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 rain we've all been waiting for has finally arrived - soon we'll make the same complaint...

This picture reminds me so much of Oregon during the Winter and a big reason why we sold our house and began our traveling life. It's hard for me to remain cheerful and upbeat in constant grey.

I know some creative people like the rainy days and, in fact, most of my kids don't mind it nearly as much as I did.

Nice take on the prompt! :)
