beyond the prickly clutter...

The Sunday rain on my tin roof, insists that I lay in bed and think.
So I do...
And here is old Amos before me, on the ceiling:
out there in the gumtree hills,
drinking tea from a bush mug, held ironbark hands.
His pale eyes cast to the ridgeline, to back then...

Here is an enigmatic rising above the prickly clutter of social and political climates...
Always Tim implies that it is best to befriend those moments close and lingering...

The constants...
The soul mates...

And it is then that you gather the strength
To wage a stand against the more vicious intrusions in your world...
See them for what they are...

Hollow shadows...
Hollow
Aimless
Variable
Wanderers...

Rise above...

And see other blots as
Passing
Insubstantial shapes

Very very small
Aliens...

Light Sower...

Interesting that a female figure has been selected as the sower...in the pose of leaning, suggesting 'going forward'...And the light seems to be in the form of a pool...

NOTE: The artist's name should be 'Chmilar'...
And the title of the painting should be 'Light Sower'...- an oil painting on aluminium...

Colmenar de Oreja...

Love the lighting dimensions...

I hope you have better luck than me. I spent 10 HOURS discussing my wifi issues via online chat last week.Problem wasn’t fixed but my “case” was marked ‘resolved’. I’ve only just finished shaking 😖

UPDATE: Finally, Sunday 2nd August...6:30pm News - Janice is the newsreader...

almost wild quiet...

Almost like wild quiet... or quiet wildness... This stunning scene begs for an oxymoron to get close to an apt description... Beauty dusky tones... https://t.co/Mk0YahH0v0

new traffic...

Just heard a strange whirring outside... It seems that with no cars on the road, there is a new kind of 'traffic'... skateboarding 😗... (Sorry - not a great photo... this rider was whizzing by my driveway... 😒) pic.twitter.com/E2wQZRtwkO

My little furball has just had one of her 'I want more attention' yowling + tearing round the house at breakneck speed sessions...right after being fed...I clapped my hands...She went to the kitchen pantry cupboard, opened the door and yowled in there...Now outside...huffing... pic.twitter.com/NgHiqSECME

UPDATE: (an hour later) ... She is now happy to have rumpled my bed
and is snoring peacefully there...

A beautiful couple of hours in winter sun on the verandah reading this delightful book today...

What a journey it is going to be...
