It has been a long, harsh, hot summer. Softening autumn light is finally here. Hopefully, consistently cooler weather is to follow soon.
Bogie autumn

Cycle of life
I wonder if I will ever get back on my bikes
free to ride wherever I like
living with arthritis is a constant pain
I do hope I get to ride again
luckily I can write to fill my time
put some cycling photography into rhyme

Seagull view
Did you see the seagull
standing on the lamp post
looking at the scenery
taking in the view
ooh ooh
Stealth tram
the stealth tram
nobody can
catch easily
because in camouflage
it arrives stealthily
Native Daphne
Budding native Daphne
very quickly had me
on my knees
if you please
with camera focussing
happily
White crane blue glass
white crane meets blue glass
red coils and tram lines
stop look can't pass
compose image and refine
photo taken general view
enjoy the process
and the shot too
Xanthorea
It's good to see ya Xanthorea
gathering in the forest
your handsome forms and spiky hair
well combed to keep you modest
your food laden tail of unrivalled scale
flags you as altruist unprejudiced
your coming together in all kinds of weather
shows how best to coexist
your invisible feet step slow and repeat
toward timely arrival for greetings and meetings
you are never late with your shuffling gait
your committee nothing short of enchanting
it leaves room aplenty for your language of rhyme
to talk things through and determine what is true
resolving prime issues one at a time
until everything works out absolutely conclusively perfectly fine
Harro & Jack
Walking and rolling
with Harro and son, Jack
under giant California Redwoods
in Ballarat
where they hold up the sky
and you marvel at that
but just being able to be there
is something else to marvel at
for a father and son
called Harro and Jack
while creating another
accessible walking map
it is my great pleasure
to be part of all that
public art
I love the part
played by public art
for the stories it tells
for the stories that well
for what it says about us
in artists we trust

Griffin
can you see the griffin dance
across the garage door
the sun made griffin just by chance
of course I wanted more
more the sun would not give me
and the griffin faded fast
this was my very first griffin
alas I expect my last

Look Pa
"Look Pa!" and I look
a hand an eye
a playground nook
and I smile
that's all it took
another image
for my photo book

Tableland walking
Walking Boundary Hill Road in dappled sun
from the Mannas and Blue Gums lining the run
the trees are magnificent and so is the landscape
when you are walking here the feeling is great

14 Yarra views
Melbourne’s Yarra River and embankment can be busy places. I have published some of these photos before, but thought this group made a nice new set.
It's the river that binds
Melbourne's spreading towers
to the city
and when the weather is good
it looks oh so pretty!

Lost
I put a penny in my pocket
and on the way I lost it
I lost it, I lost it,
and on the way I lost it.

Because on another day to come
