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
A very beautiful dog.
ReplyDeleteNice pic, and overall, you do take some fantastic pictures of where you live and its surroundings.
I like the word 'taking' used like that. Just one word to evoke an entire era and lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteI think the little charmer is aiming for a bit of scone.
