About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

0ver 100 dry days

Perth has just had a very hot dry summer.  Over 100 days without rain combined with countless days of over 30oC temperatures made yesterday's autumnal change a welcome relief. The promised showers eventuated late in the afternoon. The temperature dropped and we had our coolest evening in over three months.  Today the clouds remained together with a few light showers as I wandered among some local artists' sculptures at Deep Water Point in Mt Pleasant.

Here are a few that caught my eye

This was sculpted from limestone and not wood.

These white plastic shapes reminded me of jellyfish with the rain adding to the overall impression. (let's hope I haven't just insulted the artist).

But take another look...........further on
Shades of Anthony Gormley's sculptures on Lake Ballard.

Something quirky and colourful to counter gloomy skies.

There were a number of others that would get my vote so it was worth the Sunday morning stroll.
See what I mean, Jellyfish!
