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
And your header is the Bylong Valley, too ??
ReplyDeleteWe KNOW you love grass seed ... and doesn't it look wonderful with the sun behind it. The countryside is glorious, I agree. I can understand why you ceased 'recording' at Singleton.
And I like this photo ... with the different layers of grass, pasture, trees, hills, sky and the animals silhouettes.
ReplyDeleteA great rural scene and nice focus on the grass seeds.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI need to get a better handle on all your blogs--it looks like you are busy with the others when you aren't updating here.
Julie, my header? If you mean the background image ... that is the Flinders.
ReplyDeleteMary Ann, I'm trying to reduce my compulsive blogging behaviour this year hence the occasional break when i doing something more intensive over on the other blogs ... also with me being out at Clandulla more often and my current work contract has less flexibility so not as much Wayfaring is possible,
Oh, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it sooner or later. :) I don't want to miss out.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo. The epitome of summer.
