Lyndendale in the winter, Ferguson Valley, Western Australia

Today I am sharing some images from around the grounds of beautiful Lyndendale Gallery along Crooked Brook Road near Dardanup where I have been running a basics photography workshop. Last Saturday was mostly theory, and yesterday afternoon was practical - taking pics around the garden.

Lyndendale is such a wonderful creative, peaceful and supportive environment. Thank you Denise for the opportunity to run my photography workshops at Lyndendale.


How about a sit on the porch?

 I wonder what Miss Muffin kitty cat is looking at through the window?


I love these rustic metal emus on the fence.......Oops! Denise has just told me they are blue wrens! Sorry Denise! and sorry blue wrens for calling you emus! .... well they looked like they had long legs.....oops!



ducks on the dam


By the time I left this afternoon the light was such a beautiful golden and casting wonderful shadows. I took this pic at the front of a property just down the road.


 If you live in the South West corner of Western Australia or are travelling through this way you must go and visit Lyndendale Gallery and see the beautiful artworks on display and for sale from around the South West. Open 11am-5pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 
Here is a link to their facebook page  - Lyndendale Gallery -

Two of the participants in the first workshop came to us through Art Partners - mentorships in the arts for people of all abilities. You can read more about Art Partners and what they gained from the photography workshop by clicking here - Art Partners Bunbury

  4. How do I say that those 'emus' are blue wrens?
    Thanks, Jill, for coming and sharing your considerable expertise. You really inspired those in the workshop. I look forward to many more such workshops - the food one sounds particularly appealing.

  13. Miss Muffin kitty cat ??? Appropriate name for the tiger... ;-)

    Is she a Maine Coon cat? Looks like a muffin, but 3/4 of her is just fur!?!?

    Regards from Germany,

    Uwe.

  14. thank you all dear wonderful readers. I really appreciate you stopping by. I am trying to get to your blogs, my apologies in advance if I don't make it this week. Life here is speeding up and getting a little out of control. I think I need to go and sit on that verandah for a while with a glass of wine and a cheeseboard.

  16. Thank you Jill for this beautiful post. We learned so much from you at the workshop, and clearly, there is a lot more learning that's possible. We look forward to more exchanges with you in the near future.

  17. The property is just gorgeous - they have had some rain I think? The old chairs on the verandah is a lovely shot that shows the character of the place. The creativity of the emus is inspiring. A beautiful look around Lyndendale.

  18. As usual, Jill, your photos are stunning. It's such a beautiful property to photograph. I love the cat and the pic of the other property. You know, if you didn't say they were wrens, I'd think they were emus too.

  20. Jill, I am so sorry, just realizing when I went looking for you on Mosaic Monday and saw nothing yet, never even saw your entry last week. I have been such a mess! This is all so lovely my friend, and looks like such a treat to have visited. That last image that you took with the sunlight, shadows between the tree row and fence line, just heavenly to me...love it! I am letting everyone know, as some have sent messages... I'll be back next week. Having some difficulty adjusting to new medication and old ones, but will in time. Take care Jill~

    1. thanks for stopping by Mary and for your lovely comments. It is good to hear from you. Yes that row of tall trees and the long shadows really struck me as I came around the corner of the road. Sorry to hear you haven't been well. My life has been madness this week, lots of issues piling up, so I have decided to do myself a favour and not blog this week. Hopefully back next week. Thanks for checking on me! I hope you are enjoying the warmer days of summer.
