Odd Garden Fountain
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Not a great photo, but this wire fence across someone's front garden was a lot taller than I was, so I made the best of what I had.
I loved this strangely sculpted fountain/bird bath in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
And a little rosella obliged to pose quietly.

No Goodbyes
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Trail of late afternoon Autumn light at Fisherman's Beach, Mornington Peninsula, Port Phillip Bay
~
Carry on Tuesday #50 ~ This week our prompt is a quote from author
Richard Bach:
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
~
When it seems there's loss
Don't intimate dark goodbyes
Avoid locked closures
Journeys are just change
Farewell means inner promise

Night Rain
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Early on a recent Autumn evening, I took this shot of rain from the comfort of my car parked at the Dromana Mall, Mornington Peninsula
~
Haiku Bones #20 ~ Night Rain
Monday Poetry Train Revisited #77

When mourners lessen
When wars seem vacant places
There's always night rain
When age wearies some
And only the past gives hope
There's always night rain
When happiness drowns
When life is just survival
There's always night rain
When the spirit sighs
When crowds seem lonely spaces
There's always night rain

Addiction to Skyscapes
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Autumn sunset as viewed just this evening from my verandah in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
Whenever there is a glowing sunset around, no matter what I am doing, I run for the camera.
Whenever there is a storm around...
Whenever there are weird cloud shapes...
Whenever there is a misty dawn...
That has to be ADDICTION!
