Ebb and Flow
One thing I miss living up here in the tropics are the long, lanquid twilight times. And sunsets over the ocean.
Blink, and twilight is over up here - once that sun dips behinds the mountains it draws the curtains immediately and it’s dark.
When I used to walk in the evenings along the ocean path in Perth, I would always make it a habit to stop and watch that glorious golden orb sink into the waves. Lots of others did the same, with loud “oohs” and “aaahs” as the last rays spiked up over the horizon.
Feeling melancholic as I flick through digital memories. That’s a pic of my once local beach, Beaumaris. Endings and beginnings always make me wistful.
2 friends visited yesterday. As we sat on my couch, one asked” So what are you going to do now that uni is over?” Hmmm.
“Well”, I began. “At 5 pm Friday I took off the Full time Uni Student’s hat”. As from 8am this morning, I put on my Artist’s hat.” So it’s offically my new occupation. Sounds strange.Feels weirder.

How wonderful - full time Artist.
Congratulations - I am sure you will find success with your talents.
(There is a place near my brother’s house in Wales called Beaumaris - I’ve been there)
Starting a new adventure. Good luck. I am sure you’ll be very busy with all the exhibitions you have in Cairns. Of course people tightening their purse strings at the moment won’t be very good for selling Art, unfortunately. Hopefully, for all of us the economy will pick up soon.
Hi Doda and Diane,
Yes, new adventures, and not the best economic time to launch them. However, if I waited for the “perfect” time it would never happen!
Thanks for stopping by
Hi Cindy,
You sound a little homesick…..after all the deadlines and stress upon finishing your university course….Put on the artists hat and go for it….you have the drive and the talent..
Kind regards,
Elizabeth
