Sight to behold

strawberry bushes in the sunlight, Hillwood Berry Farm, Launceston, Tasmania — Hillwood Berry Farm, Launceston, Tasmania

Basking in sunshine,
showing off to greedy world—
strawberry bushes.

Drop dead gorgeous

leaf-less tree with branches extending in all directions — Cataract Gorge, Launceston

Limbs branching outwards,
in a posing match with trees,
I’d lose, fall as leaves.

Sail away

private boats docked on the harbour on a cloudy day — Launceston, Tasmania

Sailing out to sea,
not a single cloud in mind—
a sky full of them.

Missed

crystalised gum on a eucalptus tree - Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Canberra — Crystallised gum on a eucalyptus tree, Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Canberra

A sturdy gum bleeds:
spectacle for humankind—
looks but never sees.

Winter is coming

frost on grass

Crunchy leaves snuggle
under a frozen blanket—
a morning wander.
