Symbolic

This mural is on the side of a boatshed at Dromana beach.
It symbolises old Dromana worlds.
The railway tracks used to run along the pier (just visible on the left) to transport goods from Dromana onto boats bound for Port Melbourne.

Self - Portrait

our cat Shadow
my beautiful soul mate

Letters of a Special Season

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ As soon as I saw this week's prompt, I thought of this book that I have loved for just over 30 years.
In 1920, the first of these letters was created when Tolkien's eldest son was 3 years old.
They continued for over 20 years.
Santa's secretary was an elf called Ilbereth.
And there's a goblin alphabet created by Santa's troublesome assistant North Polar Bear!

Natural Attractions

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ For me, it is natural to be drawn to the character, colours, textures and moods of water.
I especially love the early morning sea mists and the blur of dawning light.
If I wish to relax and refresh, I am naturally drawn to the sea.
Fortunately, on the Mornington Peninsula, I am surrounded by the waters of Port Phillip Bay on one side and the Westernport Bay waters on the other.
I have views of Port Phillip from my verandah.
This photo is taken early morning at Balnarring beach on Westernport Bay, when horses love to exercise along the shores.

Red Hill Consolidated School

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Red Hill Consolidated School was established to replace eight small rural schools in the district. RHCS is located approximately 58 kilometres SE of Melbourne, in the central area of the Mornington Peninsula within a picturesque rural setting of 5.9 hectares of land. Originally RHCS provided schooling for years 1-10, but now provides a comprehensive Prep-6 curriculum for students in the district. As Red Hill has no actual township, it caters for children from a wide radius, including Flinders, Main Ridge, Merricks, Merricks North, Point Leo and Shoreham.
