Yesterday, a glass of chilled wine on a 43 degree celsius day created a lovely play of light in the afternoon sunlight

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of 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)

it looks intriguing, almost mesmerizing. Nice take on this week's theme. Happy RT! Mine is here
That's pretty, Gemma! 43 is hot! Mrs. Jim and I have been thinking of Australia for visiting, I think we missed it this year.
You are a good photographer to catch that one. I wouldn't know how and my camera probably isn't good enough.
Like your haiku too!
Happy RT!
..
Love the poetry that goes along with the lovely glass of wine - it makes me thisty! Perfect for RT.
Enjoy that wine on a hot day!
The liquid in your wine looks like a piece of art. Love all that sparkly light. I'm sure it was refreshing, too.
Red sparkling wine and a lovely haiku!
Great RT entry.
The light really dances around in that glass! I hope you enjoyed the taste after playing with the light.
Cheers, Gemma!

This looks good and is pretty.
Thanks, I like your pic too, nice light! Really different climate, here it's -8 degrees celsius right now, hehe.
