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 Raining!!!!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ To some, this may appear to be a rather ordinary photo.
But this, to me, is a glorious sight.
The roofs are wet with rain.
Beautiful, rainy mist is rolling in, so you can barely see the Mount Martha peninsula on Port Phillip Bay in the background.
This is our first rain on the Mornington Peninsula since December 2008!
What a glorious, scenic Sunday!

Scenic Sunday #33

Pale rain laden skies
Landscapes blurred with grey heavens
Stranger in the mist

Scenic Sunday

Yeah, this is something for me too, coz rain means that it cleanses the aura of the place.

I love rainy days too. I love the smell, the sound of the falling rain, everything. I could watch raindrops for hours without getting tired. Just lovely!

How marvelous Gemma. Wow that is quite a long drought. Oh what a wonderful day to simply enjoy.

We have been in a drought also, although not as severe, but, still when it does rain here it is a day of celebration for us too!!

Happy Rainy day!!
