Guided by Signs

Written by benjamin on April 14th, 2009

Anyone who’s been paying attention to this site will know that I’m a pretty big fan of signs and how we use simplistic images to convey powerful messages.  This image in particular is one of those examples and just happens to be one of my favourite signs in recent times.  Simple, straight to the point.

Warren River National Park.

Still Waters

Written by benjamin on April 13th, 2009

The Warren River is not so much to look at in early autumn, owing mostly to reduced water flows and the somewhat sluggish nature of the water.  That said, framed in lush green foliage, once can only imagine what it’d look like with a brisk winter flow.

Watercolour

So I decided to post a watercolour painting I recently did…

…actually, I lie, but, it had you going for a bit, right?  Still waters, Big Brook Arboretum.

Centre of Attention

If there’s one thing you can be sure of with geese it’s that they have a finely tuned nose for when there is food around or when it is feeding time.  Suffice to say, there is little that will distract them at this time (which is all of the time) unless you happen to come between them and said food, in which case you’re in for a beaking and a hiss.

This lovely lot roam the gardens at Ford House in Bridgetown.

For Karen

Happy Birthday Karen; may your next year be the best you’ve had, and yet not the best to come.

Vantage Point

The many grasses that bind sand dunes together take on a very warm hue, generally, in late afternoon sunlight.  Conversely, in winter, they seem almost morose pinned against a grey sky.

Pacing

In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.

For Deakin

Little fingers, tiny toes
Baby scent, button nose

Little baby, growing tall
I will catch you when you fall
You’ll grow up, now wait and see
One day you’ll be as big as me

You are my life
You are my soul
I’ll protect you
It is my role

Little fingers, tiny toes
Baby scent, button nose

– Alyssa Brooks

Happy Birthday little man, I look forward to seeing who you become, from your first tiny steps through the path of life to the mountains you ascend.

Rockforms over Salmon Beach

After another weekend sojourn resulting in a few days of missing photos, I’ve returned somewhat refreshed.  A more consistent flow of images to come!

Salmon Beach looking north

Mist whipped up by late after breezes assaults the cliffs to the north of Salmon Beach, in the D’entrecasteaux National Park.
