moody drama...

A moment that appears simple...at first...The focus tends to be on the central, lone figure... But further reflection... the woman's dress + the direction of her gaze at a small incident + moody light all suggest there's a story or two here... And what is the background spire? https://t.co/5e43OtXGoI

inner tree...

The door to your inner tree is always open...
All it takes is to walk in that direction...and reflect awhile... https://t.co/RrSAa3qEtt

stories in secret places...

bridge of many arches...

A stunning scene, but it is the reflected bridge that is the star of the show - artistically linking all the elements together. The many arches are like multiple windows connecting here and there. Just beautiful. https://t.co/6EHQlqXylo

Samuel Amess, from Scotland, who made a fortune in the Victorian goldfields and became Mayor of Melbourne in 1869, kept a small fold of black Highland cattle on Churchill Island, (near Phillip Island) in the 19th century.
NOTE: Although a group of cattle is generally called a herd, a group of Highland cattle is known as a "fold". This is because in Scotland's winter, the cattle were kept in open shelters made of stone called folds, to protect them from the weather at night. Source: HERE

beautiful drawing of a dog...

EXTRAORDINARY drawing by young artist Sarah Fletcher from Glen Innes, NSW. The dog's eyes and the positioning of the paws are so expressive of an emotional moment.https://t.co/dfhbWeyUdi pic.twitter.com/tPeoqarX0r
