I was mostly focused on not taking photos,
but still managed to snap a few.
It was a nice evening,
a cool breeze but not too cold,
and some awesome fish & chips, and gelato to be had by all.


Sunset in Perth




( Four more. Including, of course, some clouds. )

There was a massive fire earlier this year that devastated the Koondoola bushland,
and unfortunately it hasn't been recovering very well at all.
Still, during our hike, we did find some signs of endemic and local herbaceous natives,
even amongst the carpet of wild gladiolus.
People often love the latter, but it's an invasive pest, and can be legally pulled up.


Podotheca gnaphaliodes along Alexander Drive. Also known as 'golden long-heads.'




( More under the cut. )

They get their own post.
I apologies for the bars that are visible;
they weren't up last time, and they are a photographer's worst nightmare.
But, on the plus side;
African painted dog puppies!





( Romping and playing and puppy piles. )

Phew! Last but definitely not least;
one of my favourite places in the whole world,
even more than all these other 'favourite places in the whole world' that I've been posting.
Currently nuking dinner as well,
cabanossi curry and pasta!


Boranup karri forest.




( Boranup karri forest, where the spirits are generous. )

I have been working on totem illustrations that I can't show you yet because it's part of a super sekrit project that should - hopefully - have sneakpeeks coming soon!
In the meantime, here are the photos from day 3 of our holiday down south.
My art studio is such a mess at the moment.
Honestly.


Canal Rocks




( Conto's Spring and Canal Rocks, where we watched the rain fall on our car and saw a pair of nankeen kestrels. )

On Saturday, Putu, Glen and I went to the Museum of Western Australia
(and then to Korean BBQ)
and then we went home and watched the rest of season 1 Fringe (which is like my 10th time rewatching, but yay!)
Anyway, have some photos.
