close couple...

couple looking over Port Phillip Bay from Queenscliff Lighthouse Reserve...
I think the man is wearing the woman's hat,
because he gave it to her when they stood and walked away...


close together
sharing
special secrets

rain, cold wind and a beach...

It's rainy, it's cold and it's windy...
Yet still people walk Dromana beach...
One carries a beach umbrella - to contend with the rain...
But in this scene, the umbrella seems to be useful for prodding some sea grass...
(there's a sliver of red in the folded umbrella)


lure of beach worlds
kaleidoscope of seasons
brews the magic

time for a bite...

table feature at the Heritage Farm cafe on Churchill Island...
The island is just offshore from the Mornington Peninsula...
We enjoyed lunch there yesterday...
(The day was mostly sunny and warm - Yahooooo...)
I had the best fettucini and sun-dried tomatoes that I ever tasted...
My hubby said he had the best hamburger and chips he had ever tasted...
And, of course, we both had a great mug of cappuccino...


snack delights

a new version of fire warning signs appearing on my peninsula...
A light flashes on the appropriate colour segment
and any extra messages are lit up in the lower rectangle...
This sign is at Sorrento...

just a small train...

two carriage train pulling in to the small Tyabb station...
Generally, we tend to say that there is no rail service on the peninsula...
What little rail track there is requires changing
from the main line at Frankston to the small Stony Point line....
It is just a single track serving a handful of stations on the eastern side of the peninsula...


perhaps small
but a vital connection
to city worlds
