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)

It's not important
Dotting the eyes to cross tees
Fairways of blank pages

Fickle importance
Communication high wires
Inter net twitters

It's so important
Tantalising lights of skies
Moving fingers write

It's just surreal to me that autumn is tip-toeing into your world and your skies beautiful as always, don't show it...I'm so anxious for spring, but am so weary of summer storms, we've had so many disasters, one wonders just how we manage through them all, picking up the pieces along the way.

After a tornado 2 years ago destoyed a small town right across the highway from my home, I'm super careful to watch the weather channels and will never leave the dog home alone again when I have that funny feeling. Funny how animals know...and they say humans are superior...hmmmm...

Have a wonderful weekend Gemma...

Thanks for visiting my blog.

These are lovely. I love the light lighting up the clouds and painting them in soft tones of gold, pink and silver. Great captures.

Have I ever said I love your header too.
