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)

Trunk Art


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A bit of a strange photo, but it has been raining recently at Mornington.
The rain deepened the textures and colours of this tree trunk.
I had to capture it.

It does look very arty! I'm so glad to hear you're having rain. I hope this means you won't have a repeat of last year's severe drought.

I really like your choice today. Wonderful SOOC.

I was thinking "trunk show". Duh! That red bark is beautiful.

Love the photo and the title. :D

Thank goodness you are getting rain...how well I understand. But, if I have my facts right, you have been in an extended drought for years. Our drought seems to have broken; when looking outside to see the green every day, I am thrilled -- it is lush, cool, and inviting. Instead of having no grass and top soil blowing across the yard, we have grass which requires a lawn mower every week.

I hope you have the same experience. :D
