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
Lovely sand ripples. I've always enjoyed how the elements combine to make patterns :D) A beautiful photo Joan.
ReplyDeleteA perfect way of putting it, Joan. I like the way you think. Great pic, too.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of it like that.
ReplyDeleteIt is so different from the forests which seems so changeless which of course isn't really true as my observations over at Whistlers Rest and long ago posts at BMJ attest to.
