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)

He has a nifty little shadow too...isn't it funny that we see the shadows in every shot these days, thanks to Tracey.

The roses are just fabulous, what ruby red. The flowers and avian antics make your world just an exotic paradise to me. Don't know about you, but I just can't go anywhere without my camera, what did we ever do without digital...and the internet...wow, how did we survive??? I guess we just waited for the mailman to deliver that wonderful letter from a love or a friend...simpler, slower times.

Have a wonderful week friend!...and hugs!

I wonder what those silver gray dreamings are!

And a tardy sunrise is such a cool way to describe it!
