My life of travel continues to astound me. It's hard to believe almost one third of this exciting year has passed and an even more exciting period is coming up! The downside--trying to make travel arrangements when you're already travelling! In a very connected world some of the spots we've been have not had the best or easiest internet access for me to keep up-to-date with my blog, with photos, and with organizing the Africa and European segments of the next trip. That's all getting rectified before May 1 when we leave for Africa, I hope!

Since the last blog I've at least got a few small paintings done of some African animals that I hope to see in May and June--just a little prep. I'll try to get photos of them on here when access permits. We've been doing lots of driving, from Melbourne to Queensland and back, in the last 3 weeks. I'd guess we've put another 6000 km on Molly, my little old Aussie Mazda that is still kicking along strong. Along the way we've seen lots of friends and relatives, and explored some new territory too.

Highlights--kayaking on the Kalang River at Urunga, near Coff's Harbour, NSW; spending Earth Hour dining by candle-light on a high deck under the gum trees, with the surf playing on the beach as background music, getting back in the sea and pools along the way. Now it's down to the last 4 days in Australia until next year. Lots to get organized, paintings and art supplies to sort out and decide what to leave here in storage and what to return to Canadian storage until my studio is open in the fall. Sometimes I think it'll be nice to be settling again!

So, just a short posting for today, we'll see you again from somewhere in the world! Until then hope you're following your passions too.
