flurry...

flurry 
cloudy windsong fans
the flighty foam

gingerly she walks...

gingerly she walks... an autumn foreshore 
crinkled sunlight... sighs

return...

a view of the crowds at the recent annual Kite Festival on the Rosebud foreshore...


sun blessed skies
flying souls return on
willing winds

bagel...

little sand snail
celebrates new summer with
a living bagel


NOTE
Sand snails lay eggs in kidney-shaped egg jellies.
If you hold one up to the light, you will see spots inside which are the tiny eggs.
This photo was taken at Rosebud beach.

pumps the winter locked muscles
warms cold souls

Ascent

An ascent struggles
Demanding patience and time
Always rewarding

Taco

Kites with character
Like prayer flags on lengthy strings
Riding fickle winds

Hold your ship high ...

Hold your ship high
  Taste the salts of the winds
  Feel your ley line

Origami

One of many colourful, unusual kites flying in the annual Kite Festival held this weekend on the Rosebud foreshore, Mornington Peninsula.


Strange kite fantasies
Like some origami dreams
Waiting to unfold

Straight Out of the Camera Sunday

How full of trifles everything is! It is only one's thoughts that fill a room with something more than furniture 
~ This will hurt me

Shimmer

Sunlight flickering on waters at Rosebud beach, Port Phillip Bay


Shimmer of sunlight
Like words for our new music
Living a new dance

Eyes

Eyes are a filter
You're never too old or young
To find the beauty



It's Australia Day today!

Heath

Heath on the Rosebud foreshore by Port Phillip Bay on the Mornington Peninsula


Ravaged by salt winds
Deprived of gifts from rich soils
Blinded by hot suns

Stands up to hot suns
Clings to the hope of pale sands
Heath on the foreshore

Circus acrobats
Flying spinners of magic
Painters of drama

Haiku Friday

In the spirit of Masaoka Shiki...

cold winter blast
warm red gloves on my hands
glued with white ice

glued with white heat
reaching for echoes of
cold winter blast

Masaoka Shiki

cold winter blast
a cord of a sedge hat
cut into my neck
