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)

Fantasy Dolphin


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ I love my blue glass dolphin. It sits on a window ledge to capture all the moods of light outside. The result is often a magical blue glow ~ sometimes soft and subtle and sometimes quite vibrant.

A splash of sea blue
Like a fairytale dolphin
Leaping in light beams

You have a million dollar view from your veranda...with dolphins and cockatoo, I'm afraid I would never want to leave, just drown myself in the beauty of the inlet.

How lucky we all are in so many small ways, but having eyes wide open and knowing, makes it all worth the ride.

Hope you're having a wonderful week. It's sunny, but quite cold here, but it didn't stop me and Scratch from driving around in the city taking pics of historic homes and Manley's Antique Shop, one of my favorite things to do(since cabin fever set in)...ha!

Hugs,
