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)

You have such a good eye for touring your countryside for us on the other side. I would love to be on one of your walks, happily snapping away at all that is beautiful and quirky. We are here for such a short visit, it is good to take it all in and save it in small bits to review again and again.

Our worlds can be so full if we just open our eyes and see the small things, they are the things that make us grow, as are friendships across an ocean.

I loved the poem Paradox, sorta like walkin' in a cemetary. I hope all is well with you and coming round.

Gemma, I would love to wander down that inviting path or get a loaf from the boutique baker.

What a lovely part of the world you live in! I enjoyed all the photos and am fascinated at how much of your landscape resembles that of parts of California. I’ve not participated yet in My World Tuesday, but one of these days I’ll take my camera out to photograph places to share.
Hugs and blessings,
