THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
WINTER is the shadow, the etching of the seasons in the mist
WINTER is the fire, simmering lonely in the 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)

That rose is just glorious and a happy reminder of summer.
I love the swan and duck - so beautiful.
(Unless I'm inspired pretty soon I'm afraid I shan't have anything for Weekend Mailbox again this week. It's a shame because I think it's a really interesting meme.Never mind, I'll see what others come up with :-})
That is a beautiful rose my friend and the reflection of the swimming buddies is just precious. Just love these photos. Have a great weekend :)
Sweet feathered friends! Very nice scene and reflections...a nice place to be to calm down the hectic hours of a day.
Water and waterfowl always make for great reflections!
Beautiful reflections Gemma.
Happy weekend.
Never seen these bird before. Great color and shot.
Wish you a nice weekend:-)
I love his long neck and that vivid bit of red
I love this picture Gemma. Thanks for sharing your reflections (on your blog that word has such a lovely double meaning.)
I posted an old memory because I had no reflections this weekend (of the type that could go in this meme. I love looking at yours!!
I love your black swans! (Ours are white.) The reflections of the swan and duck are neat.
Good timing Gemma. I like the pose of the swan and the way both birds are positioned. Nice shot.
What a wonderful picture. They make a cute couple. :)
