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)

Good one.
Oooh, this is sweet! Those pelicans look like portraits of the denizens of the neighborhood. You definitely get a neighborhood vibe from this mural. Thanks for joining the debut of Monday Mural. I'm thrilled with the response. Hope you'll come back with more murals.
That's a real nice wall painting !
