Sketchy Sky
A rather sketchy morning sky viewed from the Dromana Hub carpark.
Somehow it seemed to be symbolic of warming weather.
Sketchy morning sky
Like scattered winter feathers
Flimsy winter chills

Strolling Winter Sands
Even in winter, walking the sands of a peninsula beach is quite a common sight.
This is Blairgowrie beach and the weather was unexpectedly warmish and even sunny for awhile!

Boatsheds at Blairgowrie
Boatsheds on the Mornington Peninsula are often creatively coloured.
(Some - especially at St Kilda and Brighton, north of the peninsula but still on Port Phillip Bay - used to be bathing boxes in the early 20th century!)
Here is a selection at Blairgowrie on the southern end of the peninsula

An Eden Mailbox
An unusual mailbox in Dromana.
It features 2 elephants in the form of a crest.
And the word Eden appears beneath them.

Curvy Home
An interesting house style in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
The reflections in the top windows seemed to suggest that the home was part of the sky and treetops!

Hog's Breath
These boats rested at Blairgowrie Yacht Club on the southern end of the peninsula.
I am always intrigued by some of the quirky names of boats.
Perhaps this particular boat really connected with another yacht club in Queensland, Australia's north eastern state.
Hog's Breath is the name of a cafe chain throughout Australia that has invented the word hogspitality
So the boat name becomes an advertisement for a cafe chain!
One way to create a sign!!

Climbing to Arthurs Seat National Park
The walk from the open spaces of Hillview Community Reserve up into Arthurs Seat National Park is quite steep.
But all ages attempt it.
And it's good to stop and turn around around to admire glimpses of Port Phillip Bay.
On the way up, a dam makes a great resting point.
