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 looks like he is coming back in and has slowed down. I like the movement in the water. :-)

Hi Gemma!

I've always been so scared to ride one of those. One of my friends is coming to town in May and said I could ride behind her to get used to it. Maybe I will like it - I like roller coasters, after all ;)

w00t! It's WEDNESDAY!

I am sure that is fun, but I have never tried it! Not sure I ever will, prefure to swim in the water! :)

I like the way you captured the wake as the boater approaches the dock.

Maggie May said...

I wouldn't like to be in that dinghy. I don't swim!
Enjoyed your music when I called over here.

That's way too small of a thing for me to feel safe out in the water!

It looks like it may have been cloudy that day...

Such a simple moment, but makes an interesting watery image with the wake!
