AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

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)

Whimsical Light


Pics by Gemma Wiseman ~ Click on the pic to read the "secret" words! (Use the zoom feature to read the verses! I didn't want the words to overwhelm the pic!)
~
N.B. This is actually a beautiful figurine given to me by my partner as a Christmas present. I have always loved it! Only trouble was, a pic inside the house seemed to lose its beauty in other homely pieces. So I took it out onto the verandah, placed it on the railing in front of a camellia bush... and voila!

I did write under the pic to click on it to read the "secret" words. But I have now added to use the zoom feature when you get there! Maybe that will help!

Yes! I wanted this to be like a journey of discovery - as part of the "whimsical". Maybe I shouldn't have done it this way! I don't know!

Won't do this again!
