Distant Lone Tree


Coastline area at Mornington overlooking Port Phillip Bay
Some refer to this area as Royal Beach because it is just beyond the old Royal Hotel.

Wired


A view of part of a fence on a property at Red Hill.
It seems to be made to fence the property and to support the plants.

Peninsula Honey


Pure Peninsula Honey is an amazing business at Moorooduc.
Not only does the business make and sell honey, but it makes use of the beeswax for such things as lip balm, candles and soap.
It has been operating for 25 years.

Stripey


Whenever I see this pair of boat sheds by Dromana beach I think of toothpaste.

Latticed Seat Shadows


Shadows round oddly angled seats at Mornington overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
Perhaps they take in perspectives of the bay, yet they seem so close.

Evolving Gardens


Like a gateway to the Mornington Peninsula area, Cranbourne Botanical Gardens showcase a wonderful array of Australian plants.
It is a huge area, constantly evolving.
This is a view of a new section of the gardens in the first creative stages.

Point Leo Watcher


The Point Leo Surf Lifesaving Club on Westernport Bay is an unusual design.
It was built in 1990 and extended in 2001 to include the Tich Taylor Tower.

I love picket fences...


Picket fences always reach my romantic soul.
This one in Dromana seems to complement the verandah styling well.

Detailed sign at the Blairgowrie marina.
I was amazed that they even encourage those who may be wheelchair bound.

Both Sides Now


A Zen like scene of wintry Dromana beach and Port Phillip Bay.
The prompt for Song-Ography is Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now.
- light and shadow of the wall
- pathway and sands
- sands and sea
- sea and sky
one side is only an illusion


two sides
two visuals
two feelings
