I took this picture from a pedestrian bridge over the Paramatta Road connecting Petersham and Leichhardt. I’m still pondering the simile of twilight as a transition from day to night.
Photography
What am I?
Seemingly hard polished outside,
Smooth, shiny and cool to the touch.
Perfect for travels far and wide;
Pochette for cleansers, paints and such.
What am I?
Outer marching ants stitched just right.
Inside cheerful stripes on white.
Timeless, long lasting luxury;
A welcome gift for you and me.
What am I?
The perfect gift for Father’s Day!
I am promoting the Kangaloon Leather Toiletry / Storage Bag (available on Amazon) for my dear friend Libby. The same friend I mentioned in my post The way of the gull.
Shady spot
A handmade
Place in shade.
Birds watched,
Time snatched.
Present here,
Life’s clear.
Autumn confetti
Storm loosed
Breeze strewn
Rain soddened
Feet trampled

Bandstand
Bandstand, Petersham Park, Sydney, Australia. It was built to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII, King of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas and Emporer of India.
Restored in 1993, the building consists of a timber and iron structure on a sandstone platform with a slate roof.
On Saturday, 20 September 1902, in the presence of 10,000 spectators, the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Harry Rawson, officially opened this bandstand.

Secure
Rusted barrel still safely locked,
Marker on way or where we‘ve been.
Trusted path, a familiar scene.
Starker truth, bike’s long since been hocked.
Taken just off Parramatta Road, Sydney, Australia.

Last roses
The autumn chill creeps
Slowly into shadows
And evenings come earlier.
Bright daytime stars
Remind me of what was
And is to come.
Miniature roses, Sydney, Australia
Yellow banksia
There is nothing subtle about the Australian native. I took this picture while walking in Leichhardt Park, Sydney, Australia.
