What a Wonderful World! by Weezilou

What a Wonderful World!

I completely understand how it is that the Australians adore their gum trees! Here, visiting our daughter, the campus is filled with their delicate, towering presence, and they make fabulous silhouettes at dusk! Couple that with mountains close to the sea, and I've taken hundreds of photos daily of the views alone!

Just have a look around you, and know why it is we all love that song!
Really beautiful.

@ethelperry Oh thank you so much, Ethel! I got that right bout the gum trees, didn't I? I love the Aussie song about "the home amongst the gum trees" and ends with "...and an old rocking chair,,,"

Really gorgeous

Yes, @Weezilou that is the song that came to my mind. I think it was the theme song for a much loved gardening show on TV.

Here are the Lyrics, and the second verse was used for the popular TV Series. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/john+williams/home+among+the+gum+trees_20626416.html

@ethelperry Oh Ethel, you're The Best! I can't wait to play it, but it's after 1AM, and Ken is asleep just across the room! We're staying at our daughter's home, sleeping on the pull-out sofa in the living room. That delightful song might not be appreciated by everyone here at this moment! I'll regale them all in the morning! Thank you ♥♥♥ !
