A Special Candle

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ An unusual tea candle holder (a special gift from my dear husband) sitting by day in my kitchen window.
Even in day light, it casts a lovely variety of shadow shapes dependent on the strength and angle of the sunlight.

Soft candle burning
Shadow of the brighter light
Gentle connections

Animals and Children

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At the Annual Strawberry Festival last Saturday in Dromana, Mornington Peninsula, these goats didn't seem to know which way to look next for attention!

Animals draw smiles
Add a child for more delight
Innocent pleasures

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ But one goat seemed to be enchanted with this little one!
And the feeling seemed to be mutual!

Symbols of Fortune

Magic Quills

Sometimes
There are views
You simply love
For no particular reason
~
There is busy clutter
No real focal interest
A wish-washy mire of indefinite colour
And it all seems cramped into
The nether regions of
A no particular somewhere
~
And yet
There is something about
Those feathered quills
Resting in foamy tides of the sky
Resting innocently above a tiny snippet of
A child's world
That makes the whole confusion
Simple
Magic

Umbrella rainbow
Whirls of colour in the rain
Like a wheel of lights

Folded umbrella
Like a light switch in waiting
To brighten the greys

Walk on Water

Dromana pier is one of my favourite places. But I rarely walk the pier alone! There is only one stretch of railing on one side. And sometimes the waters of Port Phillip Bay are whipped up by strong winds! So I keep my enjoyment mainly to the safety of the beach pathway and just take photos!

Walking the long pier
Daring to touch tomorrows
Walking on water
