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)

Out of season rose
Lonely white hope in Autumn
Seasons entangled

Gemma,
It was so nice of you to drop by. I truly enjoyed meeting you. Your blog is a feast for the eyes. You have such a gift for capturing natural beauty. I'll be stopping by again.

Smiles,
Jane

ps i will share the recipe for the pomegranate, mint lemonade when I get it tweaked. I had this at a local restaurant last week and fell in LOVE!

What a gorgeous rose! There are still lots of roses blooming up here in Brisbane but it is starting to get cold so I guess they will be fading away soon.

Best wishes,
Natasha, Stacey and Holly.
