This is my lovely cat Coco taken just before he was involved in a bad car accident when he lost the sight in his one eye as well as sustaining injuries to his jaw. He has since made a remarkable recovery and his mono-vision hasn’t affected his prowess in th Mouse Catching department either! / Lisa x / !http://images-2.redbubble.net/img/art/border:blackwithdetail / /product:laminated-print/size:small/view:preview/104343-13-coco.jpg!
This is ‘Coco’. She is part of my Chanel Girls series.
For many of us, boats hold a special magic; the promise of adventure, freedom or just a good day fishing. This jukong was resting on the shores of Home Island, Cocos Islands. A calm and quite moment, yet I’m sure this boat could tell a tale or two of the sea, the elements and the people it has carried. Home Island, Cocos Islands, Australia
Public phone Costa Rica – Young school children play with public phones at Playa Del Coco, Guanacaste region in Costa Rica on Independence Day. They used the time of getting / for the parade just fooling around with the phones. Being on the other side of them, I couldn’t resist… / / /

Tucked amongst the trees by the ocean, “The Shack” sums up the essence of the Cocos Islands for me. A hut for surfers, a deck chair in the shade, warm breeze, driftwood, surf and sand between my toes. Well maybe a few mozzies too! Here exists a culture hard to find elsewhere; one of respect, where you can leave your surfboard and towel and come back to it a day later, a month later.

In Dec 1973, my aunty and uncle embarked on two major journeys; marriage and a year long trip to the Cocos Islands. They told great stories of their time there and Gerry painted landscapes that captivated me from a young age. In late 2007, I finally walked the islands that they so dreamily embedded in my child’s mind. Thank you Steve and Gerry!

Coco’s flaming red hair comes in handy when she needs somewhere to store a spoon, park her teacup of show off a flower. She was painted in gouache and pencil for the Brunswick Street Gallery Small Works Show 2008.
This is for Mike, one of the weather guys on the Cocos Islands. Everyday we would ask him what the forecast was, and everyday he would reply “Mostly fine, chance of a shower”! I guess this was the “chance of a shower” bit! Mike is a great guy with lots of wonderful stories from his time spent living all around Australia.

Giant Blue Clams from Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indian Ocean Territories, Australia. The wonderful, luminous colours of the clams make them shine underneath the water. When snorkelling of diving in Cocos they are a wonder to see. The clams pictured above are reared beachside in a large salt water nursery. Visitors to the islands can visit the clam farm and learn more about these amazing creatures. This has been my most successful print to date. It won the Wildlife Category of the Expose Your World Photography Awards 2008 (national) and the Open Colour Section of the York Society Photography Awards 2008 (state), as well as a Highly Commended in the Melville Art Awards 2008 (state) and a Highly Commended in the ANZANG Nature Photography Awards 2008, Underwater category (national) and a Highly Commended in the Jan/Feb Fujifilm Showcase Photography Competition. It has also been published in “Camera Magazine” (Jan/Feb issue) . To take it I leant over the water to drop my shadow over the glare on the surface. Of course, the clams saw me do this and thought i was a predator, so they closed. I stood at an almost 90% angle for several minutes until they opened up again. I managed to take 3 frames before they sensed my movement and closed. Canon 5D, ISO 400, f8, AV MODE, 24-105MM L Series Canon Lens / Handheld, no flash, Auto White Balance. As is from camera.

Pouring rain forced us off the beach at Direction Island and into the shelter of the forest. Our senses were buzzing with the sound of rain and waves, the rich saturated colours and the scent of summer rain. / Direction Island is a much-loved anchorage for yachties, cocos locals and visitors, but no one lives there permanently. We shared it with about 10 people on this particular day. For enquires about canvas prints, or photographic prints larger than Redbubble options, please contact me via bubblemail

West Island, Cocos (keeling) Islands When the tide comes in, an awesome white beach disappears (see Infinity) and is replaced by the prettiest aqua water…rolling, rolling, rolling !! The water is only knee deep, but perfect for floating in. We spotted lots of little reef sharks around here – what a magic place they call home.
