I TOOK THIS PICTURE AT A PLACE CALLED VENTNOR
ON PHILLIP ISLAND IN AUSTRALIA.THIS IS OUR
LITTLE PIECE OF PARADISE WHERE WE GO TO GET
AWAY AND I THOUGHT I'D SHARE THE BEAUTY OF
THIS PLACE WITH YOU.

* * * * *

I come here to escape
The stresses of life and such
When I'm on holiday with my family
This place offers so very much

On a good day you can see forever
Across an ocean of sapphire blue
So much beauty is all around me
And so very breathtaking is this view

Complete relaxation is afforded me
Whenever it is I come here
A perfect place to collect my thoughts
At the end of another busy year

I feel so very fortunate
To share this paradise so fine
A place many can only dream about
The peace and tranquility is so divine

The bird life here is abundant
I watch with interest as they roam
From magpies to spur winged plovers
They all live around this home

I watch the seagulls catch the thermals
As they fly with so much ease
They soar the skies so effortlessly
Moving so gracefully with the breeze

I feed the birds each morning
As they come from far and wide
This place gives me so much inspiration
I find it difficult to remain inside

This place of timeless beauty
Is like a precious jewel in the crown
How privileged we are to stay here
So very lucky with what we've found

My favourite time would be at sunset
This vantage point is one of the best
I watch the sun melt over the ocean
Spreading amber as it comes to rest

So many photographs I have taken
From this place so lovely and serene
And I realise each time I come here
I am actually living out my dream
