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)

Sports and Sporting


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It's amazing how teenagers interpret the sport of running.
It may be a professional, serious stride along the track.
It may be a "keep pace" jog.
It may be the chance to take a "piggy back" rest once in a while and enjoy the fun.
It may even involve taking a sight-seeing detour on the road not taken.
Wonderful to see them chatting along the way, no matter what house colour they represent.
A few broken rules, but it's still sport and sporting ~ and entertaining.

I'd rather be the on riding on someone's back than the one having to carry them! =) Nice take on the theme. Mine is here.

Like Elinor (above), I'd like to be the one riding instead of the one toting. Nice sport for this week!
