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)

It was the best of worst times...

Carry on Tuesday #35 ~ This week our prompt is part of the opening line of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

~
Spending summer time
And it was the worst of times
Ragged with worries
~
Rocking heatwaves
And it was the worst of times
Drowning in sorrows
~
Rocking summer time
And it was the best of times
Surfing horizons
~
Spending heatwaves
And it was the best of times
Just me and my dog

We could use a little heat right now. The water looks choppy, like maybe a summer storm might be coming. But it is a very enjoyable photo. :D

We have too many problems at the best of times, yet we smile through the worst of times...

Up and down,
hot and cold,
but surfing horizons
and spending heatwaves,
sounds amazing!
