light and shadows on Christmas Day..

It was a warm Christmas Day on my Mornington Peninsula,
touched with the whisper of a sea breeze...
This is a view across Port Phillip Bay outside the Portsea Hotel  -
where we had a gorgeous Christmas lunch...


it was a warm day
a beautiful Christmas
to remember

Beginnings and End of Shadow

The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness

and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. 

Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. 

The forms of bodies could not be understood 

in detail but for shadow.

-Leonardo da Vinci-

Merry Christmas to you All!

it's beginning to look a lot like summer...

summer in the Enchanted Adventure (aka Maze) Garden at Arthurs Seat...

where warm light plays
dancing a tango 
with shadows

Shadow play

Ruins of Hore Abbey, Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland

Play of light and shadow,
On the ancient stones;
Can't you hear them singing,
All the dead men's bones?

Covered Bridge

Poetry is not only dream and vision; 

it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. 

It lays the foundations for a future of change, 

a bridge across our fears 

of what has 

never been 

before. 

-Audre Lorde-

Covered Bridge displayed at Hanover Park in Burgettstown PA

Cacti 'forest'

A stand of cholla cacti in early November, Anza-Borrego Desert, Southern California

"Forest" of cacti,
Sharp shadows grow,
Piercing the desert—
Needles of woe.

Illusion

Do not be misled by what you see around you,

or be influenced by what you see.

You live in a world which is

a playground of illusion,

full of false paths

false values and

false ideals

But you

are

not

part

of

that

world

- Sai Baba

Spines and shadows

Spines of a cholla cactus, Anza-Borrego Desert, Southern California

Spines and shadows mingling
On the desert floor;
Something is a-tingling—
Who could ask for more?

That means that SSS2 post next week will seem to appear an hour earlier.

Late afternoon shadows, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona

Shadows in the mountains,
Shadows on the shore,
Shadows in the desert,
Who could ask for more?

Shadowy wash

Shadowy wash, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona

Shadows in the deep wash,
Cloud puffs in the sky,
Wandering at noonday,
But I wonder why...

Sandy shadows

Shadow of a yucca, White Sands National Monument, Alamogordo, New Mexico

In the desert white sands,
Glowing in the sun,
Spiny yucca shadows
Stab me just for fun!
