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 would give anything to be right there in that beautiful water at this COLD moment. It is such a happy shot, and makes me think about what is awaiting all of us come summertime. A wonderful post for those of us freezing here in the mountains of VA.

Nice shot Gemma with all that twinkling water.

We too are still using a heater in the evenings. One of our rare blustery and cool summers with as yet no major heat waves. The roses love it and have put on quite a second show.

Enjoy your summer days until we get another Antarctic blast!
