Pillow Face

For the end of October each year, Mornington Peninsula people create crazy, unusual scarecrows for the annual scarecrow festival in the hinterland.
(The scarecrows become a street feature and it's fun to follow the trail!)
This one at Red Hill decided to hang around a little longer.

Recycled pieces
A pillow, hat and blue jeans
Voila! Weird scarecow

Shadow Shapes

A bike parked at Dromana Hub.
Just like clouds, I find that shadows cast some interesting, even unexpected shapes.
I can see a duck pulling a wire framed buggy trailer.
I think I need another morning coffee.


The shape of shadows
Like fleeting scenes in stories
Decoding fun

Now where to go?

Coolart wetlands at Somers


It's time to be still
It's time to do some thinking
It's time to reflect

Boat Signs

An interesting collection of signs on this boat suggesting a few stories.
The "Teri-Lyn" element implies a partnership.
The boat advertises family fishing trips + cooked breakfast. That implies an early morning sail.
But tucked away to the side is a "For Sale" sign.
A bit sad.
Apparently the Teri Lyn is an old boat made of Kauri pine in 1968. Ref: The Bellarine Taste Trail

Message of signage
Implies a hidden story
Like a curtain call
