a sea of lights in a cafe on the main street of leederville, perth

small tin insect brooches from japan, bought at the lovely store 'distracted' in leederville. 'distracted' is a store that is self described as being 'merchants of fancy'... it is incrediably beautiful in it's detail and careful collection of wares for sale.. it is also a hairdresser, a coffee shop and an art shop...all rolled into one inspiring & detlightful experience

in the gallery at distracted the current exhibition is by sabrina ward harrison. she is a canadian artist who is here is perth at the moment for her exhibition 'true living project' and was a guest at the recent 'dumbo feather' evening

this was a small project about monkey the finger puppet going north on a road trip from brisbane to cairns just after christmas and into the beginning of 2008. there was a lot of rain, a lot of sun too, even a tan along the way...and food seems to feature quite a bit too...monkey seems to always be hungry.

spring has finally begun...the first poppy burst open on monday, the perfect yellow. it was the morning of the first swim too, in very cold water, but such a glassy inviting ocean.
