MY WORLD ~ 18 Trip to Queensland, 3rd Day
We stopped with a view of the Warrumbungles,
where on the road verge, this tiny gem bloomed
at my feet

On the other side of the road were yellow flowers
with black steers staring at us backed up by the
blue sulhouette of the mountains

of the Warrumbungles featuring the 'Bread Knife'

ReplyDeleteReally amazing colours on the trees. Funny to hear about autumn colours in April when the spring just about begins over here. Seems so topsy turvy somehow :)
ReplyDeleteThe mountain shot was spectacular too.
Out of curiosity what is Warrumbungles? A place or some feature of nature?
Sounds to me like some knocks or bumps that were caused by warfear. Funny word.
Thanks for taking us on your little trip to Queensland. The colors in those trees really is quite powerful.

ReplyDeleteSoon you'll be experiencing the autumn colors and we'll be experiencing spring colors. I can't wait, winter is too long.
