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)

Play

Ducks playing hide-and-seek in the small wetlands in Dromana

Ducks know how to play
Time to tease and challenge
Time to create fun

Living Bubbles


Newborns possibly having their first swim at the Boundary Road Reserve, Dromana.
Soft reflections surrounded them.

Small bubbles of life
Feathered bundles of mischief
Parents closely watch

Facades of the Connoisseur


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A moment at the Enchanted Maze Garden, Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula
~
One Single Impression #128 ~ Connoisseur
~

To be a connoisseur
One must
Recognise
Appreciate and
Understand
The piquant
Enigmatic beauty of
Subtle
Precious
Peaks of
Quality

The connoisseur is
The keeper of secret knowledge
The omniscient judge in a courtroom
The royal taste in
A field of common wheat

To the down-to-earth cynics
The connoisseur is merely
The aloof dialect in a
Herd of colloqialisms

But sometimes
The connoisseur is
The humble critter who treasures
The worm in the bud

A duck loves wet grass
Wet grass is a feast
Wet grass is delectable

Duck heaven on earth

But there's always one
One who is different
One who wanders in lone thoughts
