Pavement Patrolling Pigeon

Pavement Patrolling Pigeon

Sydney Australia September 2022

Pigeons are beautiful creatures. This one gave me the opportunity to have a very close look. On what I'm sure is its regular feeding ground, I sat to rest legs and eat something. This particular look in pigeon language translates to something like 'Well? When do I get my share?' 

Little Raven On Winter Wood

Little Raven On Winter Wood
Broken Hill Australia August 2022 

One of the walks the hermitage residents took in that desert place passed a century old church. Outside that church stands this tree. And on this tree sat this bird. Beauty everywhere. A tree, a bird, a blue sky with pink clouds of approaching sunset makes for an almost abstract scene. Sometimes the material world 'Ain't so bad' to coin a phrase.

A forest of palms transplanted to the concrete of the harbourside. Truly adds another dimension to that cliched description of cities as 'concrete jungles'.

The Buddha welcomed us to the Hermitage in the desert, and there we stayed for a few months till the call came to once again set out on the pilgrimage road.

The Ferryman Waits and Watches

The Ferryman Waits and Watches

A small space and time of quiet waiting for the ferry to dock. This ferryman keeps watch while he waits for that arrival. Then then he will shepherd his passengers onboard for their journey.

Walking slowly and mindfully I allow the world to find my eye. And my heart too of course. Here's an appealing reminder that we will find beauty everywhere, including the ground we walk upon.
