Bridge from the Nest to the Gardens by KazM

This is the bridge that crosses the Myall River from Teagardens to Hawks Nest. / It was taken on the way home from a good meal to the B&B.

Thanks to the hosts of 50 things for featuring this work. Their encouragement much appreciated. / / This pic was voted in the top ten of a challenge / in the group “Rivers, Lakes and Dams” then / selected for the home page, my very first such honour. / Then it was featured in the PEACE, LOVE & TRANQUILITY Group. / Recently it was picked in the top ten in the avatar challenge for the Black with a touch of colour group. / Thanks to all who voted for it. / Many thanks to the hosts of all groups for their encouragement! /

MY PHOTOGRAPHS AND WORDS, I CAN ONLY HOPE WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN. IT IS 2007, I BELIEVE, ISN’T IT. KNOW THIS MY BROTHER WAS LOVED, AND ALWAYS WILL BE. DAVID WAS GAY.

NIGHT AND SAND by martin venit

WHAT’S YOUR JONES. WHAT BLOWS YOUR DRESS UP. ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR CAN YOU ROLL. UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN, OR ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES OF CRACK HEADS ON YOU WAY HOME AT DAWN. I DISRESPECT NO HUMAN FOR CAUSE, OR EFFECT, AND NEVER EVER TO FRONT. NEVER. EVER. NOT IN MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT A “YARN” TO ACCENT MY ART. TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT, AND IT IS SURE TO FOLLOW. DISRESPECT PEOPLE AND YOU CAN BE SURE THAT ON THE TRAVELS THAT YOUR MOUTH TAKES YOU, THE WRONG PERSON AND YOUR LACK OF DECORUM WILL CROSS PATHS. IT WILL BE THE SECOND TO LAST JOURNEY THAT YOU WILL TAKE. GUESS WHERE THE LAST ONE WILL BE TO. POINT OF THIS ‘CODE OF THE STREET’ POEM. EARLY OR LATE, WHY WOULD ANYONE DISRESPECT, ANOTHER HUMAN BEING IN THE FIRST PLACE. / cannon5D / 28-105 / 1250 iso / no flash / -1 ex
