The Ragtag Daily Prompt Sunday:Something

It came from there
I heard him say
the water
splashed again.
What is in there?
I heard him say
a seagull squawked
a crab scuttled.
What shall we do?
I heard him say
the sand
crunched underfoot.
Something’s in there
I heard him say
The drum
rolled
What shall we do?
I heard him say again
they looked at each other
Something they said
in unison

Judes 2020 Photo Challenge #11: Texture

Get in close to a Banksia spinulosa, commonly called a Hairpin Banksia and Bush Candles, seeing why the Banksia has that name. The inner green and the form to yellow with blueish purple tips. 190411_blog_challenge_flower_banksia_spinulosa2
Once you get to see the full flower the colour change is dramatic with the dominant colour becoming orange and a Bush Candle lights up the bush.

Eggs, just eggs

The Weekly Prompt Wednesday: Marketed Eggs

Chooks
Eggs
Big
Small
I have some eggs. When a chook first starts to lay, often a tiny egg is layed. This is just a shell and a bit of white. These are about the size of a thumb nail. Then as the chook gets older sometimes the size of the egg increases. At one stage I had around 60 free range chooks and was selling eggs all over town.

Here is a bit of my egg collection. The shells are intact but the contents have dried.

Get ready to run

The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #88: Chaos

A casual stroll
the leaves crackle
underfoot.
Watching birds
the sky above
calmly.
A stop to see
up there
searching.
Unaware below
near the feet
danger.
They sense intruders
this is theirs
forest.
Looking down
a tingle sends
messages.
Here they come
from the nest
rushing.
Quick move away
running in
chaos.
