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)

Here in Louisiana, we are heading into summer -- and into Hurricane Season. Katrina, Rita, Ike. Those 3 hurricanes left a deep, ugly impression on me.

Autumn is my favorite time of year, so it is no surprise that it the favorite season for my two major heroes, Samuel McCord, and Hibbs, the bear with 2 shadows.

Have a healing week, Gemma, Roland

great poetry there and I like the way you look at things and think of the season, I used to think autumn is windy and gloomy now I think of autumn as bright and flower still in full bloom, thanks to you. Thanks for the visit too, I appreciate it.

Bundled against chill
sweeping in from ocean waves—
beach lover reads still.

Choose some yellow:
