THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
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)

I am ready for a trip to the beach!Happy Blue Monday ~ Susan
Beautiful!
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.
Summer is my very favorite season. I love the sun and the beach!
That does look like a beautiful day at the beach!
Very nice---my sister and I visited your beautiful country about 4-5 years ago---we went on a cruise to New Zealand and Australia---just wonderful---would love to come back, but doubtful--money being the object----come visit me at my blog---I am new to this and am just learning--leave a comment--thanks
I could so happily be there. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
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.

Blue skies, warm sands, and cool waters what could be better than that on a Monday?
afraid our beach never looks that warm and inviting, but sure wish it did.

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.
