Queenscliff Skies

Skies over Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula (on the opposite side of Port Phillip Bay from my Mornington Peninsula)
The black lighthouse is the only one of its colour in Australia and it is said that it's one of only three in the world.
The notorious The Rip, just beyond the headland, opens into Bass Strait.


A guarded headland
Watching journeys through The Rip
Like a caring guide

Divine Scents

Sign at a little restaurant at Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Love the chalk design even though locally is spelt incorrectly!


The scents of freshness
Foods brushed with Nature's magic

The Look!

Shadow always has beautiful appeal!


The long steady gaze
Those eyes communicate well
Her words in silence

Dromana beach


Just watching the waves
Just feeling the charm of space
Just living my time

Storm?

Summer morning skies in the Dromana Hills

Like roving ripples

Like murmurs of nearing storm

Like a soft warning

Reality Recycled

I was fascinated by the strange melting of shadow and reflection on this car in a Rosebud carpark.


For just a moment
Odd shadowy reflections
Like wild swirling paint

Stardust Horses

Horses waiting to perform in the Stardust Circus.
The travelling circus is a Christmas holiday attraction at Rosebud each year.
As I mentioned in my last post about the lion, I am not keen on using animals in a circus.
And I have never seen a circus performance either.

Special white horses
Travellers and circus stars
Fragile happiness

A Stardust Lion

A lion waiting for the time when he performs in Stardust Circus, Rosebud.
This is a travelling circus that appears on my peninsula in the Christmas holiday season.
Strangely, I have never been to a circus.
I am not really fond of the idea that animals are used.


A kind of sad face
A wish to find some free breath
In open spaces

Red Pillar

In the white world of Martha Cove marina homes, the red stands out.
I am not sure why this particular home has a single red pillar.
It looks odd to me.

In the cockatoo days...

This photo of the sulphur-crested cockatoo was taken 3 years ago.
In those early days, their numbers were small.
But when up to 50-60 cockatoos chose to be fed here
- and they began destroying any wood around -
my husband was finally persuaded to stop feeding them.
I must admit, I miss taking their photo.


The pain of waiting
Waiting to be fed some seed
Waiting attention
