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)

I like rain too, but we have had SO much here lately. I am sick of rain!

Autumn said...

Cold rain creates sickness though. Lol. We've had freezing cold rain for a week straight now, I miss the sun!

Soft refreshing rain or stinging lashing barbs - whatever, rain is good, is necessary, is a blessing - and it's good for the skin!

Rain depresses and ruins the yard.

I think our SIX WORDS are sort of traveling the same wave length today! Rain also freezes: see my SIX WORDS blog entry --> ICE CAPADES for the "See What I Mean."

Jenn@ You know... that blog? said...

I'm so over rain. Really, I don't want any more. Sun would be nice though... for a change!!!

That's a really cool shot. Love how the golden arches add a splash of color to an otherwise gray, rainy day! By the way, I love rain!

The McDonald's arches made me smile. Why anyone would eat there mystifies me, but your photo is stunning and the sign makes a great focal point.

I love the rain - especially if I can be hiding out inside.

Thanks for playing 6WS!
