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)

What soft green beauty. How pastoral.
Hi there! Came across your blog a while ago, and have really enjoyed it!
I'm a poet and at wordpress.com and wonder if, should the appropriate inspiration strike, I could use one of your photographs?
It would just be for my poetry blog http://kolembo.wordpress.com and of course I would credit and link to your site.
Please let me know.
I have, for now, posted on my diary blog (wordpress is doing a postaday2011 challenge thing) using a photo of yours of a tree that has a human face cut into it. It's mesmerising.
Still the initial request is for my poetry blog.
OK, thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
That green is so appealing!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Such a pretty peaceful scenery. Lovely to go for a walk in the sunshine.
Beautiful view & blue! =)
Happy SWF!

A peaceful view. Wish I was there.
Very Idyllic! Thanks for sharing!
How lovely to see green grass and blue skies!
The framing of this shot with the gates makes it very interesting. Your photograph "Tasmania" is fabulous!
Following your works is such an inspirational treat and learning experience for me. The way you set up this shot is real perfection...a perfect composition with a lovely blend of colors.
Stunning and I like the fence in the foreground. Have a nice weekend.
So beautiful! You would expect to see white lambs behind the fence ;-)
Happy weekend :-)litpion
Ohh.. how absolutely adorable and inviting it looks!!!
A perfect match for your refreshing words...
