Hello Dede. Welcome to our warm little family - I am sure you will enjoy interacting with all the interesting HAF members. You and I seem to have quite a lot in common, since I am also SA-born; in my case half-Jewish with English as first language. I am happy to hear that you practise sculpture and photography, which are two of my interests as well.
Delighted !  I'll participate in the photography group, sure ... I confess to using Auto mode often; for me it's about the composition mostly and I love macro of flowers. Been doing pottery for 50-odd years, handbuilt pieces and sculpture. I dabbled in glass fusing too, and making jewelry from silver clay as well as copper and bronze clay. Thank you for reaching out and saying Hallo!

After I got my final degree I was planning to drop science to become a ceramic sculptor, but life had other plans for me. I've also made silver jewellery, but in the traditional way.

geology?

you re already a winner in my bbook.

Hi Billy, you too? I read geology textbooks for fun :-)  Are you by any chance also a rockhound? I love tumbling my finds (lived in Oregon several years and collected some nice agates).

hi Tank, my avatar image is a line drawing of a type of African savannah bird, namely a guinea fowl. I had a scarf, long ago, printed with this design and hand-copied it because I love the African 'feel' of it - in Afrikaans a guinea fowl is a 'tarentaal'.

chuckling ... yes, rockhounding is addictive. Wherever I go, I pay attention to the pebbles underfoot ... and if looking at a landscape, my mind is watching for geological manifestations like uplift, sedimentation, conglomerate, whatsoever.
There are several fantastically interesting areas near where I live on the Central Coast of California, one is Point Lobos where an ancient submarine canyon is exposed, after uplift. Geologists come from all over the world to study it. Also, only 80 miles or so away, is the Pinnacles National Monument which is a very ancient volcano, 90% of which was carried north by the San Andreas Fault (then buried, which slowed its erosion).  Almost two hundred miles to the south is the other 10% remnant, on the other side of the fault, and much more eroded.  This stuff is just mind-bogglingly intriguing!

I have a guinea fowl in the freezer. I think it's time to defrost it! :)

Welcome, Dede!
Thank you, Dark Lightning ... I see we're practically neighbors (on an international forum, yes) :-)
I've done a lot of reading of old posts, since I joined a day ago, and really like it here.
