#23 The Birds

I’m joining Becky in her February Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word Odd, referencing one of these definitions: different to what is usual or expected, or strange; a number of items, with one left over as a remainder when divided by two; happening or occurring infrequently and irregularly, or occasionally; separated from a usual pair or set and therefore out of place or mismatched. Look for #SquareOdds.

While we didn’t travel as much as usual in 2021, we were fortunate to enjoy several holidays in our home state of Queensland and one short trip over the border into New South Wales. Join me this month in a retrospective look at the very odd year of 2021. 

Warwick Art Gallery QLD, July 2021

At the Warwick Art Gallery, we came across a flight of ducks winging their way across the wall,

a flamboyance of flamingos basking in the winter sun,

and a parliament of owls, just hanging around.

All made from yarn using different techniques, these kooky birds were part of the Jumpers and Jazz in July Festival.

 Warwick Art Gallery QLD, July 2021

I found a triple treat of floral art in the textile exhibition at the Warwick Art Gallery.

The creator of these pieces, worked in yarn and fabric, must have spent many hours crafting these colourful pieces.
