my son was Vergil?...

An intriguing thread...
My son was about 5...Constantly he told me that his real name was Vergil (or Virgil)...not exactly a common name these days...He said he owned a big house in beautiful countryside...The only Vergil I know was a Roman poet (The Aeneid) in Augustus' era... https://t.co/J269MVTDzH

sparkling waters...but I'm staying home...

PASSING THOUGHT: It's a beautiful sunny day in Melbourne today...+ the waters of Port Phillip Bay are not far away...I see them from my verandah...But it's the weekend...I'm not venturing out...Too many will be drawn to sparkling waters...I cannot take the risk of contact...sigh

I have only slipped away into the next room...

This touched me deeply after my little musical longing last night...

navigating a tight rope...

Finally, this morning, I found a tiny character attempting to navigate a tight rope...a fine webby one...
However, not too far away...I saw a spider...waiting...
(Sorry...no good photos of the spider...It was even smaller than this character in the photo...) pic.twitter.com/eOXWjMrhzq

morning street shadows...

Love morning street shadows...esp when there is no traffic in sight...So refreshing...
This is a view of my street...
The duck, mentioned earlier, found this an ideal 'speedboat' runway... pic.twitter.com/q2lfSGcXpo

green flowers...

Another grand find of the morning...a green flower...a shrub of green flowers...No idea what they are called, but they are a unique addition to my Dromana Hills garden spectrum of colours... pic.twitter.com/OIO9770meF

sit and watch the world...

Amazing what you see if only you take time out+ sit+watch the world around you...outside...
I was sitting on my front steps, + a duck flew low, past my driveway+along the street at speed-boat speed...
(Too unexpected+fast for a photo)...
That's one joyous event...more please...

Began my 'well-being wine' weekend with a little early morning walk around my Dromana Hills garden...
I found some earthly sunshine... pic.twitter.com/2YTrULNKw7
