Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Figurines gracing a lower window sill in my home.
Outside is the shady entrance garden to my front door.

Window Views #9

Small romantic view
Elegant glimpse of magic
Fanciful escape

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)
