I Love the Kookaburra

A kookaburra family regularly visits my Mornington Peninsula world.
Such friendly, knowing little characters.
The kookaburra (also known as laughing jackass) is part of the kingfisher family and is native to Australia and New Guinea.




Knowing character
The kookaburra magic
Reaches the spirit

So what is a friend
One who sings the earth for you
Echo of beauty

Shadows by the Yarra

Some shadows relaxing by the Yarra River in Melbourne


Art by the Yarra
A story board of shadows
Like abstract thinking

Realms of loneliness
Dark corners and emptied space
Violate daylight

The pigment of guilt
Like black wells slashed with red blood
Like secret chasms

The palette of peace
Like gentle ripplings of blues
Tones to soothe the soul

The concept of love
Rainbow of passions and dreams
Colour coded worlds

Pandora's legend
When colours take flight from life
There is always hope


NOTE: For me, hope is like a transparency, picking up the colours you wish to be in your life.
Hope may transform into colour, yet is itself not a colour.
It is like a prism waiting to capture the colours of light.

Wonder of Mushrooms

Mushrooms at a park in Mornington

Almost mandalas

Polished Gem

Picture pile collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Here are views of the new look Dromana pier on the Mornington Peninsula.
To celebrate being gazetted as a town on the peninsula 150 years ago, a garden recreation area (more seats for viewing the bay) with a focal yacht "mast style" flag pole have been created near the entrance to the popular Dromana pier.

This Stub of Fate

Collage by Gemma Wiseman
~
One Single Impression #164 ~ Shackles
~

Slender moonlight
Mocks
This darkened prison


I kneel
Low


Always a gypsy,
Always destitute,
Frozen
Waiting...


Tortured forms
Wrought in stained glass
Loom
Like fiery dust
                     ...Ancient dust
Dancing
Casting
Shackles on my face
And a lilac mystery in my mind


I moan
Pained by
This stub of fate
