curlews and shadows...
Love the shadow dimensions with the curlews too. Beautiful patterns on these birds...like a painter's multiple brush strokes...just a touch...many touches... https://t.co/7grvB5kCRO— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) July 2, 2020

a birthday...
I kinda freaked...I had left a message with student from years ago...What would he think?....Rang my daughter...She was driving...said she would get back to me in 20 mins...to try Facebook messenger call...I did...no answer...Left a message 'I give up + happy birthday anyway'...— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) July 2, 2020
The phonecall... My son did all the chatting...He was wound up about his 'armour' project - protective gear for bike riders (My son is a bit of a mad professor...maybe more than a bit...But this project has lasted longer than most...years actually). He's attracted attention...— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) July 2, 2020
First...I listen and enjoy his enthusiasm...Take a slight detour and ask about his partner and his dog, just so I can get some relief from all the technical details my son shares...And then I dare to ask a question 'What about heat under the armour'? He's off again...I don't mind— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) July 2, 2020
Final reflection... A few years ago, this same son decided to do a marathon bike (pedal this time) ride... the whole of South America from Equator to the southernmost tip...He kept contact by updating blog posts about his ride... For me, that was far more agonising... I think...— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) July 2, 2020

He could have been a writer???...

bush stone curlew chicks?...
They look a little like bush stone curlew chicks... But I have only seen a bush stone curlew once...at Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale a few years ago...I could be way wrong...— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) July 1, 2020
Maria Island...
Great memories of Maria Island...The rock and roll catamaran trip from Orford to Maria and the smooth as glass return trip...all in the one day...And loved wandering the Maria beach with some very friendly Cape Barren geese...They loved the company and the chat...I think... https://t.co/cIZMYea0cX— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) July 1, 2020

koalas on the peninsula...
In January this year...— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 30, 2020
Bid for the peninsula to be first ‘koala shire’.
Manna gums are the koalas' favourite tree. The only areas not suitable for koala tree planting are the Nepean Peninsula and some coastal areas https://t.co/jQRdMuT9Jq https://t.co/kqBVu1Tebi

MORE OF MY POETIC REVIEW https://t.co/VOQbRjTsMw pic.twitter.com/8LjMsH1O1g
Yes ... I weakened when I bought this book...It connected with knitting, which I love but do spasmodically...However, ultimately, the memoir seems too contrived, too self-indulgent even for a memoir...I finally aimed just to finish it and close it...
