the empty nest

Somewhere in the hills, next to a little town a sign tells you “Exhibition open, welcome”. Just stop here and you’ll find a big field with a little house – gallery under the old oak.

On Saturday we went here to see Kara’s exhibition “empty nest”.

Little nests – egg shells formed from handmade paper were trying to escape through a little accidental hole in the wall to the beautiful and sunny fields.

Little nests and Kara.

How it shoul be called? Street art or a little house in the woods art?

Little house in the woods art 2.

A shed under a palm and the forest.

Sky with stars and full moon in the shed.

We crossed a green field…

…wished Kara a good day and left that magical place.

Swamp on the Highway

Sometimes we find interesting places where we least expect that. This happened on our way via Port River Expressway. We saw a brown sign, that suppose to mark something interesting, so we decided to check that.

At the entrance to the Barker Inlet Wetlands we met this beauty, nothing special, but it’s a good start, we thought. However the territory was fenced and locked for restoration or something like that. All we could do just wander along the fence.

I was expecting that this will be something interesting, but it’s just a wild feral duck.

Great Egret was fishing on the shore.

No good.

You can’t walk along the fence a lot, so we went to one of our favorite places – St.Kilda. It was nearly a sunset.

A couple rabbits were grazing in the field…

… and some hens.

But they were really shy, as always.

Port Adelaide (day)

Port Adelaide is a historical port town, about 10km away form Adelaide centre. Usually it looks deserted like a ghost town, but during the Port Fest we saw some people here. Locals called those days as very busy.

Not very crowded though.

  

It’s a cosy, beautiful place, with the old port spirit. The spirit I miss sometimes in Adelaide.

 

We had a lunch on a bench at the river, watching the ships…

…and dolphins…

… and a bridge.

I’m very happy about this animated photo!
