2012.05.13 -Mothers Day... As I stand on Currimundi Beach, enjoying my little sunrise ritual, the sunrise brilliant, the skies clear, setting of a gorgeous day...


Here are my visions...


Enjoy!

Ann street, Currimundi Beach

Webs in the sunlight...

My faithful companian, my guardian, my Llaso Apso - 'Milo'!

Namaste...

2012.04.25 Anzac Day Sunlight

It is Anzac Day - 25th April 2012... I had grandparents that put their lives on the line for us, so in memory of them all...

The Ode

The Ode came from 'For the Fallen', a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon and was published in London in The Winnowing Fan: Poems on the Great War in 1914. The verse which became the League Ode was already used in association with commemoration services in Australia in 1921.

For the Fallen
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flash of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

There wasn't too much sun in the rise this morning, so it became about capturing the light and cloud formations as I saw them.

Enjoy...

Namaste

2012.04.09 Sunset from Ann St, Currimundi Beach

Monday 9th.... the last of my holidays (kids still get another week - not fair), but even though I was all geed up for a sleep in... my body clock was thinking otherwise!!


5.45am... rise and shine... 'go catch a sunrise' my mind was saying, whilst I raised one eye lid to check the time...OK Milo, let's go then (as he looks at me with those big brown puppy dog eyes - don't worry, I do say 'no' occasionally..)! 


So as I followed the sun this morning, this was what she returned...

Gratitude for the cloud band that delayed the show till I got there..

Footsteps in the sand... someone has walked before me!

Ann St Pandanus - clearly hanging on to life!

by its toes...

As the rays start to shine...

and the sun begins to glow..

such a glorious site to behold!

Sun rise and rays...

as the waves crash onto the rocks in the morning light...

Mans best friend.. 

Some nice surf to the right of Ann St rocks..

A great day to catch a fish... or at least try!

Pandanus silhouette ~ reaching out to the light....

Full moon still to set, but bright reflection due to sunrise!

Namaste..
