A Portrait Of The Artists At Work

After spending almost a month of 12-18 computer-hours a day with one teeny midweek-weekend, my brain pretty much feels like this (not to mention my optic nerve, which is creating spectacular phsychedlic shows for my private entertainment!)

Molluscs, periwinkles and the odd starfish create a wonderful ephemeral work of abstract art in a rock pool near Kalk Bay.

Ok, so the last month or so has been hectically full of work - photographic, design, admin, favours, house, garden (oh, my poor neglected herbs & vegies!) - but come bed time I've felt like a kid who wants to keep playing, and, since one of the best things about being a grown-up is that you can stay up as late as you like (the other is being able to eat chocolate for breakfast), I've stayed up until my eyes have taken me by the scruff of my neack and dragged me from the office to my bed at some silly hour. And now it's not just my eyes that are complaining - my body is grumpy about being folded up so much and not being taken for walks!
Of course, having so much that we have to do, we tend to not make time for the things we want to do, until we discover that they are actually things we need to do! Which is part of the reason I started the Pic of the Week so I have a good reason to get out and do something that keeps me sane, happy and healthy every week... well, sort of weekly ;-)

Hope you all get to go out and do something that keeps you sane, happy and healthy... just for you!
