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)

Magic Quills

Sometimes
There are views
You simply love
For no particular reason
~
There is busy clutter
No real focal interest
A wish-washy mire of indefinite colour
And it all seems cramped into
The nether regions of
A no particular somewhere
~
And yet
There is something about
Those feathered quills
Resting in foamy tides of the sky
Resting innocently above a tiny snippet of
A child's world
That makes the whole confusion
Simple
Magic

Looks very early.

My similar poses are opportunistic, didn't see it until after Stephen took it. It is a bit fuzzy but he isn't used to my camera.
