When is a blog not a blog.

Finding one's way through cyber space is like getting a ship past the coast of Somalia.  I am constantly assailed by unknown forces telling me what I have not done  or must do.  Who is the pirate and who is the genuine friend.  It is quite an art to outguess the tricksters.  I will struggle on and hope for the best outcome.

Some sculptures from New Guinea


These pieces were collected  by a young man in Cairns in the 1970's.  They are wonderful examples of a fascinating culture.

Ancient Chinese ceramic houses. Statues of Guanyin,

These wonderful models of houses glowed with a bright jade green glaze.

A sojurn with my daughter.


This last week or so I was fortunate to hang out with my middle daughter in a southern city and we had a great time going to gardens, galleries, antique hideaways and bookshops.  Precious time spent one on one.
Here are some images of different treasures observed.
