This week is International Women’s week and Ailsa of “Where’s my backpack?” has linked her theme with it for this week’s challenge for us to honour and remember women. So I have decided to put together a gallery of women we have met on our recent travels. Some photos I have taken and some are Jack’s photos. Jack is very good with portraits he can get people to relax and their character shines through, maybe it is his happy pants or more likely his smile and happy relaxed nature.
Jack also has an artist’s eye for composition. Visit his latest post jacksjottings>to see some of the sketches he does when we are travelling.
So this is my tribute to the women of Australia we have met briefly like ships passing in the night…
