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 when people really get into the spirit of the day by dressing the part.
What a fine portrait! So much character in her face.
Excellent portrait. This reminds me of the colonial reenactments around here.
Stunning portrait. I love it!
I agree with D'star. A good'un.
Love seeing her friendly face...
Her bonnet looks like the one I made for my daughter for the commemoration of the French Revolution in 1989 in our village;o)
Thanks for sharing your beautiful pic;o)

such dignity you've captured, mob cap and all:)
She looks tired, but happy. An excellent candid portrait.
Excellent portrait! I like when people age naturally. They are so beautiful without botox and cosmetic operation.
I agree with Karen...she looks like she's been working and wanted to sit and rest a bit.
Nice portrait, she's looks like a friendly person.
