THE MEANING OF AUTUMN


AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul

- Gemma Wiseman

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Weeping Yellow


A closer view of the McCrae scene posted on today's Monday Mellow Yellows blog.
In this photo, the subdued yellows seem to weep like a willow.

Another Autumn Flower


Another beautiful Autumn flower that I found in my wanders round Shoreham on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula.
Not sure what this may be, but loved the soft colour.


pale but enchanting
autumn flowers are so special
so unexpected
