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)

Dear Gemma--
I've never seen a calendar like that either--it's beautiful. Looks almost Buddhist or eastern in flavor.

Beautiful poems as well--thank you for the reminder of the circularity of it all--

I will never view eternity rings in quite the same way again.
