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
Beautiful! Love the contrasting red dots.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice for me to be able to show a formal garden for a change Jose.
DeleteI've really been enjoying the scenes you have been sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan.
DeleteIt is beautiful, but ... very orderly.
ReplyDeleteOrderly. As you know my garden(s) are wild and I love them but in my heart I think I like orderly I just know I can't achieve it.
DeleteI want one of them in my garden, I don't mean the roses.
ReplyDeleteYeh that's what I need to get an orderly garden! But I had a gardener once and he make is even less like my ideal.
