AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Hello Gemma,

Your post is the number 1 of this week for me! The word "Xylophone" is a brilliant choice! The garden cafe you photographed really looks like this instrument! You have very clever eyes and creativity! Congratulations!

Have a wonderful Wednesday,

Greetings from Istanbul/Turkey,

The overhead slats make this look truly xylophonic! Are there wind chimes to further the effect? Little toy xylophones have been the first musical instrument for several of my grandchildren. Even toy ones sound nice if well-tuned ones can be found.

Nice post!

Very nice post! And a good idea to use the xylophonic word. I like xylophones! I shall be in Oz in two weeks and stay with my daughter.

As I have learned today, Xyloid material provided the instrumental
metaphor. Great.
