odd swirls on a tree...

Love the odd whirl of lines on this old piece of a tree in my garden... pic.twitter.com/eMMcLpuZvq

uncluttered photos...

PASSING THOUGHT: I always seem to be drawn close to uncluttered photos...apparently a simple subject dressed in a context of simple tones...Perhaps that is my need to feel the depths of an artist's spirit in a moment... https://t.co/RUEIg7l6TD

Human Resources Manager...

I have always felt disgusted by the title 'Human Resources Manager'. It sounds like a position of managing robots by number. Do they fit into the systems and slots? Very much a dehumanised title. pic.twitter.com/3zdN339cLJ

a little bit of Australia in Canada...

Amazing where you may find a little bit of Australia...
Brantford in southern Ontario, Canada has a cluster of streets named after Australian cities...
And it took a homesick Australian to publicise his surprise discovery... https://t.co/zm7Nlr1qes pic.twitter.com/A0YdxkdTKO

Launceston v Hobart...

I've been in both Launceston+Hobart many times. In all fairness, I feel the diffusion of light round buildings may generate a perspective of Launceston's 'nicer buildings'. The closeness of Hobart's dark buildings seems to water down the light flow. Not so in hilly Launceston.

lunch at The Heritage...

Special treat today at atmospheric The Heritage, Balnarring...This is my light lunch enjoyed in the company of teacher friends...
Of course, there was a glass of wine nearby too...
The Heritage is a converted 1930's home with a huge covered verandah + great open garden space... pic.twitter.com/1fpDXWBjMd

'deaf' road blocks...

NOTE TO SELF: Don't be shaken by those who deliberately misunderstand you. For some reason, they must elevate themselves by downgrading you. Above all, don't enter into a distressing argument with their 'deaf' roadblocks...Know your truth...Silently, determinedly, keep walking...
