Goodbye

Autumn leaves, Canberra

Stretching trees, shedding
their dead cells for one last time;
autumn bids farewell.

Lest we forget

Autumn sunset at the foot of Mount Ainslie

Snap frozen in time
to preserve our greatest wealth—
nature, photographed.

Tough routes

Climbing Mount Ainslie, Canberra

Badly, barely paved:
the path to nature’s bounties—
as enlightenment.

Companionship

Autumn sunset at the foot of Mount Ainslie, Canberra — `Autumn sunset, Mount Ainslie, Canberra

Self-isolation,
in natural surroundings—
medicare for mind.

Stark contrast

Mount Ainslie lookout, Canberra

See the sprawling world
from up above a mountain—
humans are puny.
