AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

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)

Nature's Secret Swirls


It was raining again, and I was desperate to take photos.
I wandered on my verandah and noticed that leaves fallen there from the winds
seemed to be surrounded by small "mounds" of water; almost like water embossed on water.
So I took photos to see what this would look like in macro.
Here is the result.
It's not a reflection but is it a refraction?


nature's secret swirls
transient gift of
the rain

Like the wooden ground with the leaf twirling. Sometimes beauty is in the ordinary.
