At first, this image taken in Rosebud doesn't seem so crazy.
But when the details are put together, then it does seem so.
It is Spring - hence all the Spring flowers - but there's no sun.
It is raining - light rain has been falling all morning (and will be all this week again), but this guy strolls along without an umbrella.
It is slightly cool with a touch of mugginess - so the man wears a red hooded jacket in case of more chills?
It's Saturday morning - and the highway near him has hardly any traffic. Usually vehicles on a weekend are bumper to bumper at this time of year - weekend getaways, campers preparing for the Christmas holiday season and, of course, the locals.

It's almost that time of year when the machines stir up the waters of Port Phillip Bay.
Here are the first just offshore from Dromana.

In my wanders round McCrae last Sunday, I found a strange house with no conventional front entrance.
This is the entrance for guests, suggesting a gang plank to a ship.
McCrae is a village on Port Phillip Bay just south of my Dromana home.
Mother ship welcome

These are new shops at Bittern, replacing the old General Store.
Some are still empty and offer a wonderful reflection opportunity.

This sign at Rye on Port Phillip Bay is a little faded and a little battered, but still it has interesting charm.
I don't think that I have ever heard of a snorkelling trail before.

A bright yellow door on a boatshed at Dromana.
Somehow the flowers across the door way suggest that it hasn't been used for awhile.

We are still getting large doses of Spring rain in Dromana, but at least they provide the opportunity for some quirky reflections!

Quirky gallery at Tootgarook on the Nepean Highway - Port Phillip Bay coastal road.
We have an ever changing array of paintings, gifts, glass, jewellery, mirrors, mosaics. Lots of quirky, interesting pieces! Giant personalised caricature cards done to order. Fabulous for any occasion! Portraits done from photos.
The chicken element of the sign is an invitation to explore the art in the gardens and find out why the chicken crossed the road!

From a cliff top distance, it is amazing how defined the shadows of these walkers appear.
This photo was taken at London Bridge Ocean Beach on the southern end of the peninusla.
The Spring/Summer weather is very unpredictable with a leaning to cool, hence the variety of clothing styles!

This may be only a temporary sign, but community events on the Mornington Peninsula get bold advertising.
Home owners are willing to wear such a sign for awhile, like this one!
Most community events are well-sponsored by community businesses.

Himalayan Journey is a fascinating little shop just off Main Street, Mornington on Port Phillip Bay.
Imports of Himalayan products - mainly felt - are a feature.
Sales support the poor Nepalese women and give them an income.
The shop also supports the Shouangchou Village school in Tibet.
Felts, silks and candles
Bright Himalayan wonders

A bike parked right by Safety Beach on Port Phillip Bay.
I was surprised to see it just left near the wildflowers and the walkway.
Perhaps its in view of the owner on the beach.
