Dramatic red and white boat shed on Dromana beach
Bold stripey drama
Some red and white carnival
Daring beach presence

California Buckwheat
California buckwheat in bloom
Buckwheat blooming bright at dawn,
Cattle munching on the lawn,
Mowers cutting grass for hay—
Perfect rural summer's day!

A Ruby Lipped Mask
My students in Year 9 English have just completed a study of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
They were required to create a character mask for their assessment oral.
This is one of those masks.
Many beautiful masks were created, so I decided to make a display of them in our room.
Shakespeare's art lives on
Still he reaches youthful minds
Still he can inspire

Ruby-Clad Guitar Man
Rainy afternoon in Morelia, Michoacán, México
Ruby-clad guitar man,
Still humming your sweet song,
While running from the rain—
Don't stay away too long!
Missing your sweet music
Is making my heart swoon;
Don’t think I can stand it—
You gotta come back soon!
Soon as that old rain quits,
And skies are clear once more,
Come back, my guitar man,
To sing at my front door!

It's Fun To Be Dressed in Red!
Swimming carnivals are a great opportunity to get all dressed up in house colours!
("Houses" are groups - often given names of people significant in a school.
Each one is assigned a colour. The prime colours red, green, blue and yellow are usually assigned.
The houses compete in swimming and athletics carnivals and sometimes in debating competitions.)
The buzz of dress up
Imagination can fly
Like crazy drama
