Hey the earth is showing its veins around here.
We crossed the border into Victoria cruising down a lovely timbered road before breaking into the rich dairy country of Gippsland. It is wonderful to see the land green after more than 10 years of very dry weather. But most of the state of Victoria is still drought declared.

The Pasture by Robert Frost
"I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too.
I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too."

Good observation. The ridges really do look like veins.
ReplyDeleteYes it does. Nature is just amazing.
DeleteYeh a case of natures art. But when I looked at the image it reminded me of the back of aging hands which I also find lovely.
DeleteNature is so amazing! Great find.
ReplyDeleteI love being surprised by nature. It is so much fun seeing things in the ordinary not just the grand vistas.
DeleteHehe, that's a good way to describe it.
ReplyDeleteIt's the poet in me peeping thru! Wish it happened more oft.
DeleteIs it that new fangled method of lanndcare that funnels moisture and soil around paddocks? The one advocated by Peter Andrews?
ReplyDeleteNo the ridges are rocks not soil. There was quite a big section of them.
DeleteWhoa - that looks weird. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.
ReplyDeleteLooking at it now it looks as if a farmer ploughed around a tree but I am sure the rocks predated the tree by millions of years. Yeh weird.
DeleteGood analogy. It looks like the back of my hands.
ReplyDeleteHe he. Mine too
