Unity….. imagine
I love this photograph of a pelican my daughter took while at the Perth zoo. It almost looked like an eagle’s wing, at first. Massive and beautiful. The wing, filled with black and white feathers joined together. Imagine……. The day wasn’t bright nor shining. No. More the kind that haunts inContinue reading “Unity….. imagine”

My interpretation and explanation for ‘Silly’ today, is simply that the yellow represents the lovely yellow shirt our granddaughter wore whenContinue reading “Silly Saturday: Yellow and Greens”
Spring Splendour at King’s Park Perth
What a show! Acres of everlastings, pathways of magenta, burgundy, claret kangaroo paws, with tall dark, handsomely curving branches framing Perth city views. I was off to the city for a not so fun appointment which finished early. An ‘early mark’ that was fun.
