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
But but but ... that is where I shot nearly all my banners from yesterday: Standing in front of the Town Hall and sometimes shooting north and sometimes shooting south.
ReplyDeleteAh ... bunting as in tinsel ... nope ... don't think there is any.
Not a typical photo, ;-) - I like the selective colouring.
ReplyDeleteWish you some nice relaxing days, see you next year, ;-)
Hey, we have -13 °C and 5 cm snow and sun and blue sky. :-D
Goodness, what a weather report from Martina!
ReplyDeleteJulie, your photos of the banners are fabulous and have made me change my mind.
ReplyDeleteMartina, weather like that is beyond my comprehension.
