minus the summer crowds...

view of the foreshore at Anthony's Nose on Port Phillip Bay...
In summer, the grassy area in the foreground is filled with campervans...

minus the summer crowd
winter shadows are free
to play

winter morning in Melbourne...

view of yesterday's wintry morning sky over Melbourne near Flinders Street station...
The sun peeked out for just a short time...

the crowds have thinned
winter slows the pace of a
bustling city

broken with
a sliver of red

Winter Sun

When it's sunny on our Winter days, the light is gentle, the sea is the bluest blue and the shadows are long.
This is a photo of Dromana beach.

bright gentle colours
sweet peace

Just one bird wings his journey

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...
