while vines are sleeping...

while vines are sleeping
cooling skies and lonely art
exchange their sad sighs


NOTE
Montalto Vineyard, on the Mornington Peninsula near Red Hill, pictured above, has many unusual  artworks scattered through the vineyards.
Somehow in the Autumn/Winter season, those artworks seem quite stark - with the leafless vines as a backdrop.

Butterfly

Like wings of music
Colours of a symphony
Butterfly magic

Hope

Autumn golds at the Hummingbird Eco Retreat, Red Hill


Boughs of many suns
Like summer's grand finale
Flares of golden hope

Crocus

So often regarded as a herald of spring, Crocus is a member of the iris (Iridaceae) family, and is made up of around 80 species of late winter- and early springflowering corms. Their natural distribution range extends from central Europe to northern Africa and central Asia.

These are some of my photos of irises.
I live in the south east of Australia and I have never seen a crocus, but I have seen many varieties of irises.
Apparently the crocus grow well in partial sunlight in rockeries.


In some northern lands
Of magical winter snows
Crocus break the spell

But in my warm climes
The crocus is like a dream
Small distant cousin
