A day of waterlilies and watching the sun go down

Watching the sun go down.

I love Broome. 

a little oasis

right at the top of Western Australia, 

30 hours drive from where we live.

We've done this road trip a number of times

and looking back on these photo's, we must be due for 

another one!

Camel rides on Cable Beach

The colours of the landscape are wonderous in their 

deep ultramarine blues of the skies,

turquoise ocean

and red ochre landscape.

Gantheaume Point

Prehistoric dinosaur footprints can be found in the rocks at low tide 

at Gantheaume Point.

Broome is all about living in

'Broome Time'

So sunset on the beach is mandatory (see first pic).

 4.00 in the afternoon the first 4 x4s start rocking up on the beach and by

5.00pm it is off-road vehicles side by side

for about a 5 kilometer stretch along the beach.

Everyone with their esky out, tinny in hand.

Waiting for sunset.

Sunset on Cable Beach

But other than swanning about on the beach,

I love checking out the water gardens at 

Cable Beach Resort.

It has the most stunning water lilly's.

Pink Lotus

 

But this blue one above was just stunning!

And the other day

I was taking another peek of it and

thought.

'What a wonderful scarf this would make'.

So off to play and this is what I designed.

Blue Water Lily Scarf

I played with the design myself first 

on Photoshop Elements, then went 

over to a manufacturing site for them 

to create this scarf for me.

Its huge at 114cm square,

but that size makes it very versatile! Think sarong!

I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. :-)
