Tilt Train & an artist canvas

Going home on the Tilt Train' I forgot about school holidays so I was very lucky  to get the last seat available  in the very last carriage, I loVe the train trip its a great way to see beautiful Qld. Have lunch, glass of red, chocolate's & a movie & on top of that each side of the carriage is what looks like a large canvas painting of this beautiful country side its something I never get tired of! 

The scenery  from out side the  huge train windows never let's you down' the only problem I have, is trying to capture it all & that's not easy'

 As soon as I put my camera down there it is, the image that got away' the cows on the farm the kangaroos & the farmers on the land, the passing trains & the children waving from up a tree.....

I orders  a pink car must be on the other truck!

Beautiful beautiful.............& more image from this trip home' on there way in next blog & I know you all can't wait! heheeee

Thank you for you'r visit & have a great weekend everyone! 

Artist ''Margaret Olley'' and Me?

So see my grown children its not hoarding' its ART! as Margaret had paintbrushes & paint I have my camera, tripod,lenses and many many cluttered ''things'' that I love & that give me inspiration & happiness!

I know I even hang pictures on the wall that nobody can see ''but I can see it  when I put my coffee down on the little table and that reminds me I  don't have as many tables as darling Margaret had!

Call me Mrs Flower pot ok potty dotty more like it !

 I have collected junky treasure's for ever'  many times I bring in broken junk but 'we' fix it & Like my Chinese Empress who lost her head a bit of glue & all new again priceless! 

              Can you see my sons' sneaky fingers' honestly!

 So you see my husband' I have been telling you for ages you are married to a true artist ''no not a ''nutta' an Artist! so when I say I can not cook dinner to night because I am an artist or I say so' dear you have no clean washing because you are married to an artist, and when the house becomes so cluttered you can no longer find ME remember like Margaret we are both ''wonderful'' Artist! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Like Margaret' I have a great LoVe OF flowers' I cant get enough of them!

So thank you darling' Margaret' Olley  for giving me inspiration to Love what I do & enjoy my cluttered lounge/studio take thousands of more photos  & fill my home with flowers & LoVe  & to live till I am 88/100 & enjoy my life more than 'ever'............Pamela
