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)

Good choice. I think there is quite a bit of leeway available on the this PH theme.

Now this looks like fun..

Leslie said...

Love your pictures Gemma - have a good weekend. :)

Looks like they had fun!

Gemma, that's a beautiful picture. I haven't touch sand in ages! I went to San Francisco, but their beaches is not ideal for swimming in July...the water's too cold.

I bet this beach is far from cold.

I thought the kid on the left was buried in the sand! Either way, I'm sure the two boys had real fun together. Thank you for the visit!

Pok Dell said...

They really enjoy the sand. Hope they didn't buried themselves in the sand. It's to close to the water and a bit dangerous I think.

Stop by and view my two totally different versions of 'together' for this week. Happy Hunting!!!!

Great shot of the boys playing together in the sand. Happy weekend.

Boy, they've really played hard together in the sand - to dig a hole that deep. Wonderful snap shot of life you've captured here and the perfect choice for our together theme this week.

Sandy beaches are the best babysitters!! (Speaking from years of experience LOL!) - Beautifully captured, love the seagull that's eyeing (or is it eying??) the boys! :)

on first glance, I missed the boy in the hole - then I had to giggle because as a kid I was usually always the one in the "hole".
