ABC Wednesday Round 3 prompt ~ N is for Novel
~
The usual novel may be found in a bookshop. While I love reading meaty, challenging novels that explore ancient worlds or even future worlds, I am also fascinated by a a very different kind of novel.
I love capturing the novel, unusual image!

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The novel image may be an interesting reflection in a humble puddle at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The novel image may be the rather odd sight of two animals seldom found grazing so closely together at Red Hill

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The novel image may be of colourful posts decorating school grounds at Red Hill. And the designs imitate Aboriginal artwork.

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)

I thought of trumpeting my Novel but decided to keep a humble profile.
With shelves full of novels you would think I might have chosen thus.
What a "novel" idea for a post. I do like the unusual (novel)

Great post for N! I enjoyed all your "novel" photos! Good eye...
Oh brilliant! What a great post. Loved the photo of the odd animal couple! Well, I loved them all, but that one made me chuckle :)
A novel idea for a post. I am a bookaholic, so good for me.
I just LOVE a good book! Great N idea! Way to go! Have a nice week!
Again with the white horse...er pony. Isn't he just the cutest lil'creature, like he belongs on the front of a pumpkin carraige, delivering the princess to the ball. Great shot!
