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
Haha, I now notice many more things through my camera lens than I ever did without it! Pilchard suggests I use words like 'capture', 'texture' and 'contrast' much more frequently!!
ReplyDeleteNever seen anything like that before. They're certainly photogenic in a rustic kind of way.
ReplyDeleteit is amazing what captures ones eye now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice words yesterday too :)
They do indeed. Amazing how you look at things differently once a photographer.
