Like rigid spokes of a wheel
And a cut stairway

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)

Exciting and weird in a friendly way :)
Very nice, we shared a theme this week.
Very eerie shot!
Great poem as well.
Lovely, mysterious shadow shot! And lovely words! Thanks, Gemma!
Have a great weekend!

This could be a movie still from a scary film! Very cool and a little bit creepy. A combination I love! I'm half expecting a big monster to burst from the screen any moment ;)
From a scary movie ;-)
te first thing I thought was spokes from a giant wagon wheel
cool shot!
I'm a great fan of science fiction, so my imagination can run wild with this shot...and if something jumped out of it, believe me, I'd be running wild...
We are now into our fall season and are starting to decorate for Halloween in the shops, it is a beautiful time of year here in the states. The trees are starting to turn their bright orange colors. Many bird species have packed their bags and are heading for the hills to a warmer clime...it's weird to have such busy bird activity...then POOF...they all disappear...
Us Northuners start winterizing our homes, getting out the shovels and snow blowers, storing up corn cobs for the birds and squirrels whose stores are covered in thick, frozen layers of ice and snow.
All goes dead and crispy and lifeless...you look out into the neighborhoods into the cold, cold silence, you hear nothing but the cold and view the steam from the chimneys work it's way into the cold reaches of heaven...nothing moves(cause nothing starts)...I just ruined my own day...
I HATE WINTER...there I said it...I'm an outdoors kinda gal...but it is what it is, so we make the best...been doin' it for 60 years, so what's a few more, aye!!!
Have a great week my warm climate mate...and I'll talk to ya on the 'morrow...HUGS!
