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
Really fun shot!
ReplyDeleteLove the people shots before. ;-)
I am a good long way from being as good as you.
DeleteLove how you've captured the water drops from the fountain :D)
ReplyDeleteIt is a fountain would be hard not to get a few in. :-)
DeleteI think I will enjoy this series! :-)
ReplyDeleteBut they are not wild animals like your fab shots.
DeleteThe city is a zoo.
ReplyDeleteMore than you think. It is filled with rhinos right now.
DeleteThey look rather haughty peering down their beaks, don't they? As if how dare you splash us. :)
ReplyDeleteI like this type of bird in real life. They seems to majestic. They carry themselves so well like ballerinas.
DeleteI love that courtyard. So wonderful, in winter, to sip coffee in the cafe, and watch the fountain.
ReplyDeleteI had a nice lunch there while waiting for hubby to emerge from his op.
