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
Together with the dollop of Magpie poop!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder that fence-posts crack over time, hey.
Nope, I love the frost. Shows a depth to the Australian seasons that might otherwise pass me by. Not many frosts in Paddo ...
beautiful! I love all of your photos - I subscribe via google reader and often press 'like', but I don't know if you ever receive that feedback.... God bless you on this beautiful frosty autumn-tree-coloured day! Roz
ReplyDeleteRoz no I didn't know about those likes. I must find out how I can see them. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteJulie surprisingly I dont see much frost in Lawson, hence the delightbin this white frost. I agree the dollop of poop makes the shot just right.
ReplyDeleteKeep them coming. Wonderful composition.
ReplyDeleteLove the detail! Also the universal appeal - it could be anywhere!!
ReplyDeleteI'll never get tired of looking at beautiful shots like this.
ReplyDeleteNo never get tired of your frosty shots as long as I don't have to suffer the cold.
ReplyDeleteYou could never make me tired of any of your shots.
