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)

I like the message you have above the comments box. :-) Beauty, Peace and dreams to you, too!

Iris is one of my favorite flowers. The color of the one you photographed is exquisite. Also a favorite - that gorgeous purple.

Ciao,
Gina

Such beautiful colours! I really like the two pinkish shades together, and the yellow in the middle!

Very nice shot. I like the way the lower petals are a different colour than the upper ones
