Welcome To Cottesloe

 
To some seagulls are a pest  - to me they symbolize holiday....
This is Cottesloe.
Dear friend Grace picked me up and we met Monday-host and dear friend Sami for Sculpture by the Sea this March. 
This, as many events in the Perth-area is for free, you pay only if you want (we sure did, as likely everybody, I love this idea).
 

 Well, humans, animals, we´re all critters, don´t you think?
OK, these are sculptures, of course... 
 
 
What are you ashamed of? 
I remember a fellow student. Swimming lessons. "She" always went with her Mom to a single room to change into swimming clothes. Boy... girl, kinda both. Hope this person found a way to be happy.
With this I´d like to join...
 


 Eileen, of course.
 
Henry 🦁 sends my friend´s cat for a hello:
 

Max turns 19, if I am correct, soon. A skinny, sleepy Grandpa.
To family, to critters.
More sculptures on the way, of course! 

Weather is un-summerly still. Glad we had Perth this year. I dreamed tonight of all the holidays we were happy to take... in summerly weather.

Addendum, as Tom let us know today is Barber Shop Appreciation Day - and I had no idea of this genre, let me share this:


Isn´t that wonderful? Funny? Wonder if they have pocket-watches in there, attached to the chains?
My Dad was also a watch maker... and he´d loved this!

LOVE the sculptures. Stunning.

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, you would not want to listen or even hear me singing ;-)
Max thinks "hi" back, too.

Hello Iris,
I would like to see the sculptures by the sea. Great capture of the gulls.
The reflection sculpture is fun. Max is a cutie. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Good morning Iris, I love those sculptures and that reflection ball is pretty cool too. I was only at a beach a few times during my younger years and was fun for me to watch the sea gulls and those little birds that run on the sand up and back from the waves.
hugs for kitty
It is early morning here and it is thunder and lightening - again with lots more rain coming in. Happy new week hugs from the lake

Love the sculptures, Iris. I always looked forward to Grace's posts from this event.
Max looks like a happy cat.

Iris Flavia said...

Ask Grace to get back to blogging?
Yes, Max is a happy family member.

Granny Sue said...

Great sculptures here. I am sorry your summer is not happening, and would gladly share some of our heat with you!
My uncle and his sons sang barbershop and were very good.

Seagulls scream beach. They are fun to watch though you have to keep an eye on your sandwich and chips (crisps)

Bill said...

Love those sculptures and Max is looking relaxed. I guess if you live long enough, relaxing becomes important. A nice weekend to you, Iris.

Cottesoe looks wonderful. I'll see it for myself one day.
I didn't like that song, I kept waiting for it to end and finally stopped it at 6 minutes. I'd had enough.

Bertiebo said...

I really love that music. Listened while having breakfast. And I like that old cat too!

Iris Flavia said...

Sue, thank you, if only we could exchange temps and weather! Or beaming and visit each other!
And listen to your barbershop-family!

Bertiebo, it´s easy, fun music to occupy you at breakfast! Yes, Max is cute. Very skinny, though.

Max is doing well for his age, I once had a cat named Tiger who lived to be 20.
