A year in the making… 💙🪶
I took this photograph of a beautiful pelican gliding through the dreamy blue waters of Wallis Lake in Forster, almost a year ago.
And somehow, in what has been a busy year, I completely forgot about it. It sat quietly on my computer until I came across it again recently and thought, oh, I really love this one.
So I finally sat down and edited it. ✨
I think what I love most about it is that it feels like Forster to me. The beautiful blue of the lake, the pelican just going about its day, and that lovely sense of calm you get when you stop for a moment and take it all in.
It’s funny how easily we can overlook these little moments when we’re busy. Sometimes it takes coming back to a photograph months later to realise just how special the moment actually was.
So, after nearly a year, this one is finally getting its chance to leave my computer and be seen. 💙
I’ll have prints available at this Saturday's Forster Spring Festival 🌸🌊. It’s the third year of the festival, with live bands, music, community and lots happening around town, and I’m really looking forward to being part of it again.
If you’re heading along, please come and say hello. I’d love to have a chat, and who knows… perhaps this little piece of Wallis Lake might find a new home. 💙
