Coastal escape

Just back from a week on the coast, strolling along beaches, clambering up rocks and enjoying the empty expanse of the sea. 

sea flings

waves across the sand

salsa dancers

eternal wash of waves

dog retrieving ball

again and again

winter sun

warms my wind-chilled cheek

your longed-for touch

wood-ducks

jostle for crumbs

lakeside cafe

sea heaves

waves upon the rocks

a mother’s sighs

Alice Springs sojourn

Many distractions from blogging - back again with a few haiku from Central Australia.

Rain had fallen and the desert was green and the gorges full of water.  Miles of rocky ridges divided expanses of sand and stone.

dressed in green
desert dreaming

 

I met many interesting people, some just for a quick conversation.
