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)

Loved your photo of daffodils and Haiku, too. Very nice and cheery scene to look upon with your photo. Your Haiku is so visual and creates the calming scene, too. Sincerely, Connie

What a pleasure to have found you. I love it when words are so lovely that they stop you and make you take a moment to savour them. That's the effect that your words had on me. THank you so much for leaving a comment on my blog.

Waaaaah this is funny seeing daffodils this time of year. Oh yes Spring is starting on your side of the earth. Wish I was living there right now. Here Autumn is beginning: wind, rain, darkness, cold..... not my season!

lovely yellow flowers! Where I live, soon all the flowers will be covered with snow. I find myself taking them in deeply these days.
