Some beauty for the day

Today wasn’t the most productive day for writing – I managed my minimum word count, but nothing extra.  Summer is starting to drag on, and it looks like we’re in for at least another week of hot, humid weather.  And while hiding in air conditioning with a book or the laptop isn’t something that I hate, neither is it something that I enjoy for extended periods of time.  I crave being outside, with nothing between me and the sky.

The above photo was taken in Broome, one of favourite places in the state.  There is deep magic in that red dust and in the boab trees.  I am trying to capture some of it in Never, this deep magic that belongs to Australia alone.  I fear that my words will never be enough to capture even the smallest part of it, but I try nonetheless.
