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)

The bird almost looks as if it's made out of porcelain it's so perfect!

Judy said...

I agree! The light refracted by the water creates the most interesting patterns, and in the clear water of the pool, they do look like diamonds!

Lina Gustina said...
