Lovely day out

 It was lovely to catch up with Ma on Tuesday. She came to town with a friend and then we picked her up and had a nice day together. We visited the National Library and enjoyed seeing some amazing dresses that have been inspired by the beautiful floral watercolours by Ellis Rowan. She was born in 1848 and painted many of the paintings in the early 1900s.

She also travelled to New Guinea and painted the beautiful birds found there. They are wonderfully detailed.
