Doorway to Adventure

An enticing doorway in Zacatecas, Mexico


They told me to look behind the dark door,
The door that was outlined in red.
They said that I’d find some gold on the floor—
At least, that’s how I heard it said.

But when the door cracked and I went within,
I found only dust, and no gold;
Dejected and poor, I’ve taken to gin—
And now my sad story is told.

Ruby Time!

A rosella in my Mornington Peninsula world enjoying the sweetness of apple blossom.

Glowing red feathers
Like a bright flash in the sky
Like a living gem

**DID YOU KNOW? Red is the colour for beauty in many cultures!

Get Your Ruby Fix Here!

A young street vendor sketches while waiting for customers, Zacatecas, Mexico


With customers scarce,
He picks up his pen,
And draws to his heart’s content.

And now we all know
The bent of his soul—
And where all his pesos went!

Leave Your Rubies Here!

A couple in Plaza Genaro Codina, Zacatecas, Mexico


You are an orchard.
When will your sweet fruit ripen?
I am ravenous!
