Foggy foggy river

Foggy, foggy river, Shivers, sending ripples racing, Tracing the earth’s stretching, Fetching the gulls in from the sea. Trees, stark black, leaf fall flutter, Shutters creak, damply swinging, Flinging droplets wide, dripping, Slipping in muddy patches, Snatches of song floating past, Last night’s paper lying, soggy, Foggy, foggy river.

There might not be (m)any Neolithic remains round here, or wild places unmarred by urban development, but there are some things that we can’t destroy, like the reflection of clouds in still water. The river looked so placid this morning I had to try and photograph that stillness. The…
Winter warmth

Strolling in the warm sun, Into the soft south breeze, The river glitters Beneath whirling flocks, Water ripples To the noisy dance of the gulls, Their plumage, Colour of shadow on snow, Only reminder There is such a thing As winter.

Cloudy shkies Nothing but cloudy skies… Well, almost. Here in Sydney, we’ve had record rainfall for the month of August. Sure, the sun has broken through, even delivering days of unremitting sunshine. But, overall, it’s been a grey, soggy month. Not to complain, though. Misty days can be exceptionally…
I’m Looking at You…

Little Black Cormorant I’m looking at you… So thinks this Little Black Cormorant. Despite their reputation for liking rocks, I rarely see them there. They seem to prefer to swim, dive, fly, or perch on the top of the shark-proof net. So this is a rare photograph in my…
Foggy Morning…

Misty morning Here in Sydney it’s winter-time, and lately the morning light has been masked by fog on more than one occasion. Sometimes, a light shower or two of rain causes a similar effect. It’s quite pretty to see the river and surrounding banks clouded with mist. At least,…

All Along the Wire…

All along the wire… All along the wire… Little Black Cormorants love to dive: hence their need to dry their wings. Sometimes they chose to spread them out while resting on the rocks in and around the baths, but now and then they choose somewhere higher. Enjoy! Copyright ©
