Melbourne's crazy weather...

Lightning's hanging around the Mornington Peninsula right now...Sharp and bright cracks at times...
Not to be outdone, thunder adds some rumbles to the percussion.
I've ducted heating on+a candle glowing for comfort...or maybe practicality in case power's lost...
Where's summer?

Hope our dear little quokka (short-tailed rock wallaby) doesn't feel that this may be some distant cousin...
The little quokka is no puppet to anyone... https://t.co/MYppCbsFrk pic.twitter.com/1Z3MF46PVo

at holiday time...

PASSING THOUGHT:
At holiday time,
I seem to seek a splinter or two of Emily Dickenson...
quite content to drift from thought to feeling...
I see worlds through the eyes of other travellers...
I explore random ideas...
I feel little compulsion to join crowds...

holidays...

holidays
offbeat worlds where
strict sleep and food
landscapes
thaw #tanka

streams of light...

streams of light
may be here
may be there but
electrified
barbs
must pass #tanka https://t.co/M2w0wb793h

wintry wind's stealthy coup...

wintry wind's
stealthy coup
lady summer feels
assaulted
abused #tanka

what summer?...

Nearly midday,
and our peninsula summer temperature
is a mere 15 degrees
with a cool wind blowing
and a few blinks of sun... https://t.co/mUeWDryHKF

earthquake in Victoria today...

Western Victoria had a bit of a 'shaking up' morning today about 8am...
This 3.7 earthquake rocked the Stawell and Ararat area near Glenorchy... https://t.co/1UHL8Ie9h2

when life's rubble
needs cleansing#haiku

beautiful mystery of the sea...

Such fascinating, mysterious sea life...
I dragged the photo to Google images, but nothing seemed to match or come close...
Incredible and beautiful mystery... https://t.co/YqnDbQgvO8

UPDATE: I have now learnt that this is a Anemone Phlyctenactis tuberculosa - wandering (or swimming) sea anemone...
