BEST VIEWED LARGER / Thanks for dropping in the favouritings, Comments and Views are greatly appreciated Narrabeen Lakes is a popular paddling spot on the Northern Beaches of / Sydney. The surrounding hills and trees make it quite sheltered. The fact that / it is right next to one of the world’s best surf beaches is an added bonus North Narrabeen lies on the northern shores of Narrabeen lagoon, bounded by Warriewood to the north, Elanora Heights to the west and extends east to the ocean at Turrimetta Beach. Narrabeen is opposite on the southern shore of the lagoon. The first land grants were made to John Lees, 40 acres, Philip Schaffer, 50 acres, and James Wheeler, 80 acres, along the south bank of Mullet Creek. Alex Macdonald was granted 80 acres at the beach in 1815 and west of this land JT Collins had 93.5 acres by 1857. During the nineteenth century travellers had to ford the lake until 1880 when the first bridge opened. A second bridge at the mouth of the lagoon in Ocean Street was built in 1925. With the extension of the tram to Narrabeen in 1913 providing easier transport, the whole area around the lake became popular for holidays and camping. A large camping ground became established on the north shore of the lagoon. In 1946 the Wakehurst Parkway was opened to North Narrabeen connecting the whole Pittwater area directly to Frenchs Forest and Seaforth. The origins of the name Narrabeen are uncertain, possibilities are: Narrabin, a native plant growing near the lake entrance; Narrabine, an Aborigine girl; narrow beans eaten by early explorers. James Meehan mentions Narrowbang lagoon in his survey in 1815. / This shot was taken as the sun sets over the lakes, I am not sure what type of clouds these are but they always remind me of Angels Wings.

~ quote by Dr Seuss ~ It’s been far too hot to go outside these past couple of days, so I’ve been working on improving my patience skills indoors instead. Once again, I used the +10 macro filter for this. I’d be keen to know what you think. :)

The “Inter-Medium” group has set up another exhibition in Sydney – this time as part of the North Sydney Markets` project Changeable Arts. 11 artists/RedBubblers (including myself!!!) are again exploring Sculpture,Painting and Photography – a mix that has proved to be a successful concept since it was set up in the beginning of this year. Please all come along! It is a big event in December as it is the North Sydney Christmas Market with a live funk band in the park, gourmet food and lots of other entertainment – a perfect environment for a present hunt!!! Opening SAT Dec 12th 10-3pm / 220 Miller st / North Sydney 2060 More infos can be found here
The fine water spray on the dandelion seeds remind me of little uncut diamonds and pearls. I used a +10 macro filter for this.
Acrylic on canvas / 50cm X 60 cm / My husband named this one – sometimes I don’t think he takes this whole ‘art thing’ too seriously…hmmm This is the old chook run (‘Chicken Coop/Hen House’) that I used to play in at my parent’s home. Sadly, no chickens have resided here for many years and the place is quite ‘rusty and crusty’ and falling apart. I added a couple of ghostly chickens amongst the nasturtians – it just looked a bit more happy with chooks.

Another construction which has been long in the gestation; the tape measure nailed to the lump of 4×2 oregon happened maybe 3 years ago, at least. It was coming along gradually, providing a canvas to drop my paint skins onto (I love dried paint skins) when Steve’s show came up and everything fell into place. Marvelous what a deadline can do for creativity.
