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)

A Summer Toast!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At last!
2 days in a row that feel like summer in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula!
To celebrate, I loaded a blue hued wine glass with ice cubes and photographed it on my verandah railing with the backdrop of the blue waters of Port Phillip Bay!
Cheers!

Watery Wednesday #18

The chill of ice cubes
Glistening blue waters beyond
It must be summer

It's very cold here right now, so I don't think I would want a glass of cold water.

But the shots are so good!

My Watery Wednesday image is posted here. Have a great day.

A toast to your beautiful days. I hope you get more of them. If I had a view like that I'd be wishing for them too.

Cheers! I like the haiku - and I like the second picture best as there is more of the blue sea and sky. It's freezing here in the UK, but I know that summer will come...

Great creativity. I can imagine a hot summer day near the water with a cold drink, just reclining in the shade.
