First ripe figs and limes in 12 years ☺️ #gardenbrag
A great find in the library 😊
So impressed with our incredible young Tasmanian artists @artrage #examinerschoice #doncollege #longgallery #salamancaartscentre #hobart
So these gorgeous flowers had the wrong address on them and were then taken to another wrong address in our street! But I found them!!! 🥰 AND met a lot of bemused neighbours along the way. Thanks Pol - they are beautiful ❤️
So graceful and mysterious
Great to catch the superb exhibition Out of the Everywhen @plimsollgallery before it ends on Friday #jazzmoney
The Empress has new clothes 😊 #anotheroutfitchange #newexhibition #handmarkgallery #hobart
The black swans were very busy yesterday. This was the closest I got to some near Austin’s Ferry! Love any suggestions for closer spots for this inexperienced explorer 😊

This beautiful double rainbow appeared just in time to wish everyone a really happy Easter break! I have no idea why - but they always feel special 🥰
A great night @despardgallery celebrating the fabulous new work of Harrison Bowe - with terrific input from guest speaker Ashley Bird who really drew us into the work with him! #exhibitionopening #despardgallery #hobart
