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)

Ribboned with melting colours
The magic of rain

Beautiful. I'm so glad your dry continent is getting so much rain this spring and summer. How nice it would be if you had no drought this year.

I do so agree with EG about the rain and no drought!! Gorgeous skies and matching words as always, Gemma! Have a lovely evening and a beautiful tomorrow!

Good job on two rainbows! They can be harder to capture.
