Life in the rainforest in March, 2010.


Well we have had the rain...lots and lots.  Everything has grown and flourished and we now need some sunshine.
In the studio, pots are slowly drying and kilns are offering some warm dry spots to dry shoes and clothes.
The Chorissa has had a second flowering and some gorgeous perfumed gingers are flowering.
The faithful Mexican Lime has showered us with fruit in abundance..tea every morning with fresh grated ginger and honey. 
The road in is badly awaiting the repairers who cant come till it dries out.  Cyclone Uluia has crossed the coast so we should see a change soon.  Lots of geckos, skinks and goannas moving around. 
Trees in the forest starting to bloom.  Eucalypts and pioneer species.  Lorikeets shrieking.

One pot was chatting to another......

An artist friend who lives on a mountain in Venezuela.

Here is Nik's painting of a beach.  I can hear the waves.
