Time to Relax: Lens Artists Challenge

Posted on July 22, 2018 by Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist

Relaxing

possible for the young but possibly not the mum

No problem for the doggies though

or this old man kangaroo

Lying and reading is always relaxing for me

sometimes with a drink by the pool

or by the pool on the high seas.

letting others do the work

Relax and enjoy the view.

Thank you Amy for the prompt and to see other lens artists

About 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.

    When we have a habit that it serves us well, we tend to keep it. Yes, thank you for the relaxing photos.

  Thanks Helen. The first photograph is of flying foxes or fruit bats. They come home from a night foraging in the woods and orchards and wrap their wings around them for a relaxing snooze.
