Dilemma

a footpath in a park, surrounded by green and early-autumn trees, Launceston, Tasmania — Punchbowl Reserve, Launceston, Tasmania

Mildly-trodden path
calls me to a promised land—
to go or stay, awed?

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.

Looking down

viewpoint on a small hill, Grindlewald, Launceston, Tasmania — Grindlewald, Launceston

Perched atop a hill,
jewel of the golden crown—
vantage of the vain.

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.
