I have always been fascinated with rocks...shapes + colours + textures... This is an outcrop of rock at Rye, south of my Dromana, on the Mornington Peninsula... pic.twitter.com/Sw2G57QjJs

seas fraught with moods...

bow to
the salty scents
of seas
fraught with moods #tanka https://t.co/8mH53T5klj

Trees by the sea in my peninsula world often are twisted into unique shapes... Can it be the salts in the air or the relentless winds that come and go or both?




Trees on the Rye foreshore...

crested scavenger...

crested scavenger
seeks tiny joys
in mottled beach sands
only he and his muse know

clumps of lone greens...

clumps of lone greens
defy the call of friendly soils
and wait for winds
and wild seas
to whisk them home#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/Z2Lt0Tl3ek
