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)

breathing new life...


Not often do I like the caption on a real estate sign, but I love the caption on this one.
Even the Flynn and Co. website has a pleasant ambience with its rotating banner.


let a butterfly
wing you to
a new home

Butterfly Spirit


An example of some metal art I purchased some years ago at the Tasmanian Copper and Metal Art Gallery, Carrick.
The original artist Mirek Marik (who made the above butterfly) has passed on his skills and knowledge to his son Tom, who will continue the family history.
To display it well with shadows, I have added it to my black candelabra shape.


Deep metallic glows
Art of butterfly spirit
Graced with curved shadows

Real Estate Butterfly


This real estate sign is in Rosebud, Mornington Peninsula.
Not often do you find a real estate selling more spiritual ideas.
The butterfly is often a symbol of eternal life.

A breath of a butterfly

A Touch of Butterfly Wings


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Here is a real estate sign at Rosebud, Mornington Peninsula.
I don't think I have ever seen a commercial sign with a butterfly symbol like this one.

Butterfly Art


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ My beautiful metal butterfly made some years ago by a Tasmanian artist (whose name escapes me).
He has since passed away, but he had a wonderful studio, open to the public in northern Tasmania, displaying his wonderful array of metal sculptures and objects.
I remember he always loved to dress in black with a heavy gold chain round his neck.

Life Can be a Butterfly ~ for Poefusion ~ Bout-Rimes




~
~
~
~
~
~
This poem is worked around the bout-rime words: butterfly, steam, cry, dream, hair, lake, mare, late, test, create, mess, sedate, scheme, wicker
~
There is a legend about Missouri's Camp Butterfly
Bound up in ancient thermal steam
If you feel a deep longing to burst out and cry
Or even if you just want some space to dream
~
Let down your hair
By Butterfly Lake
After a brisk morning ride on the mare
Don't worry if you get back to camp late
~
For African teenage girls it's a test
Offering a chance to smile and create
To leave life's mess
And walk sedate
~
Since 2004 this incredible scheme
Weaves and shapes the toughest wicker

Of strawberry delights
And cherry truffles ~
I found a sticky
Black and white humbug
