory of themselves. #Words #EastCoastKin #writing #Muse #photography #Australia #thoughts #writer #memories #loss #Photo

Feeling prickles under my legs,scent of fresh cut grass listening to our lawnmower churn through the soggy undergrowth while smelling a faint odour of petrol. I’d lie close my eyes transported to far off places seeing stars. Sunshine motes floating within my minds eye along with my daydreams #vss365

There’s no #science to emotion. No explaining it. No way of understanding how muscle and tendon can feel as though it’s bruised or aches. That you can’t quite catch your breath. Yet it’s as though they all begin with your heart. When sadness wells and you’re bereft, surely it must be broken #vss365

Bubby update ! They are beginning to get floofy feathers. It’s been quite a week not my daughter standing guard outside waving her arms at Indian Minor birds attempting to steal them from their nest. They are so invasive they kill all the baby birds😭 #Birds 🪶 #Australia #wild #EastCostKin #BlueSky

So for Rob’s #HolidayRobin here’s a little shy one. Hiding behind the grass. Might add he lost his shy persona when I put some nuts out. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Finally. The weather for this weekend is predicted to finally resemble Spring. Here’s hoping this weekend is a banger for everyone ! Cheers to you all 😊 #Sunset #Scape #Australia #BlueSky #Landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #sky #PhotographersUnited

I swam across. I jumped across for you. Oh, what a thing to do. Cause you were all yellow. #YellowThu #Australia #EastCoastKin #Sunshine #BloomScrolling #PhotographersUnited #Photography #BlueSky

At some point in one’s life the #number of yesterdays becomes greater than the number of your tomorrow's. Cherish the today's. Fill them with joy,seek for that which warms a heart . Until every last one of your yesterday’s blazes so bright that it lights up every one of your tomorrow's #vss365

In #Melbourne today a World Record was set for the most BagPipes playing in concert with each other to #AC/DC Celebrating their music and their concert tonight. Total of 374 pipers turned up to set the record and celebrate an iconic #Australian Band. Brilliant ! #Music #EastCoastKin #Art #BkueSky

Told generational lies Princesses swept away to lives that were enchanting. Fairytales by sold manufacturers magazines, mothers fathers all enabling the #myth That little girls grew to be beautiful fulfilling their dreams and hopes. Only to find them shattered on kitchen floors of reality. #vss365

Good morning, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #paddling birds standing or walking in shallow water. The alternate is #yellow birds with any yellow colouring. I’ve went with paddling and this Little Egret. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Traffic and Pedestrians coming to a standstill out of respect to stand silent in Melbourne today at 11.11.11 for the Playing of the Last Post for those who went to war or never made it home. Lest we forget♥️ #war #Fallen #Australia #Remembrance #families #EastCoastKin #loss #Photography #BlueSky

How do I #measure sunshine in laughter. Warmth from coins held tight in your hand. A crooked smile. The smell of your hair head under my chin as I dry toes wrinkled from time. Sun lighting the soft downy hair upon your face. How do I measure a love so great simply because you’re mine. #vss365 #poet

WIP. No sky or smoke yet but I’m happy with it so far. I’m trying so hard to not over do it as I think it’s my biggest issue. I don’t know when to stop then I get upset, then I trash it and paint something else. So this is an exercise in control for me #Art #Painting #Artist #Australia #EastCoastKin

I’ve left my nest alone as I don’t want to stress the Mum out,but I can see that only two babies have survived. I don’t know if she removed the other baby & egg or an Indian Minor bird ate them while she was out because they have been attacking her nest😢 #EastCoastKin #Birds 🪶 #Photography #BlueSky

He Finished. Ta Da 🎉 I haven’t sealed him yet but when I do it will give it a high gloss finish,deepen the colours making them more vibrant than they already are. I’m a bit in love with this one 😂 #carnival #Art #ArtYear #Painting #Artist #EastCoastKin #Photographer #Colour #BlueSkyArt #Australia

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them. #Photography #Australia #EastCoastKin #grief #Loss #BlueSky #BloomScrolling #PhotographersUnited *Full poem in ALT.

Those residing within #literature taught me that others endured. Importantly that I was not alone, that some had also suffered hardship sadness, loss or grief. It allowed me to exist within their world suffering with them whilst suspending my own even if only for the smallest moment in time. #vss365

WIP. I’m currently working on this one too, doing the under painting to then go on and do dot work over the top. But I like him just the way he is ? So I’m thinking maybe more layering then tiny scattered raised paintwork for emphasis 😊 #Art #Painting #StunDay #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyArt #Artist

I’m watching old people Batchelor and I truly think I’m gunna vomit 🤮 Help me I can’t un see what they be saying . 😭😭😭

#WIP Nearly done ! I think maybe two colours to balance him out and he’s off singing 🎶 Now I’ve just gotta work out what the heck to do with all the paintings piling up in my spare room 😅 #carnival #Stunday #Art #ArtYear #Painting #EastCoastKin #Artist #Photographer #BlueSkyArt #Australia

Her #language was twisted gnarled like a trees limbs, thrashed by the bitter winds that furled forth from her tongue. Standing silent head bowed as sharp edged words battered my face,my hands,my body only to fall writhing with pain at my feet. A story written in terror and shame #vss365 #Story #poem

Orange is #cheerful 🧡 I assign colour and texture to words. It’s an auto default thing my brain does, it sees words in my head like they are coloured maybe it’s why I like some words but not others, because I’m partial to that colour. #OrangeSun #Australia #Photography #BloomScrolling #EastCoastKin
