Ruby-Splashed Dianthus

Dianthus, Southern California


Dazzling dianthus,
even toads sing your praises
morning by morning.

Ruby Warning!

An intentionally intimidating sign at the Mobil petroleum property near Hastings on Westernport Bay, Mornington Peninsula.
It was opened in 1970.
Here gas liquids are processed.

The hazards of gas
Contained simmering danger
Risks of new ideas

Ruby-Splashed Rugs and Blankets

The Bullpen, Hubbell Trading Post, Ganado, Arizona


Bullpen is the place to go,
Not for bull or lamb or doe,
But for blankets, rugs and such;
All the shelves are lined with much
To delight the soul and eye;
Come on in and don’t be shy!
You may find just what you need—
Basket, painting or a bead,
Something bright for hearth and home,
Even for your hair, a comb!
For those people in the know,
Bullpen is the place to go.

Ruby Jet Ski

 

Jet ski in waiting outside a Dromana home on the Mornington Peninsula

Funky bright jet ski

Awaits exhilaration

Like fire on water

Reprise: Ruby Splash

Salon on Main Street, Mornington
The sign on the window flashes!

Splash of Red styling
Pamper the hair and body
Some stylish grooming

Magical Mystical Teacher has a dead laptop. Hence, this repeat post!

Worker Clad in Ruby

Stonemason restores the aqueduct, Zacatecas, Mexico


bending to his task
mason shapes the stubborn stone
chipping bits away

Sailing on Ruby Heights

Yacht at the Blairgowrie docks on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula

The lady needs time
Time and space to feel refreshed
O Carol you're sweet
