“Seven Swallows Sitting” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © A family of Australian Woodswallows perched tightly together on a wire preening each other against a background of bright blue sky. Bowen, Queensland. “The swallow, bonny birdie, comes sharp / twittering o’er the sea, / And gladly is her carol heard for the sunny / days to be; / She shares not with us wintry glooms, / but yet, no faithless thing, / She hunts the summer o’er the earth with / wearied little wing.”
“S” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © I found this little snake slithering around on my lounge room / floor! After watching him for a while and trying to decide / what to do with him, I thought why not take a photo. I / scooped him up into a plastic container and set it under a / downlight on my kitchen bench which produced these / reflections. Meanwhile my son stood guard to make sure / he didn’t escape before I got this shot by standing on the / benchtop and focusing down into the open container. “Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite / and furthermore always carry a small snake.” / ~ W. C. Fields /

The Penguin Parade is located on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia, only 140 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. It is part of Phillip Island Nature Park. The area is a reserve designed to protect and promote awareness of Little Penguins (previously called Fairy Penguins). The first night I was on Phillip Island I went to the Penguin Parade. Each night at sunset, the world’s smallest penguins, the Little Penguins, emerge from the sea and waddle ashore to their sand dune burrows with bellies full of the days catch. I was amazed at how far they travel from their burrows. The elevated boardwalks and viewing stands allow you to enjoy all the ‘penguin action’ without disturbing them or their burrow homes. / I stayed on the platform and watched them for two hours, getting soaked in rain storms and freezing winds…........was worth it !!! And yes it was Summer LOL / / BTW you are not permitted to take any photographic equipment into the boardwalk/ platform area. This shot however was taken at The Nobbies area on the side of a cliff. The penguins are a bluish colour and are so adorable, was hard to leave. / Jan 08

© C J Lewis, 2009. Oils on stretched canvas 16”x 20”. This painting depicts my love of all animals including humans that leads me to want to reach out and awaken other’s as to the flow of energy in this world of which a lot seem to be ‘asleep’ to the understanding thereof. IN A MENAGERIE In this world it is for you to know / For you to choose as a guide / To follow the right / And not the wrong / For your life to continue on / So look around and go your way / Be fair and not unjust / To love ALL is what we need / To keep the flow / Of life’s long seed / For without love where would we be / But animals in this world’s menagerie. © C J Lewis, 1970 / MCN:C6BEH-48J3K-95R81 Below is the photograph of the tree trunk that gave me the inspiration to create this painting.
