I would have never imagined at the beginning of June how life has changed in only a few months. It certainly has had highs and lows. As my 365 Project reflects - one photo a day every day. The project has sometimes been a challenge to take a photo every day.
Sometimes it is easy, sometimes my shots are planned, but often they are just a quick snapshot or a random shot on my way home from work! But my friend has just wisely said to me - Random shots of a moment in your life where every minute is as special as any other - nothing wrong with that!

I was thrilled recently to be invited to be a Blooming Art Special Guest exhibitor at the floral art exhibition run annually by the Flower Designers Club of Bunbury in the beautiful Chapel Gallery at the Bunbury Regional Art Gallery. I was invited by Blooming Art Coordinator, Eileen Wenn, who is a friend of mine from Spanish dance class, and who is also a world class floral art designer.
Special invited guest exhibitors select a painting from the City of Bunbury Art Collection, and then represent it through a floral display. I have no floral art background or formal arts training, so felt very priviledged to be invited, as well as a little apprehensive and excited.
The painting I chose which you can see below, is a painting by Alisa Small, called Up The Gorge to Tallering Peak. I was attracted to this painting because we had just past through this area on our way south from the Pilbara. I love the rich colours, textures and ruggedness of this ancient landscape and how the colours change with the light. Alisa has captured with her painting what I try to capture with my camera.

Hi everyone, I hope you have enjoyed my last two posts about camping in Karijini National Park in Western Australia's Pilbara region. If you ever come to Western Australia, and have time, you should visit, particularly if you are here around July-August. If you missed the posts you can catch up here - Karijini Camping - Part 1 and here - Karijini camping - Part 2
Today we are back on the road again, heading out of Karijini and heading towards Mount Augustus - the world's largest monocline. But first the town of Tom Price - 108km from the Karijini's Dales Gorge campground. We need to fuel up and buy some fresh supplies for the next leg of our trip, plus a quick email catch up and mail some post cards.
Situated on the edge of the Hamersley Ranges, Tom Price is Western Australia's highest town, 747metres above sea level. Tom Price's economy is dependent on the iron ore industry. The area was only appraised for mining in the early 1960's, so Tom Price is a very young town.

Last week I brought you the first part of our recent Pilbara trip, visiting Karijini National Park. If you missed it you can catch up by clicking here - Pilbara camping in Karijini Naitonal Park
Today we
travel across the park to Joffre, Knox, Hancock, Weano and Hamersley
Gorges and to Mount Bruce.
The Joffre Falls and the Weano Gorge area is about 30 kilometres west of the Karijini Visitor Centre. As we had stayed such a long time at Kalamina Gorge (see last week's post), and, I must admit, the fact that I don't feel so confident about clambering down gorge walls these days, we decided for this trip we would just go to the lookouts of the gorges on the western side of the park. You can't help but be impressed by this awe inspiring landscape. The gorges dramatically show the forces of nature that carved these gorges into the landscape millions of years ago.
