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 water games...

the unusual face at the side of the lake at the Enchanted Adventure Garden, Arthurs Seat,
now has some water attachment...
A spout of water seems to spill from the mouth
and now there seems to be a small fountain emerging behind the face...
(at the moment, that area is roped off...You can just see the fountain from this view)


water magic
when water plays or sleeps
we love to watch

Another Life Cycle

One Shot Wednesday #45
~

Parched and cracked
The old earths with
A thirst that
Supercedes
Evaporation
Guzzled
The torrential magic of
Unseasonal rains

Ochry palettes
Released
Tiny tugs
of green life

While from the mist of
Other times
Some legendary
Mother River
Breathes and slides
The birth of Water
Down to Father Ocean

But this was just
A passing sigh
The rains came
The rains died
The earth cried for
A little while

And now I gaze on
A lonely sea
Embroidered with
Murmuring
Silken seaweed
Like relics
Like memories
Then turn
Wistfully to
The muddied river banks
Fading
Like Eurydice and
Drying

Soft Reflection


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Even in the cooler months, seagulls seem to enjoy swimming around by Dromana beach, Port Phillip Bay.
Pale sunlight creates a soft reflection.

Soft grey simpering waters
