Art and Nature

 Have I mentioned recently how much I adore these little fluffy muppets?

We heard there were new walking tracks out at Strathnairn, so we went out to see, starting with breakfast at Cafe Stepping Stone.

And then we went out for a walk with the cnakes. Actually, we didn't see any of those, but we did see the warnings about them.

Strathnairn was previously an art gallery, and it still is, in a new building. There were a couple of exhibitions on (more of which in another post), but we did buy some artwork.

Autumn is definitely here, as you can tell from this avenue beside Lake Burley Griffin.

Anniversary outings

This is the view from my afternoon lunch spot. It's a wondeful slice of tranquility in my work day.

Last week it was props; this week it is set. This is the prototype design of the set for Dead Man's Cell Phone, by the amazing set designer, Cate Clelland. 

And speaking of beutiful design, here is Melantho. Look at those pretty cheeks. 

For our anniversary we went out to Gang Gang cafe for breakfast, 

...cocktails at Beirut Bar...

Blood and sand cocktail

... and dinner at Italian and Sons.

When we got home we celebrated with this great bottle of wine that we'd kept since New Zealand...

...and these two beauties.
