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.
~ 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)

Interesting stripes on that building. That bench looks like somewhere I'd like to stop and have lunch!
I would love to sit there, and meditate, hearing the sound of the water. You've captured the moment.
Such a nice watery picture. Beautiful.
What a beautiful place, great shot.

A perfect holiday spot. Peaceful. How lovely to spend quiet moments at that place.
What a wonderful place this is. The color of the water is beautiful. Peaceful and serene.
This is so lovely, a very serene and classic photo. Beautiful.
What a beautiful place!
Ahhhhh... This is just the kind of view I can sit and watch, close my eyes and feel the breeze against my face, smell the ocean air... Wonderful!
I much prefer your crisp blue seas to the brown, muddy swollen rivers that are chewing up the landscape, sending it south to the Mississippi Delta, pouring chocolate soup into the Gulf of Mexico...what a waste, too bad it's a toxic soup of farm run-off and mercury-laden toxins from coal-fired utilities.
Will this era of man ever learn before it's too late???!
Enjoy your beautiful warm sunshine, it's quite crisp here today...winter still has us in his grip...soon!
Smooches ol'friend!
