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)

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

Ticket to Fly


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At the Enchanted Maze Garden, Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula are many fanciful sculptures.

Carry on Tuesday #38 ~ This week our prompt is a quote from Martin H. Fischer:
Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.
~

At times
I feel like
Pressed metal
Dangling on a string
A mobile
Victim to fickle winds
But I know that
While I have breath
I can energise my wings
And fly
My very being is the ticket to
The greatest show on earth
Earth itself

Fertile Waste Land


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ I have featured this unusual letterbox and tortoise made of hub caps in separate, earlier posts.
They are both in the front garden of a Dromana Hills home, Mornington Peninsula.
Now here they are together.
