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)

Love this - particularly as summer is just around the corner up here.

Today was a first - gardening in shorts!

Looking forward to Summer here in Kansas. The school year is winding down, the town aquatic center readying to open...hard to imagine it is Fall in your southern hemisphere, but probably a welcome change! Everything has its season.

Hello, thank you for dropping by and for the awesome comment. It is quite amazing to see such beauty from 2000ft, loved every minute. I love your first view of your blog, so majestic the swirls and colors. Love your photos too, especially the cockatoo and the sky. Most of all I really like your poetry. Couple of years ago I had a spiritual awakening and my poems flowed, they were great. Thank you for sharing your pics, will be back..Have a Fantastic day and week ahead, I am Ozzie to.

Great picture. It is starting to heat up here in the Phoenix area. We will soon need to head toward California and the beach or at least out in the back yard to the pool.
