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)

Crepe Paper Worlds


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Puddle wrinkled with reflections and grass clumps
~
PhotoHunt prompt ~ wrinkled
~

Puddles are like
Magic caves
Holding
Hollowed
Shaved
Wrinkled sounds of
Shapes and colours
~
But puddles
Scattered through
Irregular
Blades of
Grass
Create
A manuscript ~
A damp parchment ~
A glimpse of
A crepe paper world ~
A twisted
Star gate
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Another view of the puddle from a different angle

Yours is a beautiful angle of the wrinkled theme!

Last week I added your blog to my blogroll under "writers". Gotta add it under "photoblog" too, I suppose!

Have a great weekend!
