To The Moon Alice: 11-11-11






















I Guess He Didn't Hear Me










11-11-11


Hi Everyone!!.. I'm very late with my moon post!! This month Full Moon fell on Friday 11th of November. Remembrance Day for Australians and other countries of the Allied Forces of the First World War. A day to honour those that fought and commemorate the Armistice signed on this day in 1918, that eventually brought about the end to the war.  



Each year.. millions of people around the world observe a minutes silence on the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11 Month..  This year was a little different..  For it was also the 11th Year . There's been much  hype as to the significance of this numerical event. The repetitions of 11's has long been thought to signify both remembrance and a start to new beginnings.. better times.. A chance to reboot one's life.  So this year millions stopped to pause and not just remember, but hope for peace for our futures.



AS ALWAYS I took myself off to the beach to watch the moon rise and reflect on what has been and what will come.. To see the moon's light dance across the water and spread a pathway to my feet fills me with anticipation and excitement for tomorrow.. The fullness of her energy is contagious... and I do believe she was radiating HOPE...  So that is what I will name her this month.. The HOPE Moon.  




She's still playing in our skies.. 
So get out there ... enjoy her brilliance and



Catch A Bit Of Hope!!

Walking With The Wild Things
















































WALKING WITH THE WILD THINGS



I'm still trapped here in the 'Bermuda Triangle of Stupid Stuff' ... but each day it seems it's grip on me is dissipating... Soon I'll be back to my beloved evening walks along the bay... camera in hand, capturing the beauty of the day's end.. Watching the wild things wash and play at the water's edge after the heat of a summer's day...

Speaking of heat.. we have just concluded a week of heat wave days ... topping the chart on Saturday with a max of 43c [approx 110F for you US folk] which groaned on through the night only dropping to 30c in the wee hours... Thankfully by Sunday evening our blessed southerly buster blew in .. and brought cool breezes.. rain.. and dramatically cooler weather.. we are now maxing 21c... but expected to return to summer by week's end.. So.. to those that received comments from me on Saturday... I apologize for my incoherent blabber and blame dehydration and hyperpyrexia .. For those that didn't.. I apolgize for my absence and blame dehydration and hyperpyrexia ..


I also haven't had a chance to take any shots lately.. can you believe I haven't had a camera in my hand for over a fortnight??? ... So I'm keen to get back to it... and take you along on my evening passeggiata..



....
IF WALKING ISN'T YOUR THING
YOU CAN ALWAYS PULL UP A PARK BENCH
....









....
AND SIT AND WATCH OTHER WILD THINGS AT PLAY
....










Wishing You All A Wonderful Week
