Magpie Tales #89 - Picture Prompt

Windowless
Like my mind

Walls stained with the blood of
Anger and
Broken dreams
Like my heart

A desk marked with curled
Blank slates
And one
Twisted
Noose of
Confusion

But the typewriter
Shines
As if new

Dustless
Unloved

Mein Kampf

Perfect

Umbrellas slowly are appearing - at least occasionally - on Dromana beach.
But they won't appear this week!
Rain all week is forecast!

I was photographing the swimming gull at Dromana beach but managed to capture an extra pair of wings!

Just Magic

On the Nepean Highway which runs along the coastline of Port Phillip Bay is this tiny shop facing the beach at Rye.
In the midst of cafes and surf style shops, it seems an odd feature.
But it seems to attract lots of customers.

Little magic place
Little bit of fantasy
Like a real dream world

Purple Beauty

Spring flower still emerging in my Dromana Hills garden.
I think this is a daphne, but I am unsure because the scent is very light.

Sweet purple beauty
Like Nature's mystic candle
Lighting the day hours

Little Girl in Red

Photo taken at London Bridge Ocean Beach on the Mornington Peninsula.
I zoomed in from the cliff top on this little girl who seemed busy with some kind of fishing!

He walked with me...

This guy decided he was going to walk with me awhile along the Rye foreshore on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula.
He even deigned to smile for a photo shoot!

Four legged new friend
Quietly walking with me
Surprise connection


Finally he decided to wander off into the morning shadows seeking his owner.
(Earlier, I saw his owner on the sands.
Originally the dog was romping in the surf chasing a stick.
I left the beach for this walkway and the dog followed me!)

A Touch of Pink

Soft pink roses are just starting to bloom in my Dromana Hills Spring garden.
Just wish they could entice a little more warm sunlight!

Soft layered petals
A gentle kiss of pale pink
Magic of a rose

Red Cheeked Scarecrow

It's Scarecrow Festival time on the Mornington Peninsula.
Each October, the hinterland parades a range of crazy features outside the hinterland properties.
This entry is near the tiny collection of shops at Red Hill.

A scarecrow lady
Seller of market flowers
Her face beams sadness

Lolly Shop Corner

Little corner of the lolly shop at the Enchanted Maze Garden, Arthurs Seat.
Above the head of the little angel is a track for a model train.
The train runs the whole perimeter of the shop.

Sweet little corner
Old fashioned lollies and new
A taste of heaven

Circus of questions...

Sherman Alexie - The words come from his poem The Powwow at the End of the World.

Circus of questions
Dancing shallows gathered feet
A cloud burst topples

Bright lightning bolts drop
Shoulder causes broken hoops
Broken storms forgive
