My peninsula offers so many moods of so many waters...I love the feel of them...

white-washed morning...

white-washed morning of
whipped clouds
fragmented silhouettes
await the colours
of the day#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo clouds #5lines pic.twitter.com/2CDYTyxEKi

Love seeing a morning sky bundled in soft white fluff on the move...Quite exciting...

old visions...

scaling the rungs
of here and now
old visions
tune up and
dare to thrive#tanka #MayTanka #NatankaMo #5lines https://t.co/ryV6GOivcO

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have a second look at old visions and bring some back to life again... 

smiling...

smiling
in synch
the moment when
a deep bond becomes
visible music#tanka #MayTanka #naTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/yX1sLSicJs

The 2011 Westernport Festival parade at Hastings gave my camera many opportunities to capture some rather special moments...

my friend and I...

my friend and I
enjoy
the passing faces
of your reality
through a window#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/OQplEmrH3i

The wonder of a child is a sacred sanctuary...

a sudden rush of tears...

a sudden rush
of tears
from nowhere
a parade of joy
that could have been#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/g6f12wyEkH

Unexpectedly, a flow of feeling will erupt that really has no particular rhyme or reason...
It may be the result of many memories in conflict...It may be the result of a memory that never was...

sacred light...

So much golden magic in this little space among trees...

guards of green
a small aisle climbs to
sacred light#haiku

As soon as I saw this image, I thought of a small church and an aisle, waiting for an intimate wedding...

relentless...

winds can be relentless
versions of chaos
unhinging reality
till the present can never clone
the past...again#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines #COVID__19

It so windy outside tonight...doors and windows rattling...almost like old souls have risen up and are wailing that the world...move on...

Correction: The Red Hill Art Gallery is in Brisbane...confusing when I have a Red Hill close by...

layered waves...

shining tumble of
layered waves
along the shoreline
luminous sundae
for the heated soul#BraveWrite luminous #tanka #MayTanka #NatankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/lLSKHr31WR

Yes...I am totally addicted to watching and feeling the moods and motions of the waves, of the sea...

sipping nectar...

sipping nectar
and gathering pollen
drive a bee's world
a rhythm, a cycle of
taking and sharing#vss365 bee #tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/meTLJRvtRt

These flowers are a favourite with bees in my peninsula world...
