Sunset clouds arouse
memories from another Spring —
Sit with me, old friends
Cloudscape
canberra
Brindabella rain
Austere old mountain
Suddenly smiles a rainbow
Everything smiles back
A robin in lockdown
A flash of colour
Piercing a grey, heavy day
Thriving without us

Gauntlet
King swooper's gauntlet
Who among you will brave it?
One foolish biker
Celebration
I hear corks popping
Gang-gangs invite everyone
To celebrate Spring
***
* fact of the day: in case you didn’t know, the gang-gang cockatoo's call sounds like a cork squeaking out of a bottle. Enjoy listening to it: HERE
Pandemic Polo parrots
I watch the parrots,
chatting, bounce between blossoms
Joy is a lifeboat

Peach tree paladin
On the peach leaf stage
A heroic ladybird
Slaying an aphid
View of Mt Gingera from Pryor’s hut
Flame scarred eucalypts
Stand naked, pale, defiant
In a changing world

Kangaroo paws
Proud kangaroo paws
Straining to reach last Spring's peak
The bees console them
Never
I left Canberra
But my heart never left you
Branch across the sea
