a moving story in the midst of despair...

This amazing story from the US demonstrates far more than perseverance...It demonstrates personal conviction, self-worth and determined hope in humanity... https://t.co/Yhywf017Jp

what if SoMo visits Victoria...

Perhaps even worse...Just 2 days ago, refugee rights activists enjoyed splattering his red car with paint at the University of Queensland... I don't support this kind of protest, but that doesn't mean I can't imagine that it could easily happen in freedom-strapped Victoria...

Not going to spill a spoiler... But that's on the nose...😀😀😀

We need these random outbursts occasionally...

snakes love the beach?...

Apparently, this is not a 'one-off' incident...My son just told me that he's had to change where he walks his pup, + reports of snakes at multiple beaches closest to home (being Maslin Beach). There are also snakes sighted in parks close to his home too. https://t.co/mMUnae0KIA

afternoon spring clouds...

Afternoon spring clouds in the Dromana Hills seem to be indulging in some split personalities or maybe uncertain journeys...
To gather or not to gather...
To rain or not to rain...
Meanwhile, a distant flight of birds tries to assimilate? them... pic.twitter.com/VG3CFbdHZ1

blossoms on my verandah...

Not to be outdone by apple blossoms in the stubborn Spring smiles competition, after wild Melbourne weather, blossoms on my verandah are checking out the world... pic.twitter.com/MkUQPPvsOp

apple blossom...

Melbourne's had some wild wild weather in recent weeks...But my stubborn blossoms keep right on blossoming... Here are apple blossoms 'smiling' at a late afternoon interlude from the furore... pic.twitter.com/yqJGL1T5Pm

circling helicopter...

Helicopter...circling round and round my Dromana area on Port Phillip Bay... not sure why...a little unsettling... questions...questions... pic.twitter.com/OJ6aYhiZ24

It is more unsettling, because this happened this morning for some time, and, the photo above, taken this afternoon, seemed to represent Round 2... In these unsettled times, a watching helicopter, with no explanation, ignites all kinds of fears... 

demystifying the covid numbers game...

Demystifying the covid numbers game at last between NSW and Victoria...A great, clear explanation of how the contexts/situations are different...The numbers alone do not tell the whole story... https://t.co/Hb1IGevGhb

Twitter lifeline...

I have to grudgingly admit that beyond the social connection, (I'm shy at the best of times out in the world), Twitter is my 'go to' for inspiration, to keep my creative sparks alive... Yes...That means that Twitter is a lifeline in these times for me in more ways than one... https://t.co/sPsmdOJilo
