30th September

nothern hemisphere a month where nature begins to die
the lust of new year begets the last day of september a birth
gone the cull of nature another baby born today

Light overcoming..A dark time arriving Harry A sharp contrast is shown in this apt piece.' I am seeing the long shadows, in my mind on The nullabor in June, on an early morning start Out from Penong we were, still a dirt road then Got stuck West from Yalata, and went back there to get shackles made to replace the broken ones, that had stranded us.' A whirl of Memories now around me.'

Just as the sundown is the ending of the yesterday, the sunrise is the beginning of something new. Congratulations on your win Harry.

Wow, it is such a lovely expression! The demise of the previous season is a prerequisite for every natural reborn, Harry. Be blessed

You're in luck, Harry, because you'll soon be experiencing spring and summer while the rest of us will soon be bracing ourselves for colder weather. Excellent work here. Best of luck to you in the contest!
