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)

Macro Raindrops


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ There has been a lot of rain over the last week or so in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
So I have had to learn to take some creative, "odd" photos.
Of course, somewhere there had to be some macros of rain drops!
But I'm not complaining! We need the rain so desperately!

Raindrops on dry leaves
Like bright glistening jewels
Like new found treasures

Great shot of the rain on that plant. We've had rain the last few days so the sun is a welcome change. Hope all is well. Have a great day.
