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)

Weathered But Not Broken


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Lots of zooming here (so not a really good photo) to get this yard art near the front entrance to a Dromana Hills home, Mornington Peninsula

Like a tattered clown
Well weathered but not broken
And he's still smiling

new here following from YAT. He has a bit of old charm left in him. his poor balloon seems to be loosing air. I like that he has no makeup, for a clown. Maybe it is worn off? that is what makes them creepy to many. if there was never any makeup than he is just a cheery old soul with a balloon to share!
