... and with that I had to Google 'how many days until Spring'. Thanks for the inspiration of counting down 67 days.

I'm getting back into painting, this time with acrylics instead of oils. I'm thumbing through some of my many art books this afternoon:

Almost a selfie ... the cameras were just used for decoration (in an accountant's window), but it's pretty typical that I spotted them (and took a picture ...).

Whistlepipe Gully {02} - Mundy Regional Park by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Whistlepipe Gully in the Mundy Regional Park was in good flow when we visited, as we have had reasonable winter rains. By late summer there is a good chance the waterfall will be dry.

We were walking the park as part of Ibu Anne’s training to complete the Oxfam Trailwalker 50km.

Chemin de Stevenson - The Journey Begins - Chemin de Stevenson-2018-02 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

This rather incongruous sign in Le Puy-en-Velay marks the start of our journey walking the Chemin Stevenson (GR 70 Robert Louis Stevenson Trail) in the south of France. Officially the trial starts in Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille but the trail is marked from Le Puy-en-Velay and Le Puy-en-Velay is generally considered the better starting point.

With hindsight we could have spent a day here before heading off on our journey. A beautiful town known for its lace, green lentils and for its green liqueur "Verveine" flavoured with verbena.

We discovered the lace, but not the lentils as everywhere seemed to be serving up crepes.

Day 0 of 12 - Le Puy-en-Velay: Walking the Chemin Stevenson (GR 70 Robert Louis Stevenson Trail) in the south of France.

Dora Octavia Burley 1893–1975 - Fremantle Cemetery by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

The inscription on the stone of plot 57E, Roman Catholic Lawn B Fremantle Cemetery reads:

“In loving memory of our darling mother Dora Octavia Burley, died 2nd April 1975, aged 82 years. Forever near, forever dear, sweetheart.”

Half a nut - either the crows or the squirrels have been at it (I suspect the former ...).

(There's the tiniest bit of camera shake visible at 100%; touch focus and release is the culprit, most definitely - and the awkward squatting position I was in ...)
