First of the Month in February

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ February opened with some very strange evening skies hanging round Port Phillip Bay.
Perhaps Cyclone Yasi imminent in Queensland to our north is sending weird skies our way!
Once again, this is my view from my verandah in the Dromana Hills!

Eerie evening skies
Like daylight challenging night
Clouds whisked by winds

Robin's Egg Blue

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This is really an old paper weight!
But it now lives on the edge of a corner of my garden because it captures the changing light there!
It's transformed into a garden ornament!

Canadian Bay Club

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This tiny clubhouse overlooks the sands of Mills Beach on Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula.
But look at the sign on the right!
So strange that the No Parking sign has been placed by the Country Fire Authority when a heap of water is right at the door!
And it is almost impossible to park there because the driveway is on a steep rocky/sandy slope!
But there is another surprise!
The film "On the Beach" (1959) was filmed at Canadian Bay and the clubhouse was used as the film's operating headquarters. When it was released with Gregory Peck, Ava Gardiner and Fred Astaire in the leading roles Canadian Bay got a great deal of publicity and the membership rose quite quickly.
