Each time I walk past these water lilies my imagination takes a plunge into fantasy, I see green fish or exotic mermaids taking a dive into the pond.
Morning shadows
Huge terracotta pots line the walkway to the villas. Each one is home to small fish, papyrus and water lilies.
Tropical beauty
The Pink Flamingo Resort is home away from home; 10 villas with their own courtyards, (inside and) outside baths and showers. This is a picture of a water lily taken just outside our villa.
Tropical winter breeze
A three hour flight north to Cairns, far from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. A comfortable 28oC is plenty warm enough for shorts and tee shirts. I love tropical north Queensland, deep red, orange and pink flowers of the ginger plants contrast beautifully against so many shades of vibrant green. There was a strong breeze blowing in from the Pacific while we were having lunch in Palm Cove.
Perception of prison
What is my crime to be restrained behind bars?
Passers by do not seem to notice my plight,
Perhaps I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Come rain or come shine I hold my head up high,
Forever hopeful that I find release soon.
Channel The Life Force Within You
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”
Agnes de Mille, Martha: The Life and Work of Martha Graham
Food for thought
Winter show
Drifting, floating on the breeze,
Come to rest high in the trees.
Sitting soft, held aloft,
Among the gold, falling leaves,
Gentle gust; limp ribbon weaves.
Relief from grey; colours glow,
Sad to see them deflate, slow.
Once a joy filled play toy:
Red; yellow; pink; orange; green;
Rainbow hues can still be seen.
