Going away

There's a lot to be said for going away from home. I've just spent two days in the company of my friend Deborah, while we travelled to Canberra. Our objective was to see The Rajah Quilt, which is on display at the National Museum of Australia as part of the Not Just Ned exhibition. (The exhibition finishes at the end of this month, so hurry if you want to visit.)

It was a treat to spend so many hours chatting, visiting the Museum and shopping at three patchwork shops. What I think was best, though, was opening ourselves up to new sights and different thought patterns. I'll be pondering this thought for a while yet and may write about it later.

In the meantime, look at these fantastic shapes from the National Museum of Australia buildings.

These first two photos were taken near the entrance to the building. The next three were taken in the Garden of Dreams section of the Museum. Yes, that's me looking happy!
