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)

succumbed...


an old fruit tree that has finally succumbed to the whims of the winds...
But the birds still love it...

lifeless
but for some
beauty never fades

door and a tree...


red door on a little boat shed in Dromana...

struck with a thought of
a shady tree

Weeping Yellow


A closer view of the McCrae scene posted on today's Monday Mellow Yellows blog.
In this photo, the subdued yellows seem to weep like a willow.


willow-like branches
weeping for past warm colours
and soft warm breezes

Like a Seahorse?


An unknown small tree in my garden has a strange shape that curls and bends as it grows.
This particular morning I captured it "mid curl", complete with shadows through the leaves.
The tree does not flower, but gets odd pea-like "buds" and sheds Autumn-toned red leaves in the summer.
This is a Winter view.

A strange little tree
Stubbornly upturns seasons
No flower or fruit

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 Jottings


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On my morning Autumn walk round Bittern, I found many interesting bark textures.
I loved this one for its patterns and how the fine grass shapes seemed to sweep out waving a magic wand!

Little Tree Folk


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On Christmas Day, we had lunch at Portsea Hotel, Mornington Peninsula.
Outside were beautiful views of Port Phillip Bay.
Children loved playing games on the rolling lawns.
Here, 2 young girls are playing/chatting in a tree.

Haiku Bones #17 ~ Anthem

When shadows hunger
When the winds of fortune ease

When life is scratched with a pen knife
When earthly visions rust

When the spirit sours in loneliness
When clouds ponder low

When light limps

A walk in the colours of Autumn
Means
A walk in harp strings
Nature's
Sacred golds
~
* HAIKU Postscript
Gold is of the Earth
Treasured anthem for the soul
Endless bank account
