Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

I was waiting for Sally to post her entry for this week, but I don’t see what we in the antipodes have to wait for the rest of the world to catch up. Lovely entry for this week’s theme.What is the second to last shot?

That is looking closely at the water in the empty plant against the palm in the last shot. I love it as you can see the palm reflected in the water. I used to feel guilty about posting before everyone else but I now look at it as they are posting late and only the ones that give instructions do I now wait for. I usually add the link when they finally get around to posting. LOL

I guess as long as you have the pingback, in place, Sally will find you!!

Actually, I did not get the Pingback, but here I am. Adore the way the close up gave the flowers an ethereal quality. The first actually reminds me of coral floating underneath the sea–a nice mental image. Happy Phoneography Challenge.

Sally I’m glad you made it. I put it on before it turned the 10th for you so it probably went to another place on your site. The analogy with coral is perfect. I know just what you mean. Cheers Irene

Thanks Janet. The flowers actually are much nicer in the macro form than reality. Just about to put the light out. Have a good day
