Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ I loved the blue of this Autumn sky in Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula so much, that even though it may seem plain, I wanted to record it.
By chance, a helicopter wandered by to give the sky an interest focus.
Add a little bit of foliage plus the compulsory wires and the scene is complete.

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)

both spring & autumn are such times of transition and change, where summer and winter seem so stationary and whole.
Yes, a complete scene !
Beautiful sky. Great shot.

So blue! Lovely.
Great capture of the helicopter and the blue sky behind, I love it.
Have a great weekend.

I like the second pic best. It is a study of man intruding on Nature. In the second pic it is almost as if the tree is trying to claw the helicopter out of the sky - or is that my imagination running away with me again?!
I have to say, also, that as I type a lovely piece of music is playing and I don't want to leave! (In the Cathedral - Gary Lamb)
Cool Skywatch photos!

The pilots of the heli must have a great unblock view from the above :P
perfect blue sky.
Hi Gemma - Lovely to meet you! I found you through Skywatch Friday and am so pleased I did. Although South Australian born and bred,I lived on the Mornington Peninsula for a while - the soft grey light is beautiful. I enjoyed going back through your thoughtful poetry with pics, and recognize many of the places and sentiments.
Funny title! I like it.
Gorgeous lilting skies.
Nifty title ... lovely Haiku ... perfect for these photos ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
