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)

Autumn/Winter Surfing is a Blast!

All year round surfing
Some have boundless stamina
Some need craziness

I spent some time watching surfers while we were in Hawaii last month. I'll be sharing some surfing pictures, too, one day. I like your surfer picture; good action shot!

Like children surfers 'don't feel the cold'. They've got their love to keep them warm!

Girl, where do you find the time...and energy?

I've been on the go all day, grooming dogs till noon, making 4 batches of soaps for the store, off to pic up a piece of furniture purchased Sunday, back to the store to display merchandise bought, back home to paint furniture...and I was saying where do you get your energy...never mind!!!

I hope you're feeling better this week...no time for sick...right!

Have a great week dear friend...I think I may have to go collapse!!

Hugs!

That's a great shot you got here. It does look fun, but I think I'd rather sit on the beach in the warm sunshine and watch!
