“Blossoming with Age” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © Sitting at the foot of the rainforest covered Great Dividing / Range in far north tropical Queensland is the small / rural town of Kennedy well known for its sugarcane and / banana farming. Some of these farms have stayed in a / family for well over a century (a long time in this area’s / short settlement history) and the buildings and farming / machinery left in paddocks attest to their age. / Having to stop my car at a dead end of a dirt track, I / spotted this treasured farm hand in a far off field. Not / wanting to disturb the grazing cattle nearby nor the ire of / the farmer by trespassing on his property, I shot this / photo from my car. As I gazed on the old beast I thought / how completely peaceful and restful it looked in its bed / of blossoming flowers and canopy of tin, free to while / away its aging years at one with nature. “Old age has a great sense of calm and freedom.” / ~ Plato

“Walkabout” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © Two curious emus walking through the Australian outback searching for food before suddenly eye balling the strange looking photographer. ;) “Old Man Emu / He can’t fly but I’m telling you…. / He can run the pants off a kangaroo!” / ~ John Williamson

“Greeting the New Day” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © Five white tropical water lilies with a background of lily pads. “You must be a Lotus, unfolding its petals when the Sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it.” / ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba
