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)

Silvered Autumn Waters


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On an Autumn afternoon, there was an eerie light carressing the waters of Port Phillip Bay at Anthony's Nose, Mornington Peninsula

Great contrast and composition, and what a lovely horizon, wow!

I found a hint of sadness, some weariness, a regret or two...

Beautiful photograph, as always! I like how you are able to come up with a haiku for each photograph too.

Sara Chapman said...

Quite a beautiful photograph. The light is lovely, not eerie! To me, anyway.

What a serene seascape, I may on that note retire to dreamtime...busy day again today with grooming dogs in the morning before I head out to the new shop...but I do love what I do, cause I get to steal moments away in my gardens, ever expanding prairie wonderlands. I grew my garden larger by 4 feet on each side, cause the strawberries are taking over...yumm!!

I putter in it every spare moment while waiting for my customers to arrive, savoring every second!

The mall manager told us she is having lots of phone calls wanting to know when we will be open...the maintenance men say they are starting to smell sweet scents floating down to the other end of the mall.

After puttering in the veggies and flowers for a bit, I have dinner, then sit for a bit of TV, then immediately fall asleep...rejuvenated, I head for the kitchen to brew 4 batches of soap that will be ready to cut in the morning...
then I'll get up at five and do it all over again...and love every fragrant hour that floats by!

Am I nuts...well yes, but I must take a moment in time to write my dearest friend down under, then it's grab the dog and head for the sack...must enjoy this magical weather as long as I can...have a great week dear friend!...don't work to hard...I'm thinkin' of ya!

Hugs...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
