Most people would find this to be a hot,
dull and fly ridden landscape
but if you still your mind and open your eyes
it becomes so much richer
at your feet bright little gems of nature appear
they may be few and far between
but all the more precious for that
this tiny yellow flower at my feet
at the edge of a kangaroo trail I was on
looked very much like an orchid although
I have not been able to find it
in a book or compendium of native orchids yet
the golden glow of an Acacia offsets
the red seed heads of native hops
while the silver grey of Blue Bush
lends yet another colour variation.
life is often savoured so much more
not in the fast lane but in the quiet moments
roses and peacocks may be stunning
but it is the shy violet
that so often moves the heart
Linking with
and I Heart Macro
