Ruby Rowing

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Standing up to paddle a boat at Blairgowrie on Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula.
The water is very shallow in this area, so perhaps it is easier to stand and paddle?
And it's amazing how this sliver of red seems to glow in a world of blue!

Rowing a red craft

One Single Impression #109 ~ Avatar

In terms of seasons
I am an Autumn spirit
Mellow airs and shades
~
Come close to my soul
Notice the reaching branches
Noticed coloured walls
~
Shrink to avatar
Shadowy trellis rising
White whispers drift on
~

P.S. In response to Gautami Tripathy: Avatars seem to be like fractured personalities, almost caricatures, masks available for dressing and undressing!

A Song for Two and a Postscript

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A slightly dusty 2 o'clock...
Time and times just slightly out of line...
Dust to dust...

Haiku Bones #16 ~ Two O'Clock
~

Two feet for walking
Two organs to hear and see
Two arms seek embrace
~
Two hands to create
Two shoulders to cry upon
Two knees to kneel

Two mournful bell tones
Two hours beyond deep midnight
Two o'clock curfew

A Walk on the Wild Side

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ When Shadow goes out and about in the wild, sometimes "trophies" are brought back!
Seeds, weeds and other dirty deeds!

Wild walks need visible proof
Wise gems from Shadow

Scenic Sunday #89
Carry on Tuesday #46 ~ This week our prompt is the opening of The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer, 2004:
We are each the love of someone’s life
~

No sign of movement
No sign of human footprints
No sign of tensions
~
A time to reflect
A time to renew life vows
A time for re-birth
~
In the cold dark lights
Loneliness is hollowness
Fathomless chasms
~
Empowered with fears
Empowered with shapeless sylphs
Spun imaginings
~
But we're reality
Solid possibilities
Solid living gold
~
We are special golds
Each the love of someone's life
Once, now or to be
~
Let the breezes sigh
A soul needs some healing time
Space and dimension
~

Is it called a motorbike?

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Resting in a Dromana street, Mornington Peninsula was this somewhat eyecatching bike (perhaps new) and it created an intriguing shadow!

Dusky shine of gold
Laid right back and in waiting
Dramatic street scene

Front Garden Dolphins

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ In a front garden near Point Nepean, Mornington Peninsula is this rugged wood structure rising near the front fence.
And on top, peering over, is a face of a smiling dolphin!

Smiling sea creatures
Waiting for a leap of faith
Locked in a garden

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ In fact, there is not one but two of these unusual sculptures.
They seem to guard the far corners of the front fence and look out to Port Phillip Bay!

St Mark's, Dromana by Night Light

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A window in St Mark's church, Dromana, Mornington Peninsula. Construction of the Neo-gothic-style St Mark's Anglican Church was commenced in 1892 and the first service was held in the church in April 1893. The church was constructed using rusticated limestone with red brick quoins and features rendered parapets at the gable end. St Mark's is the Mornington Peninsula's third oldest Anglican stone church and is only pre-dated by St John's in Sorrento (1874) and St Andrew's in Rye (1882). - Extract from Heritage Australia
