Old Annabelle

This wonderful old car was on display at the Dromana Australia Day 2013 festivities.
I loved the car and loved all the signs attached!





To drive is tricky
Shock absorbers don't apply
But what a fun ride

It began grim grey...

Early morning skies last Saturday - Australia Day - were what I would call intimidating.
This is a sky view on Dromana foreshore at 8:00am.
But, within a couple of hours, blue skies were smiling.


It began grim grey
But thanks to a sudden wind change
Our light beamed with smiles

A Cool What...????

This is one of those photos that maybe should become closely acquainted with the delete button.
No thing (and no one) is complete!
It's a mystery of bits!
And yet, it has kinda grown on me!
This photo was taken last Saturday midst the crowds celebrating Australia Day on the Dromana foreshore!
I was trying to photograph the dog, but he kept twisting and turning!
I noticed the assortment of feet and footwear - but they kept shuffling!
I noticed the stroller + Australian flag - but they became hidden!
But then I had the chance to get bits of all this together!
I snapped!
(Actually, it was an accidental snap out of frustration!)
So now I have an interesting abstract of ....?????
And yes...
I think I like it!
It's different!
It has a story!
It's cool!


Crowded kind of art
A gem of incomplete tales
Waiting to move on

C is for celebrations...

C is for celebrations...
(Continuing my series on the Mornington Peninsula)

Celebrations especially include Australia Day in Dromana...and last Saturday 26th January was that day.

Far from the idea of barbies and beer drinking
- that seem to have been popularised as the Australian way -
this celebration by Port Phillip Bay includes:
* fun run at 8:00am in the morning along the foreshore
* free breakfast - bacon and egg roll
* rides for the little ones - incl a ride in the surf rescue boats
* activities for the little ones - incl face painting and art and holding animals
* a display of vintage cars
* local produce for sale - e.g. Peninsula Honey
* fly over of planes from Tyabb airport
* music on a stage - from early morning till 1pm
* and all the while, the sea and sand welcome those who just wish to enjoy the views of many colourful sails on the bay

Here is a collection of photos from last Saturday's Australia Day






Sweet celebrations
Communities bond in fun
Our Australia Day

Ride a Yellow Bug!

Part of an attraction for the little ones at the Australia Day 2013 celebrations beside Dromana pier.


Try riding magic
Though the time may seem so short
The moment lingers

Australia Day in Dromana

A view of Dromana pier and the queue of people waiting for their children to have a ride in the surf rescue boats - part of the feature of Australia Day in 2012.
The beach, pier and foreshores are the setting for Australia Day in my Dromana world.
It all begins with a free community breakfast from 8:00am till 10:00am.


A wonderful day
When communities gather
And enjoy their world



It's Australia Day today!
