damaging...

so sad that such a sign needs to hang around a small wetlands...
sadder still, the sign appears to have been vandalised
- pulled out of the ground and propped against a tree trunk...
This sign is in the Hillview Community Reserve wetlands in Dromana...


damaging
earth treasures means
ruining our own

flurry of shadows...

cockatoos taking off from my back yard...


wings
beating a hasty retreat
flurry of shadows


and then they settled...
all except one...

uncluttered...

not really anything particularly interesting in this landscape...
no particular view....
and yet the simplicty of just pale yellowed grasses framed in greens beneath a blue sky
offers quiet beauty to the spirit...


uncluttered
no sign of life's pressures
just earth life and sky
