Erskine Falls, Lorne

We did take one excursion on our restful holiday in Lorne. We visited Erskine Falls. (Check out the very fast panorama at this link!)

It is a very pretty spot. We were there midweek and it was a rainy day but there were overseas tourists there with us. We tend to take our beautiful coastline for granted and forget that people come across the world to see it.























I was taken with the mosses and tried to take some shots of them but, as it was a reasonably dull day, they did not all turn out as I would have liked. However, I have some shots that might provide some textural ideas for my tapestry course next year.



I have all these ideas for art work but that's where they stay, as ideas. But I was encouraged today by reading a comment from one of the members of the Aus/NZ Art Quilters' group. She was lamenting all her good intentions but lack of work, so I don't feel so bad about my low output, I am obviously not alone.

Robert Olen Butler, who teaches writing at Florida State Universtity, says that all our ideas and experiences sink into the 'compost' of our memory and will provide us with ideas at the right time.

So keep those ideas flowing and don't worry if you don't build on them right away.

Thanks Parlance, I think I might have a pretty good compost pile but no spontaneous combustion yet.
