Sun on the Gums
My walks these days
in the late afternoon
are glowing
with the dropping sun
and high up
in the eucalyptus leaves
instead of a koala
I spy the waxing moon
On the other side of town
my son
has a family
of inquisitive neighbours
they stand and observe
his movements
this beautiful brown fellow
poses motionless
like a statue
Thank you for sharing
the wildlife shots

love this absolutely,
ReplyDeleteyou are winsome!
Your trees are gilded with gold and the kangaroos are standing sentinel - you live in a magical kingdom, Delwyn!
ReplyDeleteI've always heard the light in Australia is spectacular. You proved it. And I thank YOU for the shots of the delightful visitors!
ReplyDeletedelwyn the first three pictures made me think of the quality of light maxfield parrish used in his artwork. the roos - my wife loved the roos when she visited oz. have a peaceful day. steven
ReplyDeleteWe had the neighbour's cat in the back yard the other day.
ReplyDeleteAlright, not quite the same thing as a family of kangaroos.
You live in an amazing place.
Superb shots of a magical Kingdom.
ReplyDeleteGums, eucalyptus and kangaroos...quintessential Australia.
ReplyDeletePure magic. I see moose from my yard and you see kangaroos from yours. So diverse, so strange each to the other, and yet, we connect via windows opened through heart songs sketching stories.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely shots. The ones of the moon through the trees reminds me of one very similar that I took of the moon through oak limbs also in late afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI love the "visitor" photos. Yes, thank you son #1.
yes indeed, we share the same sun and moon, as we share this earth. Just think of it, we may be at different ends of it, but that doesn't stop us looking into the same heavens and feeling the same pull towards infinity.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I haven't any roos.
Hi Jingle
ReplyDeletethanks for coming over and enjoying a spot of Au
Hi Barb
the trees love to absorb this autumn afternoon sun and walking at this time is so peaceful with very few people on the track.
Hi Kathleen
the light here is very different, artists comment on it, and the sun is also very strong...we have the highest rate of skin cancers in the world I believe.
Happy days
Hi Steven
ReplyDeleteThank you for this lead. I enjoyed looking up his works and love the old illustrations.
Hello Barry
well a puddy cat is pretty special, but no not quite as scary as a huge roo staring you down...
Hello Moannie
How nice to have you call by....thanks for the visit
Hi Ellen
