colour: black

Welcome back to Evi's blog

Black is certainly not my favourite shade, but it has it's uses. Actually, I don't like it at all. It's dark and dreary, and I don't find it uplifting.

But lets have a look at the photo's and see what we have.....

This first photo was one of the traction engines on display at Steamfest, our local show that's put on once a year here in Sheffield. This particular engine is the oldest traction engine in the southern hemisphere, and there is only two in existence worldwide.

Glamour evening wear. Don't know where Evi scrounged this up from, but one would assume it's one of those treasured finds from an Op shop somewhere. She loves hoarding all this sort of stuff.

The organic & sustainable field day at Penguin (Tasmanian north coast), is where these cute little porkers where snapped. From memory, I think there were many snotty little piglets as well. Pigs can be fun, but there messy.

I remember taking this photo on our way down back to Tasmania, from Wauchope NSW. This particular church is in Victoria, and Evi and me took a fancy to it. Can't remember what town it's from. Evi and me really love doing road trips together when we get the chance.

Looks like some elderberries. We have a patch of them growing in our paddock. Don't know what these were used for. The kids in the background are offering all kinds of differing opinions, so I'm totally confused. Just don't know...

An old sewing machine, don't know its age and can't remember where we took this photo. I must say, it looks particularly old.

I'm very familiar with the last photo. This is the unique, and rather appealing "Tassie Barrel Heater". Manufactured by me right here in Sheffield. This heater started life once as an 18gal stainless steel bear barrel. We ship these heaters Australia wide.

Black may make some people think of depression, but it doesn't have to. It's a very dramatic shade; many artists were nothing but black. It can denote mystery, something hidden - or maybe an introvert who's been around crowds to long, could use it to hide from people. In this sense, it can be a very protective shade, but I think in general, most people would consider the shade black to be a very dense, stagnant type of energy.

Thanks for calling in again  !!

Love to all ..  Stuy (the green man)
