Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The best way to create a self-portrait of me is to gather together those things I love in the world around me:
sea, sand and sky
the moon
wild life
Nature's lights and moods
trees
plants
our cat Shadow
my beautiful soul mate

PhotoHunt # 125 ~ Beautiful

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Morning view from the top of Arthurs Seat, overlooking Port Phillip Bay

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A little Bay beneath a huge canvas of moody morning lights
~
Moody morning lights
Hang from
Foamy puffs of wonder
High on a mountain
~
Morning dreams
Delight in
Freeway chatter
Humming
Far below
With the volume
Almost
Mute

Moody Blue Evening
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Blue evening at Dromana, Mornington Peninsula
~
Sky Watch prompt 4
~
Moody blues
Singing through black boughs
Sirens of ev'ning
Moods of blue
Sky and water moods
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Damp walkway by an evening sea
~
Sinuous path
Slipping by
Moody pale moments
Ev'ning sigh
Last breath of day
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Last light
~
Midnight secrets
Locked in waves
Last whispering lights
Namaste
Let there be Peace

Lonely sea and sky?
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sea and sky at the close of a Dromana winter day ~ Mornington Peninsula
~
Weekend Snapshot #48
~
After rainy
Cold days
I ached for the warm glows of
A sunset
Any sunset
~
But I found
The gentle
Embracing
Enchantment of
Midnight blue seas
Rippling to
Pastel lights
Shrouded in
Grey
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dromana in pale winter evening light
~
After frantic hours in
A frenzied week
I longed for lonely spaces
~
And yet
A distant ship on
A far horizon meant
Welcome company
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Last look at light over Dromana beach
~
I longed to linger
To stay in
Endless
Freedom ~
To leave
The wires
The traps
The suffocating
Sneers of
Soulless
Ritual and
Duty
~
But then
I glimpsed
The colours of
Hope
Still there
In between

My love affair with sea and sky

~
It may be winter time
Spiced with relentless
Icy wind
But today
Morning skies
Over soft waters
Are like heavenly light
Carressing
Comforting
Shivering
Whimpering earth
~
