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)

Great find but your Haiku makes the photo! Lovely.

Hoping that the "81" will be a lucky number for betting. ;p

Cool license plate. Good for you for spotting it.

Dolphins dressed with Santa hat? Why not!

Nice haiku and photos.

Hope indeed! Nicely done.

My first Ruby Tuesday.

And why not dolphins? All we see up here is reindeer. While the hooved reindeer is a noble symbol, the warmer water mammals could still pull an aquatic Santa sleigh...I think!

Dianne said...
