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
Fantastic colours! I allways pay much attention to this kind of life too.
ReplyDeleteNice detail. I guess this is a shore of a lake rather than the shore of the sea.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, both the colours and the shapes and the sizes.
ReplyDeleteSome look a bit like succulents.
Okay .. I've pulled me tent pegs ...
