Colours of Spring

Today feels like Spring!  the sun is shining and it feels warm outside, the sun on your face and body, thawing the bones out, is wonderful.  I was up at 6.00am, yes not a typo actually 6am and walked the dogs with my husband who is a morning person and I am not.  The morning was still dark, the moon was out, it felt like I was walking at 7pm at night but I had sleep in my eyes and my brain was still fuzzy.  My husband was rushing me out the door, I was only trying to zip up my jacket to save me from freezing, I had a couple of layers on, my leather gloves and my beanie, my husband had board shorts and a thin long sleeved top.  I must say half way around I started to combust and had to open my jacket to let some air in!!

I was glad I had done it but now it is 2pm and I am needing a nana nap zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

These beautiful paua shells remind me of summer, the aqua greens, lilac, teal green, oranges, peaches.  These amazing patters would make a great abstract painting!
