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)

Beauty of Tears


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ View from my front verandah, Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula. Spring/Summer has disappeared for now. There is just beautiful mist and cool, light rain. Fantastic weather to be inside packing boxes! Grrrrrrrrrrr

Sadness of parting
Collect the beauty of now
Move quietly on
