Beauty of raindrops
Like Nature's broken pendant

Weekend Nature #25 ~ Rocks on the Move

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Parts of the shoreline round Port Phillip Bay are crumbling into the sea.
These rocks are at Schnapper Point, Mornington.
I found the work of Nature fascinating ~ shaping and colouring and moving the rocks.

Nature rules the Earth
Man may try to re-shape but
Nature rules the Earth

Weekend Nature #10 ~ Seagull Habitat

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Seagulls all doing their own "thing" at Sorrento beach, Mornington Peninsula.
This photo seems odd to me.
Seagulls are standing on rocks right near seagulls swimming - with only a small difference in height.

Weekend Nature #9 ~ Winter Blossoms?

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Not so strange to see a few blossoms on a tree.
But it is strange that these blossoms have been appearing on the top of one tree in my garden over the last few days in the middle of July - in the middle of our Australian winter on the Mornington Peninsula.

White whispers of Spring
Yet Spring is so far away
Strange phenomena
