A body of water surrounded by trees and greenery - Cotter dam, Canberra — Cotter Dam, outskirts of Canberra

Pool in a forest,
nestled within seclusion,
self-sustaining, life.

Worthy of a crown

Eucalyptus trees along a creek, Canberra

Royal family,
flaunting from their balcony;
trees on my bike path.

Hold your ground

Large and luscious tree along the bike path, Canberra

Protesting in peace,
against greedy land grabbers,
spreading love, strong roots.

A sight to behold

sunlight peaking through the tree barks, Canberra

Angled forty five,
head tilts; Labrador gazes,
mesmerises sun.

I see you

a pair of purple swamphens, one looking directly at the camera, Canberra — Purple swamphens by the Lake Ginninderra, Canberra

Moving gingerly,
as predator towards prey,
worm eater locks eyes.
