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)

Scratching out a melody
Blue beauty plays on

Such a gorgeous shot, and I love the haiku. I can almost hear the leaves.

A small amount of bright sun rays peering through those tree branches. Nicely framed :)

Delightful Haiku. I am so excited to find your blog. I am from Melbourne, not too far from the Mornington Peninsula and love that area too. :)

Beautiful photo and lovely Haiku accompaniment. I appreciate your creativity always.
Hugs and blessings,

I always enjoy your haikus because they are true haikus -- which I always taught revolved around nature's beauty and power.

Lovely!
