Joy

Photo of the sun filtering through the branches of a pepper tree, as seen from below.

Raining down blessings,
brightening up pepper trees—
summertime sunshine.

Paint

photo of jacaranda trees in full bloom with the Opera House in the background

Drops of purple paint;
jacarandas in the rain—
on a bleak canvas.

Lightseeker

Reflection of the photographer and the Qantas signboard on an airport glass wall, with a plane on the tarmac outside visible through the glass, and the strap of a backpack on the foreground.

Buzzing airport lights;
seeking a different high,
solo traveller.

Photogenic

close up photo of a pink rose bud

Typical subject:
shies away from camera—
portrait of a rose.

Trees of life

Photo of the Western Australia landscape as seen from the window of a plane. Green forests appear as patches in the desert.

Tiny blobs of life
coloured green, outside the lines,
trees keep us nourished.
