Play

Kite flying and bike riding are a great way to merge play and exercise.
This photo was taken earlier this year on the Rosebud foreshore.

play
nourishes the mind with
happiness

And this is an invitation to play with fantasy and fun - at the Hastings festival earlier this year.

Old Wheels

This couple has been a part of the annual Westernport Festival community parade for some years.
And still they draw lots of attention and admiration.
What this motorised carriage is actually named I really don't know.

Back in the parade
Keep old wheels of time turning
Proudly motoring

Little Yellow Train

One of many attractions at the Western Port Festival 2013 last Saturday.
Amusements like this were on the foreshore of the bay at Hastings.

Over 50! And Motoring!

T.S.Eliot's poetry has never failed to intoxicate me! In fact, his sunlight on a broken column, his midnights and lamp posts, his female rhythms mouthing Michelangelo pleasantries are all bound up in the "overwhelming question" of our real biorhythms and souls! ~ We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~~~~Ray Bradbury ~~~~ Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~~Anton Chekhov ~~~ Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet

Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.- T.S.Eliot .............................. My page was too white/My ink was too thin/The day wouldn’t write/What the night pencilled in -'The Book of Longing' Leonard Cohen..................... Creative discord of fractured harmonies! Between the Question and the Answer is A Hush... A Whisper... A Dreaming...

The grit of raw desert lands whirls on the winds in erotic rhythms - sometimes. - Greyscale
