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)

What a lucky shot...love the title. We have seagulls too on the Mississippi, which is strange this far North, never had them when we were kids...new migration patterns I guess.

Beautiful haiku. I had to go back and look at the picture a second time because I missed the sea gull the first time and then knew he had to be there from the haiku. These two are great together!
