Filtered with cool sea breezes
And a patch of sun

Waiting! Waiting!

Today - Saturday 26th January - is Australia Day.
Here is a glimpse of some characters (last Australia Day 2012) lined up in a queue for a free breakfast at the Dromana pier celebrations.
Clearly they have means of being entertained while they wait their turn.


The buzz of Iphones
Did we really know the world
Before these gadgets

From a blue perspective...

Blue "deck" on a little boat shed at Dromana

From painted blue woods
A view of dreaming on blues
Sweet blue happiness

Stardust Horses

Horses waiting to perform in the Stardust Circus.
The travelling circus is a Christmas holiday attraction at Rosebud each year.
As I mentioned in my last post about the lion, I am not keen on using animals in a circus.
And I have never seen a circus performance either.

Special white horses
Travellers and circus stars
Fragile happiness

Lonely Blue

There is something lonely and sad about one shoe lying near a beach.
This one was left near the carpark at Portsea Ocean Beach.


A single blue shoe
Looking as if it was loved
Now lost and alone

Summer Blues are Slow This Year!

The above photo was taken at Dromana beach at this time last year!
This year we are still wearing jackets with just the occasional glimpse of warmth later in the day.

Longing to see them emerge
A sign of summer

Colourful Block of Necessity

The block of necessity at Rye beach has a colourful blue profile.
Who said that these amenities need to look ordinary?

Colourful mural awaits

Old Mornington

The Mornington sign marks where the old Mornington station used to be and in the background is the familiar blue building of Peninsula Surf - a sporty clothing shop.
The Baxter to Mornington line opened in 1889 and closed in 1981.
In 1991, the line re-opened as a heritage railway, with two small differences.
The line began at Moorooduc and the new Mornington station was sited at Yuilles Road in Mornington.
(The old station site made way for shopping centre growth behind Main Street, Mornington.)
There is hope that restoration of the line to Baxter will be restored.

Old makes way for new
The useful becomes useless
But re-invented

Bayview Blue

Bayview Motel is at Rosebud with views of Port Philluip Bay and right near Rosebud beach.
Not surprisingly, the sign is dominated by blue!


Opposite the beach
Where blues mean seaside pleasures
Sign of temptation

Blue Machine

Travelling along the Nepean Highway near Rosebud yesterday, it was hard to miss the drama of blue on wheels!


Travelling in blue
Pocketful of sea and sky
