Sunset Lockdown\u00a0 Puffins<\/span><\/strong>

It is hard to believe after the year that the world has had with the COVID19 Pandemic, that I visited the Arctic Circle in January 2020.<\/p>\r\n

The Puffin, \u201cIs it a Priest or a Clown?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

We have needed both since March 2020<\/p>\r\n

Its genes name is Fratercula (little Friar). Its orange beak and orange webbed feet make the puffin somewhat clown like!<\/p>\r\n

While we are in lockdown the puffins have a decreased number of visitors, so I have put them in Coronavirus lockdown at home as well, until we can all visit them again!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

CORAL SEA TRIP<\/b><\/p>\r\n

ADELAIDE ARTIST DIVES DEEP FOR INSPIRATION…
ON ECOLOGICAL VOYAGE TO REMOTE CORAL SEA REEF\u00a0
\u00a0
In December this year, South Australian artist, Deborah Miller, heads to the remote Lihou Reef, in the Coral Sea, on an ecological trip to find inspiration for her artwork in an Adelaide Fringe exhibition next year.\u00a0
Deborah plans on producing felted silk art works inspired by her voyage to the reef for the exhibition:<\/p>\r\n

ella-mental@\u00a0ALDINGA ARTS ECO VILLAGE<\/strong>
20-21, 27-28 Feb, 4-7, 11-14 Mar 2010
10am- 5pm Free\u00a0
16 Yacca Way, Aldinga SA 5173<\/p>\r\n

The exhibition will also feature work by Adelaide artists, Maria Bray, Jenny Worth, and Julie Doddridge.<\/p>\r\n

Deborah\u2019s trip on the MV Eastern Voyager takes place 4 \u2013 15 December this year to Lihou Reef 600 kilometres off the coast of Australia. She will join a team of marine experts who will explore the ocean, islands and deep reefs, never before seen by humans. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Scientific divers will survey lagoons, count fish, assess coral bleaching and scan lagoon reef structures using marine robots. Wildlife ecologists will document flora and fauna associated with coral cays and collect vital data on\u00a0seabirds,\u00a0whales\u00a0and turtles.<\/p>\r\n

One vital component of the voyage will be to consider how remote we really are, from the creatures that share our planet? An average six degrees of separation was proved in a recent study of 5 million internet-users. If all species consume one-another in the global food web, human beings are only a few degrees separated from all life on earth?<\/p>\r\n
