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
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of 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)

G'day sister...thought I would get a note off to you before I leave for work. It's starting to get busy for me now with all the Spring soap orders coming in and the dog groomings are picking up too, as the fur has really grown long over winter and they want them shorter now.
Been a long winter(they all are)even though we haven't had the snows we're used to getting, it all went North and East of us...yayyy!!! But we still have winter, however, it's melting so much faster now, though our rivers are bank full, there will be flooding as all the snows North start to thaw, but, it is what it is and we deal with it as it comes...right!
Hope you aren't working too hard and are getting to the beach! I'm longing for those drives in the country when the roads are safe to drive on and not get stuck. This is a hard season for us, we're just sorta stranded inside. I've heard so many people say they just don't want to leave the house because of the cold...and I can tell by the weight the dogs have put on, not getting regular exercise, including Scratchy!!!
So be well, as always dear sister
and know that I think of you often...big frosty hugs from the Nor'lunds...!!!

Love this fun shot, Gemma!
What an absolutely delightful capture, Gemma! Love the expression on her face and her "companion" is really cute, too! Terrific! Have a wonderful evening!
Sylvia
what a precious shot gemma...love the happiness!!!
hope your weekend was relaxing and that you have a blessed week ahead.
What a gorgeous capture, I really really like this. Well done Gemma. Have a great Sunday.
She is a true beauty, looking shy yet bemused of all the attention toward her car. And the giraffe. The shadows fall on the car, the animal and door handle creating cool shadows. Who doesn't love a parade??
Beautiful captures!
My Shadow Shots
This is a wonderful shadow shot. I love the colors of blue and the vibrant orange, but most of all, the little girls sweet smile. Too bad you can't find her parents to share this image with them..
Oh it is cute shot. Happy SSS!
Such a cute capture...and great shadows!
Now that's sweet! And her friend is cute! Dogs are the only animals I ever see riding in the backseats of cars :) I hope you had fun at the parade! Have a great week Gemma!
Too cute and clever. Nice shot. Mickie
The child looks mesmerized with wonder and joy!
MANY SHADOW-SEEKERS SAY
Many shadow-seekers say,
“Oh, the one that got away!”
Why are you so uptight, folks?
Can’t you take light’s little jokes?

I love it! So whimsical. That stuffed animal looks alive! Very nice Gemma. Love the haiku as well.
Peace.
Oh, this is an amazing photo, Gemma! Such a wonderful moment you've captured, and as always, your words perfectly serve to extend the magic. This has quickly become a favourite to me!

How cute!! I have a weakness for giraffes, so I love her companion.
:)
It looks like her giraffe is enjoying the show as much as she is.... how adorable!
