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
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)

What a great shot. I do love those shadows.
what an amazing shadow shot... just perfect gemma.....
Ohhh, what a pretty seagull! After taking shots of all the birds that live around here, I'm always happy to see a pretty bird. Great shadow shot, Gemma! :)
Great shot Gemma! You must be a smart one who takes her camera everywhere. I really need to remember to do that!
Nice shot! He looks so fluffy!!
Very nice shadow and seagull Gemma..patiently waiting for a morsel Enjoy your Sunday! :D
I really miss seeing the gulls, they are such a part of the sea life, but I did see a flock of white pelicans yesterday. Sailing in the high thermals, they come in and out of view as the sun catches their blow.
Thanks for the reminder.

This is one of the loveliest seagull shots I've seen! I like his proud looking pose, the ruffled feathers & how the shadows frame the little guy. The b&w is so effective. I hope he managed to find some tasty crumbs :)
Hi Gemma, thanks for your kind poetic comments;0) This is another of my fav's of your SS's love the black and white and the angles of the rail shadows and the lines in the decking. Each time i keep looking back i see another interesting piece - well done. love your scenic framed vision shot as well, have a happy Sunday. Annette :0)
