Just Be

when the darkness lifts...

I have been so busy lately completing school reports (and the weather has been filled with icy rain),
that travels with my camera have been rather limited...
But I thought this morning's light on my back verandah was quite scenic...


when the darkness lifts
any light
is beautiful

before the heat wave...

If you are wondering what early morning skies look like before a heat wave, here is an example.
These are yesterday morning's skies before the temperature soared to 43 degrees centigrade on my peninsula.
The patch of water you see on the verandah is all that's left of the night storm after another scorching day.
(Today's morning pre-heat wave skies are on my Greyscale HERE)


before the heat wave
feathered cloud beauty
brushed with warning


The above photo is the "water bomber" passing over my home headed for a nearby fire.
This is how our heat wave began last Tuesday.
The fire was at Heronswood - an old 1842 homestead + thatched roof cafe.
The homestead was saved but the cafe was guttered.
Photo of the cafe on fire is HERE
Photo of fire - when freeway near my home had to be closed - is HERE.

We both have wings...

Kookaburra and crimson rosella on my old verandah railing.


We both have two wings
We both fly the depths of skies
But we are diff'rent

Waiting...

It hasn't taken the kookaburras long to adjust to our new verandah.


The food train's running late today.
