Stirling in Autumn

A wreath of mist cloaks road and stream

Round Stirling in its autumn sheen

A mass of colour in main street

As burnished leaves lie at our feet.

 

The “Essential Café” had a buzz;

We ordered coffee – as one does

With a “babycino” for the lad

So, a milky froth by all was had!

 

Round the Worrabunda Lake nearby

We heard a kookaburra’s cry

Moorhens and coots caught by surprise

As sunlight pierced the leaden skies.

 

Our meander through this leafy glad

In photos cannot be portrayed

As Nature’s hand is plain to see

In the timeless wonder of each tree!
