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)

New Season?


This scene in my backyard represents the many strange elements of my current Australian Winter.
The gold Autumn leaves in the background are nearly fallen.
The Autumn leaves on the left are still turning.
And in the midst is a prolific flowering of daisies.
 All are blessed with light morning mist.


in the morning mist
flowers mix with Autumn leaves
new season is born

Clump of Golden Foliage


Autumn foliage at Seawinds on the top of Arthurs Seat mountain, Mornington Peninsula

The Autumn season
Leaves dance in grand finale
The golden cycle

Textures and Rhythms


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Lots of rain this year in the Dromana Hills seems to make the Autumn leaves emerge slowly.
But the rain creates interesting gloss on the leaves and rich textures on tree trunks.

3WW #CCXXXVI ~ evident + illusion + tragic

Tiny spirit tiny rhythm
Textures of a tragic grimace
Stretching far and evident
Its the illusion of branded
New leaves

When Autumn sings her sad sweet song
When wind-swept colours dance their tunes
I wonder where my joys belong
When Autumn sings her sad sweet song
My summer soul craves to prolong
But latent dreams must cast their runes
When Autumn sings her sad sweet song
When wind-swept colours dance their tunes
~
