Cardboard Real-Estate.

The middle school kids have had a real ball making incredibly creative cardboard real estate; sky scrapers, apartments and other alternative urban dwellings.

Pembroke whole middle school art project

Everyone in the middle school had the chance to participate and put a brush onto this street-scape on the last day of term.

Birthday Treats

Yum...treats fit for an Irish king, perhaps not so well appreciated by the inebriated 18year olds at the party.

St Patrick's day 18th

Grandma Wohling has prepared a green feast in honor of Tess and her 18th birthday on St Pat's Day

Storm approaching

The onset of a storm looking from our balcony over the gulf as it approaches, lashes the city, and leaves us for 11 hours without power. Great for that intimate candle light dinner you always intended having.

Anyone can ride

Boileau Veloadelaide 2

One of the benefits of this ride was the opportunity to ride up the freeway through the tunnels.

Boileau Veloadelaide

Rid options for this race included 50 to 110 km routes up through the hills to raise money for the Smith family. Here we look fresh and enthusiastic before the start.

Gumby mates

Gumby found a friend at last.

Hola Amigo

Some dude at Womad hanging out in his mexican shirt...saved especially for the occasion.

Gumby at Womad

Gumby just appeared out of nowhere...and then was tackled to the ground by a fluffy haired youth...who luckily turned out to be his brother............Tim!

Focus on Womad

Womad is also a platform for focused circus based skill learning with contact juggling, Hula Hooping and Diablo as Jessie will attest.

Dobet GNAHORÉ

A jewell from the Cote D'Ivoire

Transience

The monks spent 4 days creating this amazing sand Mandala and then to show the importance of transience poured the coloured sand into the river and watched it disappear.

Drummers of Burrundi

How anyone can jump this high is beyond me let alone drum at the same time...Amazing!!!!

A laugh is the the shortest distance between two people~Anon

And the best way to start the day at Womad is with laughter yoga! Ho ho ha ha ha.

womad 2012

With perfect weather and a perfect setting, and heavenly music drifting through the giants ficus trees, the 4 days of Womad could only be nothing other than.................perfect.

Morialta back roads.

Fortunately mad March has moments of tranquility as Trish and I found out when we explored new territory in Morialta this week.

Inflatable dolls

The Barrio was rocking on Saturday night as the festival Adelaide Festival kicked into operation with inflated dolls and safari clad comedians leading us on adventures into the parkland.

Parallel Collisions

Celebrating the arts at the Adelaide festival this year is the exhibition at the gallery..."Parrallel Collisions"
Exhibits included the above collapsing mud man, a photographic confusion of a house frame that appears to have fallen upside-down on a mound of gum trees in a paddock, and an underwater surfer movie that twists your mind as you try to work out the conflicting visuals...Well worth a look, and FREE!

Pumpkin prize

And the winner of the best pumpkin at the Uraidla show is............
a giant!

The flower of passion

What a beauty...suitable for its name and delicious fruit.

A little bit of France

The piccadilly valley in the early morning so much like France with it's ready-to-be-harvested vineyards

Koala rescue

I found this oh-so-cute, malnourished, tiny koala baby that had lost its mother. It was just sitting in the middle of the road, so I wrapped it up in my sweater and took it down to town for some loving care and attention. It was snug-as-a-bug in my basket, strapped safely into the car seat. It's now having drinks every 30 minutes to get its strength back up and feeling much happier.

Fringe opens

Rundle Street is buzzing with people and activities as the Fringe attracts crowds from interstate and overseas showcasing Adelaide at it's balmy summer evening best..
