Where is magenta on the spectrum?







You can not find magenta in any standard colour spectrum, but you can find it everywhere in life. 
(I wear so much of this colour that I have always said if you cut me I would bleed magenta.) 
There is a considerable amount of unknown information written about it's mysterous existence on the net, such as at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology. 
Magenta or hot pink, call it what you will, is a colour that constantly makes its presence felt.

Street Finds



























































One day I came across what appeared to be the front of an old style car garage. No big deal except when I looked in for some reason I found a wonderful shop full of things that should have been seen as old, worn out, past their ‘use by date’.

But I saw, things of beauty things of elegance. I saw clever, witty objects, just like these world globe that had been converted into desk lamp. I was delighted!

I was to find out that this place was called 'Ici La' and you too can visit it as it is just off Devonshire Street, Surry Hills, in Sydney.

Rain, Rain, go away




My heart could break from the ironic twist of nature.

Not enough rain brought hand wringing anguish and the tears that were shed were not enough to grow a blade of grass.

Now there is so much rain and there is no where for it to go and this rain is matched only by the tears it triggers from frustration and loss.

Shift your thoughts to our land and all that inhabit it. 
Send it and all its residents hope and love and strength.

There is an Islamic expression that God sends an angel with every rain drop. 
We need an army of angels right now.
