Ruby Cactus Blossom

Cactus blossom, El Charco del Ingenio, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Why are you amazed
that the brightest flowers bloom,
nestling among thorns?

A Touch of Winter Red

It's still Winter in Australia!
It's still time to rug up well!
A touch of red suggests a touch of warmth!


The breezes may blow
Chilled air and pale sun
Don't stop the walkers

Preacher Man

Evangelist preaching on the street, Morelia, Michoacán, México


Preacher man a-preachin’
To the sky and to the birds;
Don’t you wish you understood
His message and his words?

Story after story comes
Pouring from his tongue—
Sometimes fiery tales
‘bout the world when it was young;

And sometimes dark allusions
To sin and hell and such;
Doesn’t bother me a bit—
Well, at least not much!

In Ruby Light

 

This little character is under infra red light at the Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale.

The sanctuary's specialty is protecting Australian endangered species.

Like a small dragon

Hoping to be understood

Hoping to live life

Ruby Wisdom

Wisdom figure, home of artist Anado McLauchlin, La Cieneguita, Guanajuato, México


Wise one standing guard at night,
Wise eyes gleaming with delight;
Standing guard by day as well,
Keeping back the hordes of hell!

Red and White Drama

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!
