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)

Soulful Mists of Autumn


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Mystical Autumn skies in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula ~ from last year's Autumn archives

Scenic Sunday #86
Carry on Tuesday #43 ~ From the Beatles:
Each day just goes so fast
I turn around - it’s past

~

Each day spins so fast
Whirlpool spiral of seasons
Colours in meltdown
~
I turn slowly round
Weathered energies have past
I'm locked in limbos
~
The mists of autumn
Like wings in soft magic skies
Soulful enchantment
~
Scenic Sunday

The sky has that autumn feel to it! Autumn is my favorite season, but up here, spring is just around the corner.

I thought your choice of subject was right on the mark! The words were so carefully chosen...or maybe they just come to you as did your talent. Either way the words and the image were beautiful.
