La Luna bella
So many people in the past have gazed at the moon reflected in the Pacific Ocean. I feel connected with them. Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
Rose Bay Resident
Leave city bustle and tours,
Head over to the eastern shores,
To enjoy a rosy afternoon.
If you don’t leave too soon,
This bayside resident you’ll meet;
Eats à la carte; Pelican Pete.

Ideal for the DIY enthusiast
A typical example of a turn of the 20th century Sydney suburban house; single storey, double fronted with a tin roof. What is unusual is its neglected appearance.
The setting sun’s rays catching the ridge tiles on the roof and the watery looking clouds caught my eye.
Wisteria
The intonation of the word wisteria
Perfectly describing the feather light
Undulations of magnificent blooms.

Nothing in particular
In a bid to make space on my iPad I was merrily deleting pictures when I came across this one. At first sight a leafy space in the local park containing bouganvillea. The contrast of focus from blurred to sharp and the vibrant colours captured my attention. I particularly like the juxtaposition of green, brown, red and mauve.
Runaway
I am fascinated by these yellow flowers, some clusters appear to have grown in circles. This circle has a runaway!
The leaves resemble those of a dandelion, however the flowers don’t transmute into a powderpuff.
Focus
Image of a moment that is no more,
But one more memory shared, of this fair shore.
Blue of the harbour and red of the wine,
Light and shadow playing in the sunshine.
Happy faces at every mention
Of formal notice of our intention.
We will wed at the British Consulate.
Harbour-side mid-week lunch to celebrate.
With family and friends it will be regal,
‘Though same-sex union here’s not yet legal.
Some people, our decision, it astounds;
The dissonance of living still abounds.
