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)

Blue Patch


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Under grey skies, this blue board behind a hoop seems quite bright!
Even the crows seem to like this blue part of the world!

More than a blue board
A bright patch under grim skies
Sport waits in the wings

Bleu patch, blue catch, nice shot... I love the crows standing by... Are they waiting for the rain ?

Loves from France.

Seems like they are waiting for a little ball game...or a storm, whichever comes first!

That sky is great. Looks like rain is on the ready!

The simplest things can have their moment of recognition. This is great!

The blue backboard is a welcome change from the white we usually see. I also like the red one further back. There seem to be lots of birds in this week's meme.

Really love your haiku with this one!
Looks like the board in the back in painted opposite of this one. Both must make for a colorful court.
