So yesterday when my neighbour Loris offered me these saffron flowers I was quite surprised to find they were a beautiful shade of mauve. Somehow I had expected orange flowers. We picked them from her garden and she offered me some bulbs, and then at home I plucked the long reddish stamens for drying. Remembering the price of saffron, I got my son onto google thinking that maybe I could retire from my art and design business and just use my future saffron crop to carry me comfortably into old age... then reality hit: I probably had about $10 worth
Sorting out design ideas for tomorrow’s linocut workshop at @westgippslandartscentre
Today’s Pinnacle day walk was about 17km, much of it on beautifully engineered bush paths, steps & stairs which kept walkers on the track, protecting plant species, minimalizing soil contamination and erosion, and enhancing the trail. Never mind that @malteshred and @hen .grant took off their shoes for the descent from the summit on some sort of masochistic challenge. I don’t recommend it - but it really shows how excellent these tracks are.
Countless photographers have stood in this exact spot and snapped these Tidal River rocks. I’m pretty sure I take the same pictures each time I visit The Prom... it’s pretty hard not to take good photos here.
We met some very happy and satisfied sheep yesterday in Hargreaves’ shearing shed. Thank you Greg and Chris for showing us and our exchange student the sheep drenching.

One of the best things about hosting an exchange student is getting out and about to show them all the wonderful places in Victoria like the Grampians.
@malteshred our exchange student on what will be one of his final adventures. The last 9 weeks have been such a blast and I think we may have managed to convert him to Richmond
Even though the weather clagged out once we reached the summit of Boronia Peak I managed to snap this before clambering down
More beautiful linocuts were made at Saturday’s workshop. I wish to thank @westgippslandartscentre and @regionalartsvic for funding this series of workshops which pay homage to the way nature adapts and rejuvenates after hardship. The funding was from the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Community Arts Grants. My students made linocuts representing the charred plant fragments which fall from the sky after a large fire.
