One Word Photo Challenge: Wet
Random Photos – Week 12/15
On Wednesday I left home early for work, and stopped at Franklin and took some photos.

This is my favourite shot of the morning, I love the misty pale colours of the far shore, the waves lapping against the jetty, and the little morning cluster of seagulls.

I couldn’t resist the flash of the red yacht against the misty hills.

Some of the seagulls started to fly off and I managed to capture this one, but I admit to having to do a bit of editing to get the photo to look smooth. (I had a massive “will I – won’t I” argument with myself about doing so much noise reduction, but in the end I figured it was my photo and I should do what I want with it, it doesn’t have to be “Real Life” all the time).

Just a short way further up the road the Pelicans often sit on this log, sometimes as many as 5 will be there. This morning there were only two, and a smaller fly-in-friend.

The photo was taken on Friday afternoon -on my way home. I saw him in the water out of the corner of my eye as I approached the bay, luckily for me, even though he flew off from the water when I stopped, he didn’t go far.
Hope your week was full of calm, with a hint of colour to liven it up.

Dip my Head
I dip my head
under the water, to be re-assured
my heart still beats
rhythmic and strong
pulsing life throughout my body
I hold my breath, it gently slows
but
just like my grief
eventually
I must let go

Brown Water
I love it when the water’s brown,
I run the bath and sink right down,
for water from the sky is fine,
it doesn’t smell of pool chlorine.
On other days when it is clear,
I turn the tap and live in fear,
of the pervading water smell,
full of noxious, added chem-i-cal.
