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 is the flower you've got to let grow...


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A flower growing in a pot on my verandah.
Another plant is there, and suddenly as Winter began, this one appeared.
In fact two of them appeared.
They are a little like wild spirits loving the romance of life.

Love is Mother Earth
Gentle rich soils nurture life
Rain is a blessing
~
Love is the flower
Inner senses awaken
You've got to let grow
~
Spiritual warmth
Romance of moon and sunlight
You've got to let glow

combination of flower and the natural effects of the surroundings like light, shadow and anything around it, makes the photo very interesting.
