community spirit...

 


Community spirit is very much alive and well in Temora...
This sign is permanently displayed outside the Community Centre in Hoskins Street...
Plates of Plenty was launched in 2014 = free lunch at 12:30pm cooked by volunteers...


And on the steps, sheltered, outside the Community Centre's entrance doors is this trolley...
The bread rarely lasts long...
I see it as I walk down to the shopping centre in main street...full...
This is about all that is left when I return...

the Eighth Window...

life will break you...

if I must die...

the enchantment of jacaranda blossom...

Christmas in Hoskins Street, Temora's main street...


Loving the more subtle reminders of Christmas in the main street of Temora...
The tree may seem plain by day, but by night, the tree sparkles with magical, tiny lights...


But no worries, there are plenty of little shops offering your Christmas bling fix if you need it...

(Admittedly, some shop window bling melts into the Christmas package of parked cars beyond the window...Yet still it fascinates and charms)...

for one who goes alone...


perhaps

you wanted to be alone

with your multi-faceted personalities

but I hope you realise

I was there

always

waiting in the wings

waiting for glimmers of love

and

as a token of my presence

I left you shells of love

from our beach

the one we visited each Good Friday 

until you just missed

the last one
