A rather cute rain shadow...
But somehow I feel the dog is not overly impressed with his impromptu artwork... https://t.co/VnhT5IsqD7

evening kookaburra...

I haven't seen kookaburras on my verandah for some time now...Too much building construction next door...
My partner used to love the kookaburras...
But this evening, in fading light, as I stood dreaming on the verandah, one came right next to me...

my Christmas wish...

However you celebrate this Christmas season...
with family, friends
or alone...
may you find the sparkle,
the beauty
and the hope
embedded
in your inner universe...#Christmas #holidayseason #Christmas2021 pic.twitter.com/wyBwFRlzRp

kookaburra profile...

So love this little kookaburra's profile...
So much character...
He is here on my verandah railing in the Dromana Hills... pic.twitter.com/WtusKndk1x

Midday clouds over the Dromana Hills seem to be on a special, secret journey to the horizon today.... pic.twitter.com/Ql3raPrvcb

Strangely, again, this Twitter post presents the subject in stronger, more realistic colours than appear here...yet those colours pale when this post is viewed on my laptop...I don't understand why...

inspiration from the humble and small...

Sometimes, it is the humble, very small, ordinary elements in this world that inspire the imagination... pic.twitter.com/HZpGxMug1v

a Waiting for Godot moment...

I seem to be into Waiting for Godot moments today...
Amazing what shadows on a panel of weathered verandah wood can suggest... pic.twitter.com/V4ZtuwFwoh

From this point of view, my Waiting for Godot moment (in the last post) seems to be hanging in space...
Yes...my imagination is more than a bit 'out there' this morning...
On the flip side, it could be called the leering profile of procrastination... pic.twitter.com/CyX9JctzKw

partly in synch?....

It's a partly sunny Sunday morning...
I'm partly geared up for grading student work...
And this little feathered friend on my verandah is partly stepping forward...
The world is in synch today... pic.twitter.com/FkwdlgyvRP

refreshing afternoon dip...

My verandah chair collected quite an amount of pooled water after heavy rain...
Feathered friends find this an awesome gift...a refreshing afternoon dip... pic.twitter.com/aOgjA7Fnxc

I couldn't believe managing to capture this sprightly bird the moment it whipped out of the water...It looked like a ragged mini mop...

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 8, 2021

Who cares if I look a bit scrunched...
That dip sure felt good...
If truth be told, this little noisy miner had quite few dips in the water pooled in my verandah chair... pic.twitter.com/9WBpRZDYfg
