Excuse me

Have you seen January?

I seem to have misplaced her

While i

Neglected the blog/boggle

Spent a lot of time in the moment

Travelled as far south as we could go

Caught the sky from the bridge

fished unsuccessfully

Fossicked for shellfish and feasted

she sang

cockles and mussels alive alive oh…

Wondered about the history of the place

Now called Cockle Creek

Abundance food and wildlife

Whispers of grand old trees

And strong people watching

Wails of whales as they where massacred in the bay

A sad sad history to learn about

From humorous informative rangers

Learnt about our magnificent giants of the sea

And how to rescue a beached one or many

{remember, call for help, keep warm,  don’t breath in their blowhole, pilot whales are the most commonly beached in Tasmania, put a stick in the ground infront of live ones, keep their tails to the sea until you are ready to release them all at the same time, shade them}

felt impressed that my girl has this appreciation for whales and dolphins, experience and knowledge for the rest of her life now

felt on the right path of life

Took a classic portrait of men and bones

had a whale of a time!

Enjoyed the sea air and the shelter from it

i Got cold but

Jesse finally took the plunge

while Lily had a nature drawing session

I lounged in triggerplant bliss

My head amongst a million pink helpers

the medicine of rejuvenation and restoration

Met young old friends

And had a date up a giant tree

Lily had a lock on

Then we

Grudgingly left

Coaxed on by a berry  good carrot

Drove north

While I processed a myriad of thoughts emotions and responses

And gave thanks for a time of respite

Amidst the chaos of full days

Mostly joyful

With berry/cherry stained lips

Noticed the tiredness.depression link

And went to bed
