life goes on...

PASSING THOUGHT: Just before nightfall, (still feeling down after the pressures of the day), I looked up from my computer and glanced through the window...A huge flight of birds...ibises...travelling to their ritual spring nesting grounds at Coolart, Somerville...
Life goes on...

teacher stress...

PASSING THOUGHT: I know I shouldn't add to the current quagmire, but today has been a super challenging day of not just doing remote learning but supporting struggling students (lots of emails)+closing the day with teacher welfare PD incl survey of school procedures. So hard 😒 pic.twitter.com/zE6WuUPZ28

special place in the world...

Everyone deserves their own very special place in this world...
Sometimes, it is up to others to make it happen...
Just gorgeous... https://t.co/jEOox7eo9Z

an outback sunset...

The radiance of a sunset - especially from the inner sanctum of outback Australia - energises the spirits...
So beautiful... https://t.co/6UUJJHoUVJ

the cushion brigade...

On a whim, (translate as 'a desperate need for a pick-me-up), ordered me a bit of 'non-essential' from a local store online...
My Dromana place in the world all wrapped in a cushion...Make that 2 cushions...
Even my street is mentioned... pic.twitter.com/vwyEbOYBPy

joys of remote learning...

PASSING THOUGHT: The joys of remote learning...Our online learning portal has crashed-since 7:15am...Can't access lessons or email students...An hour has gone by + still not working... Perhaps students are delighted...Meanwhile, teachers keep checking and checking and checking...

The trunks of snow gums have such wonderful, fluid flows of colour... https://t.co/vW4aoUM8Qu

my poetic vibes...

my poetic vibes
wander blindly
in some desert
hoping to sense
an oasis#tanka

amazing hollow tree...

An amazing hollow tree...
Perhaps timeless secrets are ticked in there...
This park, in Western Australia, features karri trees... growing up to 90m tall... making them one of the world’s tallest hardwoods. https://t.co/QJK67g9rmE

ethereal misty morning...

I'll add this to my little gathering of magical morning skies...
Can't see them?
Ahhhh...That's because they are so close in the ethereal mist... https://t.co/L4O5nSzw0m
