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)

Hi!
Beautiful! If you look at that tree long enough it looks like a giant caterpillar. Have a great day!

I'm not sure where they were trying to go with it. Sherrie sees a caterpillar but I see a dinosaur. :)
The most intriguing Yard Art yet!

You found some natural yard it. I love it!

My plants usually don't live long enough for me to train them!

Have a great weekend.
