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
Funny - I had a spiderweb on a fence with barbed wire on my mind today for my blog. I even resized it but didn't find a quote ... now I am glad I didn't post it: your's is so much better! :-) Mine is for the dumpster, hehe.
ReplyDeleteThis is astoundingly gorgeous, Joan.
ReplyDeleteI love the she-oaks at the beach, especially the sound of the wind blowing through them - but hate it when you walk on those spiky nut things.
ReplyDeleteLove all the mist photos -especially the first one from your last post.
Fabulous !
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it's a totally different web from the one I posted yesterday.
