AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

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)

Dark Footprints


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ My bedhead.
As I was making the bed, I saw that the Autumn sunlight cast interesting colours and shadows on the wall.

Soft sleeping shadows
Lingering light of morning
Footprints of the night

Ooooo...'footprints of the night', I love that and how true it is.

What beautiful words and shadows to accompany the simple task of making ones bed...I must admit, I forgot to do mine this morning...I was too wrapped up in planting the plants a friend had dug for me to transplant...does that mean I'm a lost soul...my Granny would roll over in her grave..."You get up them steps Missy and make that bed"...I can hear her now...

The shame is forgiven by the Spring...come play with me instead...hope you have a wonderful Autumn Sunday friend of mine!!! Hugs!

What a delightful shot! Isn't it fun to find beautiful shadows in all the most familiar places? I love your words as well! Happy SSS!

Hey Harriet said...

Such sweet sleepy morning shadows! You have a very pretty looking bed. I should make mine more often. Who knows what I've been missing by being a lazy-messy-bed person ;D
