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
Me too.
ReplyDeleteAlthough.... once I was attacked by a flock of seagulls - I didn't know they did that!
I didn't know they did that either ... you must have had food they wanted.
ReplyDeleteooh, I like the strong horizontal cropping and the small collection of images. They work well together.
ReplyDeleteoh, me too! we all must, otherwise
ReplyDeletethere would not be so many cartoons

ReplyDeleteYeah, that horizontal cropping ... that is a seaside quirk of yourn!
ReplyDeleteSeagulls are the pigeons of the sea ... but at least they are very clean.
