We are in winter here but the days have been blue and sunny if bloody cold!
This photo was taken off the East Coast last week:
Too cold for me to be swimming! Brrrrrr.....
Playful dolphins just off Schouten Island on the Freycinet Peninsula thanks to Nadine Amami who says:
We had at least 4 pods of Common Dolphin come investigate the boat as we travelled along the Freycinet Peninsula on our way to the Isle Des Phoques. I'll never get over how incredibly graceful these animals are.

Well, you have all loved the last challenge and so I have upped the anti this time and asked you to work outside the square a little for August. The challenge is
Collage, collage, collage...
TWIST venture into multi- media
(multimedia means using two or more mediums together: so paint and texture paste or glue and paper or seed beads and paste/glue or ribbon, flowers and paint......)
Collage (from the French: coller, "to glue";[ is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.
The term collage was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.
There are lots of examples on Pinterest if you want to waste a few hours!
Use the 'collage in cards' search for some simple examples
