Holding a lifetime on a lap

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

William Blake (1757 - 1827)

This is my dear friend, Detta at the Cafe Gallery on Thursday Island in December, 2001. She was about to fly home for Christmas and with a half hour free before her ferry left to Horn Island, we grabbed a coffee.
     She is holding little Sutchy Rooster.  
     Below is Detta at the Cafe China in Cairns in December, 2015.  She had a few hours' layover before her connecting flight home for the Christmas holidays.  She is holding big Sutchy Rooster.

  1. Either you bin feed that boy too well or Detta's shrinking pills are working a treat...

    1. And, of course, a fair bit of Island Rooster and since moving to the mainland, KFC!
