This old boat offshore from Rosebud only seems to be really enjoyed by many birds...

soaked with rain
and street light
the real of daylight turns

My peninsula offers so many moods of so many waters...I love the feel of them...

white-washed morning...

white-washed morning of
whipped clouds
fragmented silhouettes
await the colours
of the day#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo clouds #5lines pic.twitter.com/2CDYTyxEKi

Love seeing a morning sky bundled in soft white fluff on the move...Quite exciting...

old visions...

scaling the rungs
of here and now
old visions
tune up and
dare to thrive#tanka #MayTanka #NatankaMo #5lines https://t.co/ryV6GOivcO

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have a second look at old visions and bring some back to life again... 

smiling...

smiling
in synch
the moment when
a deep bond becomes
visible music#tanka #MayTanka #naTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/yX1sLSicJs

The 2011 Westernport Festival parade at Hastings gave my camera many opportunities to capture some rather special moments...

my friend and I...

my friend and I

The wonder of a child is a sacred sanctuary...

a sudden rush of tears...

a sudden rush
of tears
from nowhere
a parade of joy
that could have been#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/g6f12wyEkH

Unexpectedly, a flow of feeling will erupt that really has no particular rhyme or reason...
It may be the result of many memories in conflict...It may be the result of a memory that never was...
