The Pacific Ocean leads into Lake Macquarie, near us. I was given a joy-flight, as a birthday gift, some time ago, and I was enchanted by the view.
WATERY WEDNESDAY has inspired this blog.
THE SHALLOWS
View the lake when on the land;
Sameness spreads on every hand.
A brilliant hue but almost bland,
So unrevealing.
View the lake from up on high!
See reflections of the sky,
Even clouds that are passing by!
Much more appealing!
How many colours can you see
From this aloft reality?
Three? Or maybe fifty-three?
All hidden treasure!
Ancient man never saw this sight;
Only birds in their soaring flight,
Saw the shallows picked-out, bright.
What a modern pleasure!

Beautiful photo and beautiful poetic description. Wonderful, Brenda.
When in earth, we are caught amidst the trees..
When we soar, we see the forest?
So I felt, reading this cute poem.
How nice to be given a joy-flight, as birthday gift.
This is a fantastic photo from your joy-flight. What a great birthday memory.
