Hooray, it's Thursday, a beautiful Thursday, and a public holiday here in Australia!
So often quite magical and intense colours are seen from our diverse flora and fauna that it is just too exciting for words! A little trip to the local flower shop is also just as awe inspiring where beautiful symmetrical and assymetrical patterns, colours, textures and amazing scents are all there for your delight! Shells on the beach with stunning and intricate patterns, pieces of willow tree that could be transformed into something creative, stunning rolling hills, even clouds! Mother nature has given us an abundance of natural colour palettes and inspiration.
Sometimes just looking out your window, is all it takes to get your next idea, or just to pause and feel very grateful to be here on this lovely earth!
