a gem in a harsh world...

This beautiful image of a tiny bird reminds us that in a world of harsh realities, always look closely...There may still be a small gem of sweet softness just waiting to be appreciated and valued... https://t.co/mFT3jpAur4

knit me a fence...

Today seems like a good day for some weird and wonderful news...
Knitting a fence sounds like an inspired idea I wouldn't mind trying...
Yes...I am a knitter...
(A possible after-moving project?)
Now to seek out some suitable curtain rods... https://t.co/wGRhN0it2A

a leap of faith...

Adore the 'mystical' background tones surrounding this kangaroo action shot...
There is something inspiring about this moment...
Not all barriers need to be climbed...
A leap of faith could do the trick...

Tilly's morning...my morning...

After hearing the sharp rise to 450 Victorian cases reported this morning, Tilly easily symbolises me...seeing the view I would like but unable to reach...for now...just for now...
Would love to sit in that little green corner with such a glorious landscape beyond the fence... https://t.co/BCPdztYvlR

bird skills...

A bird doing a Samson...(rocking 2 pillars)...
A bird doing the splits...
Bird yoga?...
Whatever it looks like, I want to know...
WHY?????... https://t.co/Ay7Sffbf0a

Perhaps a bird ballet? Perhaps a new wave form of meditation...

flowers in the vet carpark...

My Twitter day needs some flowers...
Here are some smiling in the Dromana vet carpark yesterday...
The shadows are there too...
But the sun remains strong... pic.twitter.com/1TUNUC0Hc5

Spoonville...

The REAL Spoonville is coming to life at Langwarrin, Melbourne - thanks to some teamwork from Wahgunyah Crescent residents who have created their very own “Spoonville” for locals to enjoy. Over 200 “spoon” residents!https://t.co/inti7ylwfb https://t.co/YJbb11QVFQ

Even my little Dromana world has a Spoonville community outside the Early Learning Centre. 

rabbit fences...

So Australia had the rabbit-proof fence, symbolizing the division between English culture and the Aboriginal world (film 2002) but is indeed a long fence to deter rabbits from crops + pasture in WA . Berlin had the real division between East and West, but rabbits were welcome. https://t.co/h1kDVeu3zM pic.twitter.com/4z0S4cuU1z

stonework...

Back to 'fences' again...Love the stonework boundary round this home in Dromana...There are a number of professional stonework artisans in Dromana... pic.twitter.com/sMoAjZs1Sd

flowers on fences...

What a wonderful, thoughtful idea... Perhaps a child? going by the flowers selected?

I noticed this morning, a winter morning (5degrees centigrade), just how far away the shadow can be from its source...There's a huge space...and the shadow is distinctly smaller...

as it was...

the chainsaw party dregs
all cleared away
they have the prized sea view
and their nightly chatter resounds
more loudly than ever

This is how it was just 11 days ago under approaching stormy skies...
Little did I know then that the real storm came not from the skies...

I feel a little rainified sunshine...

I feel a little rainified sunshine in the cold, late afternoon winds...
