early morning in the bush
a bird call from afar
leaves sway in the breeze
roos hop fully alert
powder white sand
azure blue sea
how magic this place be
then a stir a buzz
as people swarm in
for a picnic in paradise

no just revisiting before our family home is sold … it’s too far south for me 🙂
I used to hang out here heaps in my teens but ‘progress’ has changed it!

Glistening verse, Kate, hypnotizing the reader with beautifully evocative images.
To the point, in fact, the pictures are unnecessary, other, maybe, than to reinforce the point.
And that they do, magnificently. The total package hums, both in word and in photo. Spectacular!

I felt the stir and buzz as an intrusion, even though they too were out to enjoy.

it’s changed so much over the years … paved roads, big toilet and bbq blocks, camping areas … still the crowd was ok for a Sunday 🙂

I sent my friends off for their second hike as I wanted a nap … those birds came right up and sat next to me chatting … two would not give me any space, so cheeky that others noticed them!
