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)

Cloud lights
Parasoled artists
Shield fancy faces
Dancing in songlines of seas

Flighty
Fractured
Limp
Rainbows

Partners of musical weaves

Nature's ecstasy
Waltz to the skylines

Cloud lights

P.S. And it's the first day of the month! White Rabbit Day! Some claim this originated as a Swedish superstition, but by the early 1900's, it was on record right across Europe! I am so glad I have some white cloud in my pics for today! Any look remotely like a rabbit? A rabbit's face? Rabbit ears?

Hey Gemma, those are nice catches of some puzzling clouds. What will become of them, would you ask them to come over my home?
Happy Watching, thank you for peeking in on my clouds 'from the sky' pictures.
