reminiscing...layers of reality...

Today's reminiscing...a little different...
At times, I like to experiment with my photos...creating layers of reality...
This one = my favourite place in Dromana - by the sea with a view of Arthurs Seat + a humble garden wall by my carport + an April flower...

go to plan for mental health...

My go-to plan...
1. Reading and writing...lots of it if indoors is a must...
2. Lots of breathing + walking among trees or by the sea outdoors + reading and writing there. Sadly, the sea option is diminishing with the growing inflow of summer holiday crowds...

no more tarred streets and mowed lawns...

PASSING THOUGHT: More and more I don't want to tread tarred streets and mowed lawns...I want to feel the sands by the sea and the grit of earth in open spaces...I want to feel blessed by big skies...It's a yearning my spirit knows too well, but hasn't felt for a long long time... pic.twitter.com/4aS8KAuXXb

beach treasures...

Found beach treasures are the very best... Always surprising...Adore that blue of course, but the variety of your treasures is quite amazing...

beautiful mystery of the sea...

Such fascinating, mysterious sea life...
I dragged the photo to Google images, but nothing seemed to match or come close...
Incredible and beautiful mystery... https://t.co/YqnDbQgvO8

UPDATE: I have now learnt that this is a Anemone Phlyctenactis tuberculosa - wandering (or swimming) sea anemone...

remembering Thirroul...

It seems that many lifetimes ago I wandered the beautiful NSW coastal views of Thirroul, Austinmer and Bulli...Thirroul is where famed English writer, D.H. Lawrence, wrote much of his novel 'Kangaroo' in 1922. https://t.co/SisUwNHdYv

take a little time out...

Take a little time out for a sea view... on a cliff... enjoy the big sky... the rush of waves ... and the salts of the air...
Take a little time to breathe... and refresh...

Thinking of you both... You are amazing...@CathLAndrews @DanielAndrewsMP pic.twitter.com/VqAsOEd75N

a small, anxious walk...

PASSING THOUGHT: Took a small, anxious walk by the sea this morning. It was windy and the sunlight was patchy. But the time was refreshing... Waves burst with energy and seagulls wheeled overhead. The few walkers were braced warmly. I'll admit...I was glad to see few walkers... pic.twitter.com/g7RFEFBkdQ
