Stellar even in Monochrome

 

These are the discs I paint.  This is a stellar design and no two are the same.  The ones l painted last weekend are astounding.  I have to photograph these as they are seemingly inspired by the ocean that is very close to me here.

Hand Powered Tools

 

These are meat mincers you attach to the table or bench and you turn the handle with your hand and this is how it was done in the times past when there was no electricity.  These are set for a comeback in society as the price of electricity becomes unaffordable.

Getting Really Ornamental now

 

Ornaments hold the world together not sentiment.  I am joking of course.  Sentiment is what holds the matrix together.  It is the stuff of emotion.

Milk Jug Covers

Milk Jug covers made frantically during a period of intence creativity. I felt possessed making these as well as painting the can lids.

Late Afternoon at the sheds

 

A few days a week  Brice goes and helps Paul move stuff at the sheds.  Paul has been renovating the shop and  he desperately needed another pair of strong hands to move furniture around to re arrange the shop.  Brice needed to do something else to continue with his rehabilitation from the damage of Bellingen and its weak arsed towns people and the past family damage to his life.

No longer will he stand alone ever.  I love the honor this man displays.  True honor too, not the watered down version others like to think they have.  This here is a truly honorable man.  One who did his time honorably and never spoke about others.

Following footprints at Dawn in Urunga

Sometimes I love to take an image of the evidence of nature.  Where nature has been and left her mark.

  

 This time she left her mark in the sand with some great brown wood duck footprints.   The wood duck is prolific around this area of the coast.  The wood duck is Uncle Tom's Totem.  Uncle Tom Kelly is the Gumbaynggirr Elder around these parts.

Food is about the most important thing in the world

And we have about three days worth on the shelves in the shops at any given time.

This is pretty black and white.

Antique car visits Antique Shop

 

What a wonderful specimen of a vehicle of this make and kind.  My first car was a mini minor.  I loved how it maneuvered around into small places and it was definitely the car of my choice.  I got this car when I had been with John ( my children's father) a few weeks back in 1981.

Sadly it didn't like the trip up to the Mid North Coast and died on one of the trips back to Newcastle at the time.  It was my first car though and I will always remember it as such.

Bees in B/W

The Moon is the envy of many who sailed the seas.

 

There are many monsters that we are constantly under the threat of being fed too.

Two Become One - Sacred.

Two rivers combine and flow into the ocean as one.  A very beautiful and powerful site to watch.

The stars are still well evident in the sky at dawn.

Some things are never all just black and white are they?

This is Jesse just a few hours old.  He was born on this day in Auchenflower at the Wesley Private Hospital.   This image above is one of my favorites.  It is just the two of us alone and I had just fed him.  I was feeling pretty wonderful at this moment.    I love him  forever and he is twenty four years old today!

I love his name.  Jesse David William Baldwin... All of those names are special for a reason.  William is my dad's name.  Jesse starts with a J like his father John and Jesse means gift from God.  He is a gift from the stars to the earth. 

He is the whispy little dragon.  I can still smell his hair.

The Night Sky in August

The sky is very interesting at the moment with the moon lining up with various stars and giving a spectacular site every morning before dawn.  The 9th September 2012 is the time that Sirius is closest to us she will be for the next 24,000 years.
