Natural splendour, real musics, wines, wordpower
This is a sequel to yesterday’s post, which addressed the very same tree and the same tune.
This post’s photo was taken a very few minutes after yesterday’s, in essentially the same conditions; “today’s” bark also sits on the lower trunk, and is less than a metre distant from “yesterday’s”.
The particular quartet responsible for “today’s” performance is a splendid foursome who never existed as a regular unit, nor ever made a studio album, as such.

In one sense, absolutely nothing is timeless, most especially living things.
In another sense, however, many things are timeless – no matter how many times we see or hear or feel them, some things always reward our attention.
Today’s post and tomorrow’s post address the same, individual tree, and the same piece of music, with its composer present on both (different) occasions.
One CommentEver wondered how speakers/singers of Spanish or Portuguese would render a duck’s “quack”?

Tomorrow, Western Australia’s west coast is expected to experience a “once in ten years” storm event, with winds that could gust to 130 kilometres per hour.
Today’s photo shows a much gentler day in a beautiful south coastal WA place, but it still shows how wind – especially salt-bearing wind – shapes, sculpts and prunes.
Musically, today’s venues are in Tokyo and Bahia.

Literally speaking, the middle of the road is usually dangerous, and soulless.
Metaphorically speaking, “M.O.R” signifies music, visual art or literature that is bland, dull, pedestrian.
This post’s actual middle of a road is, however, “safe” only in the desirable sense, and its musical content is highly creative, very playful.

“Aglow” describes the appearance of the plant in this post’s photograph.
The same adjective fits the emotional state/circumstance so vividly remembered/evoked in one of Patty Griffin’s finest songs.

Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly
Our toes, our noses
Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.
This one is probably the most popular African flower among Australia’s gardeners.
This post’s example was photographed on Anzac Day afternoon, in a petite, surprisingly lush parkland, on the “doorstep” of Perth’s CBD.
Today’s musical selection was inspired by an African flower…or, perhaps, by an imaginary one, blooming in a jungle, somewhere…

The image shows the sky above Australia’s Perth on 13 April 2020, at 5.31 pm – 27 minutes before sunset.
You almost certainly already know one of this post’s three sky songs, but almost certainly not its particular version.
