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)

Poefusion of the Seasons


Collage by Gemma Wiseman of Spring and Autumn on the Mornington Peninsula

Poefusion Friday 5 ~ autumn + sovereign + subtraction + distinction + nectar
~

Seasonal sisters
Autumn leaves like falling wines
Bright ruffles of Spring
~
Distinction of time
Cool decline and warm nectar
Beauty of contrasts

Opposite landscapes
Subtraction and addition
Absolute beauties

Sovereign women
Natural alter egos
Life's Poefusion

NOTE: This is the last Friday 5. Michelle of Poefusion has been a wonderful hostess, so, in some small way, I wanted to use her last prompt as a celebration of Poefusion.

I like the first two parts the best, I like to think the change of season brings something better for us, the changing leaves & the cooler weather has their own beauty, distinct from spring but just as wonderful
