Heat

Franks Tuesday Photo Challenge: Heat

The end of the day.
Setting sun.
Feel the heat
wash over

The intensity
of the sky,
Burning
through the trees.

The Suns fire
absorbing the air,
Taking the sky,
melting the clouds.

Thoughts drift,
Heat takes
its toll,
At the end of the day.

Time

Frank at Dutch goes the Photo’s word prompt: Time

I had some
questions
to ask.

I went to ask
a bee
about
flowers, honey and
things all bee.
The Bee said
“Sorry I don’t
have time”

I went to ask
a Golden Whistler
about a song,
a whistle
in my head
The Whistler said
“Sorry I don’t
have time”

I went to ask
a Lewins Honeyeater
about
the taste of
a Bromiliad.
The Lewins Honeyeater said
“Sorry I don’t
have time”

I looked around
with questions
in my head.
Questions of
bees and nectar.
Of songs
of Golden Whistlers.
Of the sweet taste
in flowers
from the Lewins Honeyeater.
No one had
Time.

From the green
pasture
I heard a
voice.
“Sit yourself
down,
inquiring mind,
I have Time”

The Force of Water

Frank from Dutch goes the Photo word prompt: Forces

Near my property, sometimes the Clarence River rages when the rains are here and the rivers flow is enhanced. The Clarence River at Lilydale can flow at a sedate 8mgs/day and sometimes a summer flow may get to 12,000mgs/day. Today after some considerable rain fall, the river is flowing at over 20,000mgs/day. When the flood waters hit the river levels rise to over 100,000mgs/day. Once the flood flows reach Grafton, they can be at 5,000,000mgs/day

Here are some flood flows showing the forces of water in action.

The Clarence River at Lilydale on a lovely day. The river is a bit higher than normal flow.

A minor flood flow. The bridge was constructed low so when flood flows occur, the rivers debris doesn’t impact on the bridge.

This is a bit of a lower flow. The water is making waves as it flows over the old wooden bridge.

The Bottlebrush trees are able to withstand the flood flows as the have supple trunks and bend with the flow.

Yes. That is 4 meters above the level of the bridge

The changing hills

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

This is on the road on my way home. This vantage point overlooks the valley where my property is, with the Great Dividing Range in the background. My place isn’t in the photos. It is further to the right.

Here is the many changes I have taken over the past few years coming home in the afternoon.

A relatively sunny day
