I enjoyed hearing about your workshop at Piha and in my mind's eye I can see the wonder of the pohutukawas coming into bloom on that wild and wonderful coastline. Your making of the picture of leaves with Mira was quite inspirational. it's good to see you back in creative mode again.Anne Ruffellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523190649700904037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-40650503522105395182012-11-27T21:31:47.333+13:002012-11-27T21:31:47.333+13:00Thanks Juliet.
