The Manic Monday word Prompt: Crop Come and join in with your crop photos

I wanted a photo of the pink ball but the stall holder was watching me quite closely. He didn’t want his New Age stuff spread over the internet I guess. So I took a surreptitious photo. Here is a result of cropping in stages.

The inspirational quote from Debbies at Travel with Intent

Sob, heavy world
Sob as you spin,
Mantled in mist
Remote from the happy.
-W. H. Auden

Sob not elegant bird
Sob not as you fly,
Mantled in mist
Clothed in the joyous.

The word prompt from Frank at Dutch goes the Photo: Layer

A while ago whilst driving home I just had to stop and capture the scene across my valley. The layers in the landscape with a bit of mist in the valleys

Another day up the highway from my place. On a rainy day the layers of cloud darken the landscape.

Feature photo – many layers in a rock shelf

I even found a song called Layers

Terris Sunday Stills: High #Flight

A Square-tailed kite soaring over my place.

The beauty of Sacred Ibis in flight
A Crested Tern on the hunt for a snack

A Wedged-tailed Eagle being harassed by a Magpie

Flying ahead of a storm – A Wedged_tailed Eagle and clouds

The Square-tailed Kite coming in for a closer look

I thought that this song was most appropriate for my post. If you have time listen to the second live version

Some Rocks I Found

The Ragtag Daily Prompt Sunday: Rock

I have found rocks in my travels around where I live. Let’s start with some from my place. I love to find these blue rocks when I walk about my property.

The most wonderful rock I have found at my place is this hand axe. Goodness knows how old it is as the indigenous people have transversed through here for thousands of years. When I picked it up and held it, it just sat in my hand easily. I bet the bloke who lost it was rather annoyed.
