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)

Muddy Heaven

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Bike on a trailer in Dromana Hub carpark, Mornington Peninsula

Weekend Snapshot prompt #47
~

To you
I may look like
A shameful
Grubby
Dried mud
Mess
~
But I have been on
The best weekend ride ~
Flashing down trails in
Wild bushlands ~
Leaping mounds
In a single bound ~
Racing round
Bends
Not meant for
The faint-hearted
~
And best of all
We did it
Again and
Again and
AGAIN!
~
Wash me?
Never!
Well, not right now!
Let me dream awhile in
My muddy heaven
~
