Revisiting my sculpture, dawn light, micro eco-systems and other fragments

My blog post today is a bit of this and that. Fiona and I had an early meeting this morning so no time for a walk. It was such a gorgeous blue sky day that we decided to take a drive to a nearby town and check my Little Yabba Creek sculpture on the way.

The sculpture was 'opened' in 2017 - I think it is still looking good.

Fiona took this photo of one of the heart stones we embedded into the wet concrete when installing the stones around the sculpture.

This morning was crisp and clear so the city lights were easy to see.

During a recent walk on the terraces we came across this little eco-system

A flock of birds visited the camellias after lunch.

I end with the beauty of a few blossoms and bug

I dud say it would be a bit of this and that.

  3. Gorgeous! That red microplant looks like a magnified coronavirus (only because they're the colours that scientists chose to use when illustrating it!) -- I love it. And the sculpture is looking great.
