Over Striped?

Striped red and white worlds
Cleansing fresh toothpaste heaven
Perhaps fire and ice

Ruby Tuesday prompt

Yes! I am back with my Dromana bathing boxes! They intrigue me! Perhaps, I should really call them boat sheds. After all, that is what they are used for now!

Little boxes
By the seaside
Little boxes
Painted brightly
And they line up
Like little soldiers
And they all look
Much the same
~
But wander closer
By the seaside
See the hint of
Personality
There are jokers
There are tame ones
They are far from
All the same
~
But I still love
Old forgotten ones
Lost in grasses
By the seaside
They are legends
From some other times
Who long to be
Just the same

Balloon Signs

Weekend Snapshot prompt #46
~
On a closed door
Dripping
With a rainbow of
Splotched colours
One stray blue balloon
Sways gently in the wind
Like a sign
A symbol
A marker
~
Remnant of a weekend party?
Forgotten piece of celebration?
Or is it simply
A sign of welcome for
Celebrations to come?

Stripey Water Sports Accessories

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Multi coloured stripes on bathing box at Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula. Some of these boxes date back to early settlements on the Peninsula. Most date from the 1960's. More of these colourful boxes can be found on many Peninsula beaches of Port Phillip Bay.

Some prefer
The toothpaste style stripe ~
Always looking

Others definitely love
The candy gloss stripe

It seems that
There is far more
To the old bathing box
Of yesteryear than
An ironic
(Slightly amusing)
Similarity to
The famous Outback loo
~~
This humble little boat shack is
Slowly
Doggedly
Evolving into
A desirable piece of
Sacred
(Some look like mini churches!)
Beachy artwork

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ More Dromana bathing boxes. As you can see, they are all very close together, often in groups where sand meets grass.

Pic on Flickr by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dromana bathing box with attitude. Not everyone likes stripes on bathing boxes. There are the rebel few who try their hand at some artwork.
