Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
This is really a good composition, I like the silvery vegetation in the front and on the right part of the photo very much!
ReplyDeleteIt even reminds me of the Queen Ann's Lace that is in every laneside ditch in rural France ... and lots of place world wide.
ReplyDeleteLove seed heads ...
that's a beautiful plant - i wonder what it is?
ReplyDeleteI could look at it every day.
It's great to compare this one with the header!
ReplyDeleteIt seems appropriate for the banner photo as it has the colours that are so typical in this blog. Nice shot
