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)

Embroideries


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Beautiful landscape at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula

Poefusion Friday 5 prompt ~ fatigue + embroidery + secluded + monotonous + thaw
~

Secluded landscape
Waiting for chill winds to thaw
Springtime beauty dawns
~
Old winter fatigue
Magically slips into dreams
Monotonous days
~
Fence embroidery
Nature knits life from nothings
New face in mirrors

What a concept, the land and the wire, the vistas and the seasons being woven, embroidered into a visual feast for the eye...neat shot and cool RUSTY wire.
