Diego - thanks for commenting; for all non Aussies, snow gums (Eucalyptus pauciflora) are large trees, common in the alpine areas of Australia.

Continuing with things different - a flying saucer ( :roll:

) in mother of pearl of course

Tantra is a 'cartoon' character I created and have posted her previously in a different guise; she is a free spirit of the universe and changes her appearance sometimes in subtle ways but even dramatically at whim. Here she has returned from planet Grün having adopted certain local features

I was brought up in England in rather austere conditions just after WW2. My parents told me that after 'that war' there would be everlasting peace. Seventy years on and things still do not look like they promised me (

) so I thought I would try to help with my two peace doves; well you have start somewhere.

Oh dear, Tantra (post 808) has complained that I'm not giving her brother any Gimp Chat time; so here is her androgenous brother Tantrum ( :roll:

), another traveller in our broad universe.

There is so much creativity here - it is awe inspiring.
I love to make things - but i often lack that creative 'spark' to set the ideas aflame (is that the right wording? ..lol)

Issabella and leftyleo - thank you both very much for you comment.

Issabella because you liked those peace doves, they sent another message from their dovecote

My alien cartoon portrait friend Tantra has introduced me to an Australian indigenous friend of hers, Jedda the 'goanna girl' :roll:
