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)

Nature's two faces
Passing parade of Autumn
Green everlasting

the contrast is nice and I do love the poem. That's the nice thing about blogging--all the interesting people, all over the world and for a brief moment I get a glimpse into your world.

Sometimes the beauty of a color just bursts my heart. Your camellia leaves did that to me this morning.
