It was one of those unforgettable Mallee summer days of my youth, I was lying on my back in the stubble seemingly miles from anywhere, the earthy smell of the recent harvest in my nostrils, skylarks twittering above providing a background sound to my daydreaming.
She lay by my side looking at the clouds and lost in her imagining of the shapes they formed against the clear cyan sky.
An elbow in my side disturbed my slumber..”Look” she said, pointing excitedly above “Do you see that emu shaped cloud?”
Rubbing my eyes I squinted in wonder, and took this photo of what appeared above.
Somehow my future was determined that day and I never went cloud spotting with her again....
