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)

A Splash of Ruby


Just as I was going to take this photo of the youngster swimming, another youngster dived in the water near me.
I jumped (not in) because of the splash, held on to the camera and ended up with this photo!
It's odd but somehow I like it!

Last summer waters
A splash of warm happiness
A child's joyful smile

The feeling of motion, the splash adds to the fun. Happily the little guy is wearing a flotation device for safety (and RT!), his watery recreation is fun for him - and the photographer, too!

Can't wait to go boating and swimming, that's for sure! That's one happy looking kid!

Happy RT!
