THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
WINTER is the shadow, the etching of the seasons in the mist
WINTER is the fire, simmering lonely in the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
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)

Snakes are necessary, but wouldn't like to join one in that garden.
Ummmm. I think I'll pass...You are right, it would be nuts to ignore that sign.
Happy Manic Monday!
:-D)
This is a sign I need in my garden...'SPIDEYS share this garden',eewww!
What kinda snakes...
sharon
Love the haiku. :)
My dad is terrified of snakes. He would probably run quickly in the other direction.
I'm not entirely fond of them, but I can tolerate them as long as they stay outside and refrain from biting me. :)
Given the snakes they have down under, I think you should tour that garden wearing very high boots.
I agree! I hate snakes. I wouldn't want to be near them. Eeeeeeeeewww!!
I'm nuts here.
I'm nuts over at my place, thanks for sharing pics. Australia is so fantastic.
Happy Manic Monday!
Your photo reminds me that somewhere in my way-back archives I have a photo of a children's playground on Air Force base where my (then) husband was stationed. Right in front of the swing sets and slides were signs warning of poisonous snakes. Brilliant!
I'm afraid I would not be coming into that garden. I just don't like snakes.
Have a wonderful Monday!
Hi!
Love the photos! Can do without the snakes! Take Care!!

I LOVE that sign! It doesn't say 'Beware of snakes' but 'Snakes share this garden'. They share our planet too - though I would not like to meet one, I do respect that it has a right to be there.
I love that sign, for the same reason that healingstones pointed out.
Snakes used to share my garden, too.
Thanks for participating in Manic Monday
