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)

Purple wired blossoms
Earth's gems gathered on a tree
Like sparkling Earth stars

Looks like spring at your house! And that flower (azalea? rhododendron?) does look like a jewel! Just lovely!

Happy Spring to you Gemma. It's lovely to see blossoms in another part of the world when we are waiting for Autumn. Super photo!

The stamens do look like little beads, the way they are such a different colour from the petals!
