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)

Silky Reflections


Reflections at Martha Cove marina


Water reflections
Like a strange shuffling stillness
Like pale silky dreams

Red Pillar


In the white world of Martha Cove marina homes, the red stands out.
I am not sure why this particular home has a single red pillar.
It looks odd to me.


White marina worlds
Many white boats and white homes
Lonely red pillar

A view of Martha Cove marina on Port Phillip Bay

A quiet Sunday
No sign of movement around
Just quiet waters

Winding


Winding pathway through a section of the garden at The Briars, Mount Martha


A garden pathway
Curved to slow the walking pace
Time to spend dreaming

Tree of Life


Shadow of a tree in summer sunlight at Mornington cemetery.
The old branches may have faded away or may have broken, but the sun casts clear shadows of life moving on.
The tree of life...

Perhaps broken life
But that lives in yesterday
Tomorrows live on

Nature's Summer Light and Shade


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Looking down into the beautiful summer waters of Port Phillip Bay from Mount Martha, Mornington Peninsula.
The grasses, the rocks, the sea and the sky always seem bathed in "happy light" in summer!

What big eyes I have!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Buy art
I don’t like birthdays.
To escape the razzle dazzle, I prefer to walk somewhere I have not been and enjoy new sights and sounds.
Two days ago, I decided to go to the wetlands at The Briars, Mount Martha, Mornington Peninsula.
There I found this incredibly inquisitive wallaby with the macro eyes.
