in the back yard :-)

It was fantastic to see some colour at the coast but cloud was blocking a lot of the aurora. So we went home.

Almost immediately the neighbourhood huskies began to sing...
and then gigantic pillars of light stretched across the sky
followed by the most intense reds, pale greens and golds.

yep an over processed image
but it was a wild night :-)

I've loved seeing the aurora images here on flick, what a beautiful thing we have shared.

in the company of a forest
the back of the garden
in a vase of sublime
weeds

in the most unexpected corner
of this city
in my sister
my friend
in my nemesis too
oh yes my wild self
is dancing

and you?
where do you find
the wild?
where are you
dancing
with this earth?

I was so happy to stumble upon this temporary artwork in the Dunedin Botanic gardens a few years ago.

I love the way it sung with the background...
from this place, of this place...

'The Commons explores the blurred lines between what we often think of as distinct spaces or perspectives: private/public, individual/collective, domestic/wild, human/nature, object/viewer. It reminds us that wild public places can be as intimate and homely as our domestic spaces, and that we have wild roots to our domestic lives. The Commons refers to places and resources not owned privately, but held in common and managed for the collective good. It also alludes to seeking out what we hold in common with each other and what we find around us, so we may have a more empathetic, connected world view.'
