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)

The Art of Rain


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It's amazing how a little rain on an ordinary dark concrete pathway creates an interesting work of art.
This photo of my front path was taken as storm rains last weekend in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula were easing.

He ran out of paint
and, using raindrops instead,
swirled them on sidewalk.
