Fluttering Blue Shadows

Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Blue sheets fluttering in the summer breeze created wonderful changing shadow patterns!
NOTE: I have just learnt in the comments that clothes lines are outlawed in some communities in the U.S.
I was wondering why?

Tiny Bent Reflection

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Odd reflection of the distorted verandah perspex roof, verandah rails + a tree + my knees.
This is a shiny embellishment on my blue shoes!

Cold Dromana Summer Waves

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This morning, waves tumbled into an empty Dromana beach on the Mornington Peninsula.
Why?

Where's summer???

Tumbling summer waves
Too rough and cold for a swim
But so beautiful

Nature is Confused?

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A red leaf is not so unusual for Autumn.
But this is summer on the Mornington Peninsula in Australia.
The top temperature today was 18 degrees C.
It was cold and mostly windy and rainy - for the second day running.
Now, it is nearly midnight and the temperature is 12 degrees C.
(It was reported on the news that snow fell on the Victorian Alps today!)
And that red leaf is one of three strongly red leaves on a plant laden with green leaves and green pea-like clusters.
I have no idea what this plant is, but it is slowly growing like a tree.
And did I happen to mention that this is summer?

A Splash of Yellow on the Queenscliff to Sorrento Ferry

Pic By Gemma Wiseman ~ It's amazing how a single splash of yellow can stand out so much in a photo! I guess, having so much blue sky and blue water as a contrast helps!
This scene was taken on the Queenscliff to Sorrento ferry as it headed from the Mornington Peninsula across Port Phillip Bay toward Queenscliff, Bellarine Peninsula.

A coastal village on Port Phillip Bay
Dromana is the joy of seaside life.
Each season is a song in Nature's play,
Each moment is a scenic pause from strife.
When holidays are tempting weary slaves
And Christmas is a time to find escapes,
Parades of campers inundate the waves
While residents try dealing with new shapes.
But those new shapes will last for longer now.
A huge three tiered resort will grace the shore.
The humble tent will fringe the fancy bow.
Our simple pleasure place will be no more.
Pearl Beach, the pretty shell without the pearl -
Is this the way our nation will unfurl?

THIS IS NOW...WHAT THEN?
