Hanging out in undies behind closed doors with curtains and blinds drawn, waiting for the
Fremantle Doctor ...
Outside the grass is yellow, a bit like straw and crunchy under feet like sundried leaves.
The pavement is blistering hot.
During endless days of intense heat the odd cloud appears to bring relief from the glare.
Silver green leaves dot the native trees that survive with little to no water for months on end.
Weeds thrive, gardens don't.

Now I know what a Fremantle Doctor is. You learn something every day.
Hello Robyn! Hope you have enjoyed your summer vacation. Your pictures are great! It's so strange to think it's hot somewhere on this earth...though we have not had much of a winter here in Kansas which is smack dab in the middle of the USA. It's been unseasonably warm.
Have a great rest of your week and summer!
G'day Robyn. Stunning photos as always. Love the fireworks one and the sunset. Just beautiful. Yes, our good old Aussie summer can be a scorcher. We have had a couple of cooler days here in Victoria where I live, thank goodness, the heat was getting to me. I don't envy you. Take care. Liz...
I loved reading about the weather down there as I sit listening to the endless winter drizzle here in Oregon, USA. I also enjoyed the photos, especially the one of your dog behind weeds. I suppose it's your dog since I saw it in two other photos as well.
WOW! How you tease with your captures of heat, sunshine and ocean while we in Ccnada still navigate the harsh, ever-changing winter. Jealous! LOVE the photos; they sing your joy. Thank you for sharing.
Robyn, These photos are stunning as is your new header, is it one of your paintings? I love her!
Is she for sale? xoxo
So pretty and cheery while I sit in dreary Atlanta, Georgia. Dark and gloomy blah. I had to check out Fremantle Doctor and now want to impress my friends with my new lingo. Can think of all kinds of fun ways to use that one. Keep posting your dreamy photos!
Robyn your photos are amazing, all of them. you make me think I am right there. Glad to visit today. hugs to you sweet friend.
Hehe ;)
some wonderful memories despite the weather captured there Robyn and I love how your pup is standing there asking when can we do it all again. Smiles to you*!*
Hi Robyn, wow - I want to vacation with you :) what a fun selection of peaks into your play time. Your Sidney looks ready for action! adorable!
Thanks for coming by - love your expressive, colorful artwork! Karin
OK, I'm not sure what a Fremantle Doctor is but undies sound like good things to hang out in when it's hot. Oh, and that dog is so cute, I bet he loves the ocean. I have heat envy now though, here in the Northern hemisphere it is much, much colder than there. Lovely shots of your area. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
Wowza, what a great set of photos! SO funny to be looking at summer pictures right now, but what a wonderful vacation.
If my invitation to my now (unfortunately) hidden blog didn't make its way to you, email me at undergroundblog11@gmail.com and i'll re-send it.
wow what a treat to see where and how you live! your city and sea are beautiful, robyn, and it soundsl like summer is very hot!
one photo after another like this is just great. i especially like the two bird shots: that leg in mid air!
now comes your fall? i get a kick out of our opposites. you know soon comes my spring.
ps your head is mesmerizing
love

Gorgeous, incredible photos, Robyn! What a great summer it was. The fireworks photo is wonderful. I have never managed to get an awesome fireworks photo like that. And whoa! That sunset sky is totally pink! Amazing!
LOVE your header!
Hope you are well. Big, big hugs!
Hi Robyn, Looks like a fantastic summer!!1 I absolutely LOVE the simmer in the ocean with the feet in the air! What fun.

Rib, could you please see what you can do to get Perth moved, at least the next state over from me so I can visit with you regularly? I would so love to experience the world with you in real time. I always adore coming here to see you.
what holly said: me too
♥
Ah! I feel like I just came back from being on holiday. Thank you for that!
That 3rd image is truly brilliant :))
Nice to see you again Robyn....long time!
ps: say hello to the Dr. for me...it's been a lifetime since I felt his fingers run through my hair....:)
The free doctor...
love it!
THESE PHOTOS ARE PURE BLISS ROBYN!
very satisfying travelogue there in pics... loved the feet sticking up out of the waves! And.. and ... pink sky... and more!
And for your recent comments.. thank you!
xo
ps may 2012 be blessed at your place!
Send some warmth our way will you! We haven't had much of a summer this year. I have heard of the good Doctor in a book I edited on the weather. I like the blue lady at the top of your page. She looks a little stern, like you wouldn't want to cross her! :o)
Okay, now that I know what a Freemantle Doctor is, I can say that I adore your photos.
Also that I felt the intensity of the heat in your written word.
Excellent!
Robyn your blue lady header photo is magnificant! I love everything about her and the words too.
Hey lets make a deal....I'll send you some rain, if you send me some sunshine.
Take care and big hugs
Peggy xxxxx
