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
and what a pretty picture it makes too :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing how nice weeds can look when they are not interfering with other plants.
ReplyDelete"weeds are plants growing in the wrong place"
If you haven't said it, I would never guess these are all weeds. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's just lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful textures.
I'd take that bunch of flowers over a fancy one from a florist any day.
Yeah, me too ... what Letty says ...
