Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Delightful flowers over a green picket fence in Dromana, Mornington Peninsula

Emerald Sundays prompt #7

Veils of lilac tears
Softly, silently weeping
Transient beauty

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my 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)

That is the most beautiful photo I have seen today!
I love these flowers. It looked just like the flowers my aunt used to have on their fence. It brings back fun childhood memories.
