shades of grey...

This is not a black and white photo...as is...
Dromana mornings lately have simply offered many versions of grey spiced with rain
or the occasional burst of hail...

at last a bit of blue...

we have had an unbelievable amount of rain this past week...
Photo taking jaunts have been localised to my front door or my back verandah...
Above is a view from my Dromana Hills back verandah of Port Phillip Bay...
By the time I took this excited, tilted-horizon  photo, it was raining again...


welcome patch of blue
promising that some day
the sun will shine

It was hung on a tree in a narrow dirt road street parallel to Balnarring beach...
and the tree was on the beach side opposite a home...
