Sprout
The Ragtag Daily Prompt Wednesday: Sprout
Among the dead
dying flowers
a new bud
sprang to life
lighting the gloom
with a sense of renewal
The forest floor
tiny sprouts
wave their
tiny heads
seeking attention
sunlight
hope
Sturdy red
standing tall
calling all around
to witness
new life
a sense of purpose

In My Garden
The Ragtag Daily Prompt for Tuesday: Garden
Have a quick wander about my garden.
Blue-banded Bees like dropping in
When the pink Crocus flowers the Stingless Native Bees all come around
One of the wheelbarrow gardens with Hippeastrums
The Frangipanni flowers scent fills the air
The Bromiliads flower too
One of my favourite flowers – Cats Whiskers
The Dietis look great buit trhey are taking over in places in the garden
One of the many Hibiscus flowers
The Agapanthus put on a show around the garden borders
The garden is a place to relax
Even Long-necked Tortoise stroll through heading to the dam
Every now and then when working in the garden, I surprise a frog. The Broad-palmed Frog took a while to wake before hopping off
Lots of Bottlebrush flowers
The Pelagoniums add colour
There is always help in the garden
So many Grevilleas too
The Native Wisteria winds its way among the foliage
Always wear gloves and shoes as you never know who you might disturb. The Mouse Spider was rather fiesty
The Bullants let you know if you are getting too close to their nest
Every now and then another variety of fungus appears
The garden is a lovely place to raise a family
The fruit trees look wonderful in Spring
and of course the garden is home to lots and lots of birds from the smallest Honeyeater, the Scarlet Honeyeater
to the larger birds like the Satin Bowerbirds

The Aeroplane
It was an unexpected sight.
To see the aeroplane
on a frightening flight
What would happen next!
At the airshow the crowd
strained their necks.
Watching to see the aeroplane
spiral and turn.
Was the pilot insane.
In the sky he did twist
close to the ground
a wonder he missed.
Back safe on the runway
The pilot waved and smiled
to him, just another day
In response to three challenges
- Lens-artists: Unexpected
- Weekly Prompts: Sky
- Ragtag Sunday: Flight

Marbles
The Ragtag Daily Prompt Monday: Marble
When I saw the word marble I was transported back to the school ground. All the kids playing marbles in the many forms that were around and popular at the time. I am sure we had names for the games.
There is a small dish of marbles in my house, probably that belonged to my daughters as my marbles have long gone – the glass ones and the mental ones.
Here they are, the glass ones that is….

Quest
The Ragtag Daily Prompt Wednesday: Quest
I have always liked the idea of a quest probably from reading King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table as a youngster.
Over the years I have set myself a number of quests. These quests involve getting a photo of something I have seen but never able to get any good photos. I have written about one such Quest
I take my self imposed quests quite seriously, much to the bemusement of my bestie who sometimes won’t stop the car when I see what could be an opportunity or calls out when we are going out “What are you doing?” Most times I am ready to go but just outside chasing butterflies, dragonflies, stalking a bird or getting that perfect shot of a flower.
Here are some of my quest conquests.
A Blue Triangle Butterfly. They don’t land that often and have an erratic flight.
A Royal Spoonbill. I have a few photos but never seemed to be able to get close enough for a good photo.
Rainbow Bee-eaters. Always on the move, never settling for long.
Catching that Bee in flight
The featured photo. Always trying to get birds in flight. An ongoing quest.
