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)

What a gorgeous reflection, Gemma!

And ... do you see the floating heart (near the bottom of the photo)? It's absolutely PERFECT!

A reflection that really has heart, Gemma, if you'll forgive me for saying so.
I love the duck - she looks so serene.

That's really magical: the beautiful duck creating ripples in the sky reflecting water. And of course the cute floating heart :-)
