in praise of Catherine Andrews...

Kudos Catherine Andrews, wife of Victoria's premier Daniel Andrews. She is on Twitter supporting Daniel...even beyond politics...Catherine is there for the Arts, for the aboriginal people, for the environment. And occasionally we get the personal touch...a furball alarm clock.🙏 pic.twitter.com/ArviNTlfAe

In between all the challenges of being who we are and where we are in 2020, Catherine role models leaving room for appreciating the small treasures of life... esp Nature's gifts. https://t.co/WbUUSpk4wR

peninsula mystery...

There’s something on Mornington Peninsula that hums throughout the night. EVERY night for months.
What the Hell is it?

— Kangadoo Collins (@KangadooC) July 11, 2020

Yes...There are some strange night sounds...At first, I thought it may be night winds carrying sounds from the not too distant Mornington Peninsula Freeway...Or is there night activity at nearby quarry? Then why, I ask, have I not heard these sounds before until the last few months...Selwyn Fault system awakening?

NOTE: The Selwyn Fault runs roughly north-south from Seaford/Frankston to Rosebud. Then it cuts inland across the Peninsula to Cape Schanck. The Selwyn Fault forms the eastern edge of Port Phillip Bay.

progress?...

I wonder if the 'historic wrongs and injustices' include the neglected/down-played/omitted stories in our history of aboriginal successes and achievements. Should more focus on the latter be in our school's curriculum? https://t.co/DPXkYEvX64 https://t.co/CMfs2of3ef

romantic forest...

The unexpected, ochre red grasses in the foreground add a unique perspective to the forest worlds beyond... And the lighting is magical...

moody drama...

A moment that appears simple...at first...The focus tends to be on the central, lone figure... But further reflection... the woman's dress + the direction of her gaze at a small incident + moody light all suggest there's a story or two here... And what is the background spire? https://t.co/5e43OtXGoI

inner tree...

The door to your inner tree is always open...
All it takes is to walk in that direction...and reflect awhile... https://t.co/RrSAa3qEtt
