Out of the dark we came
out of the sea,
For the long wave broke on the shore.
As the day broke and the night rolled back,
There we stood on the land we would call home.
Out of the dark became
out of the night,
The first of many mornings in this new place.
When the sun rolled back the mist,
We rose like a strong wave on the land.

Awesome photos and beautiful words.
Your daughter took the gene from you about excellent photography.
That is the most beautiful poem reader wil - I am assuming it is written from the point of view of a new settler in a new land. Lovey sunrise too.
Wonderful sky shots and wonderful words to go with them. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Glorious tropical sunrise to wake up to.
Thank you for your kind concern Wil. I'm not out of the woods yet.
Beautiful, indeed, Wil! What a lovely place.
These photos are so lovely! The sky at sunrise and the reflections in the water. And, yes, I did enjoy the poem as well.
Those are fantastic shots of the beautiful sunrise.
Both are stunning shots, I love em.
Have a great weekend!

Lovely pictures and enjoyed the poem. Who is the author?
Hope you are safe from the dreadful fires.
Beautiful and relaxing. I like the reflection and the great poem. Have a nice weekend :-)
So beutiful- photos and post!
So beutiful- photos and post!
What an incredible sky! The clouds and colors are fantastic, and I love the little glimpses of reflection.
2 very lovely photos of a sunrise. So glad the fires in Australia seem to be quieting down. That was horrible and all the lives that were lost.
A nice idea to show the same subject in both landscape and portrait formats. Personally I vote for the landscape one due to the horizontal lines in the composition, the puddles in the front and what I felt was too much emptiness on top of the one in portrait format.
I also felt that it was more complete and fitted the words better.
PS Thank you for the comment - it is going better now.
Lovely photoes from you again. Have a nice weekend:)
Gorgeous sunrise photos and lovely poem.
It truly is beautiful, Wil. I love how she also captured the reflections in the water.
Really gorgeous shots and words! Thanks to you and your daughter!

Fantastic shots and beautiful words
These are incredibly beautiful images!
Is this a poem you have written?
I love it! It reminds me of an Italian poem I once read, about the Phoenician. Unfortunately I lost it, I shall keep yours, if you allow me.
They are magnificent shots Wil, and tell your daughter thanks for sharing this to us. Hope all is well with her in Australia. Happy Skywatching.
Incredible as only nature can be. I'm glad that these are images your daughter has and not the terrible ones we have been seeing.
This photos is really super, and beautiful words.
Very pretty pictures! I agree with what Weaver of Grass said about the poem.
Wil.....so gorgeous !The poem is just delightful!
Hugs, Carol

Wil: Those are beautiful captures of a realy neat sky that your daughter captured.
Gorgeous images! Wonderful poetic prose.
Is je weer gelukt om prachtige foto's te posten op de SWF, vind ze meer dan de moeite waard hoor.
Groetjes
The photos convey beauty as do the words of the poem.
The expansivness is awesome.
And the words! Author, author!
The poem is very touching - and I love the design of the water in the front - have a happy Valentine's Day!
Hi Reader Wil ,
Bedankt vopor je antwoord mbt (how delete..) Ik dacht toch echt dat "kostas"ee kwaadwillende spammer was omdat ik overal waar ik keek dezelfde (onpersoonlijke) comment zag, zonder dat hij/zij er iets bijgeschreven had....Ik vind het nog steeds raar overkomen, dat er verder niets bijstaat.... dan denk je toch uiteraard dat het spam is niet? Ik weet nu hoe ik ongewenste comemnts moet deleten, dus bedankt voor t advies.
Groeten van JoAnn/Holland
gday Wil Beautiful sunrise in Queensland.. and lovely verse to match...

Lovely poem. I too beleive it must be from a new settler.
The photos are grand. Really excellent. The three little puddles in the front reflecting the sky make them just perfect and the clouds are impressive.

Hi Wil, saw your blog from Mysteries (Jeanette StGermain's blog) and thought to add you - I am married to a Dutchman from the other end of the Netherlands to you - Zeeland (Schouwen Duiveland). I haven't seen any other Dutch bloggers so time to start looking! Your blog looks lovely, wonderful photos and pets and babies! Please visit my blog and follow if you wish, I am fairly new to this blogging thing!
Tot ziens! Catherine.

Beautiful photos. I love the reflection of the light in the water.
Beautiful scene. Love the pools of water in the foreground and the layers of clouds. Very nice.
Love these photos, especially the three ponds. Just appeals to me!
And I like the lily in your header, where you can see the pollen grains!
Thanks for sharing!
