brightening the blues

Another kite...

Another kite flying at the recent Kite Festival on the Rosebud foreshore, Mornington Peninsula


Extra sky colours
Dancing with the fickle winds
Like a flying flag

Ruby Bandaid

The owners who live at this property in the Dromana Hills are very keen on recycling.
Garden art - pieces of cars- and even the letter box are made of recycled materials.

Scenic Hoop?

At first, this looks like an ordinary hoop for shooting balls.
But I have never seen one that allows the leafy view of the setting to be seen through the backboard - or such a huge backboard for that matter!
I just wondered why it was so close to the gutter of the carport roofline!
The photo was taken at the village of Bittern on the Mornington Peninsula.


A hoop for shooting
Like an arty extension
Of the nearby tree

Young Riders

Young mini bike riders in the Westernport Festival parade last Saturday.
This is an annual event featuring highlights of the community.
It is the 45th year of the festival.


Daring young riders
Add colour to the parade
Sometimes on one wheel

Red Earths

Red earths/sands are a feature of Cranbourne Botanical Gardens to symbolise the outback, central Australia areas!
The garden specialises in native plants.
This particular area is referred to as the Red Sand Garden, a design feature of the Australian Garden opened in 2006.
More details HERE!


Some natural reds
Like sands from old surfaces
Dry beauty's presence

Icecream Sign

A very popular place in the summer time or the autumn or the spring
and even, on long weekends, in the winter.
This shop is in Dromana, on the main street, facing the beach.
Icecream styles from the cold northern worlds of Scandinavia have made their mark in the warm southern worlds of Australia!
It's good to see features of other cultures on parade!


On a hot evening
The glow of icecream heaven
Always draws a crowd

Ruby Drums

A drummer adding some colour to the Mornington markets held every Wednesday along the main street.
This market has been running for 30 years.


Drumming up colour
And textures of the streetscape
Like throbbing rhythms

Magical Coastline

Beautiful coastline round London Bridge Ocean Beach on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula.
Mini waterfalls, strange rock shapes and pools abound!
And the surf is exciting!

So many wonders
If we only took some time
To just stand and stare

Reality Recycled

I was fascinated by the strange melting of shadow and reflection on this car in a Rosebud carpark.


For just a moment
Odd shadowy reflections
Like wild swirling paint

Red Pillar

In the white world of Martha Cove marina homes, the red stands out.
I am not sure why this particular home has a single red pillar.
It looks odd to me.


White marina worlds
Many white boats and white homes
Lonely red pillar
