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)

Time Out on Christmas Day!


If you are looking for a quiet corner of the world, away from the Christmas colours, here is a seat waiting for you.
It is by the waters of Port Phillip Bay at Dromana.
And the view travels forever!
Happy Christmas!

A little time out
Christmas is so beautiful
But it's time to breathe



Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is hosted by Magical Mystical Teacher, Chubskulit + Gemma Wiseman

G'day friend, not looking much like December here in Iowa, but no snow makes us all smile none the less, but at only 28 degrees, it's a crisp, sunny day before Christmas for us.

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas day and are taking a break away from the rat race, I'll be doing the same...so have a wonderful day Gemma and I'll see you next year!

Sister from afar...xoxoxo

The blowing wind whispers the joy of the heavenly moment, while the earth in bliss yearning to mark the day of the divine birth. Wishing you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. God bless.

Oh, yes, it is Christmas Day already in your part of the world--and a time-out is probably an excellent idea!

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR

It’s that time of year,
The shadows make merry;
Fear not to draw near,
They’re no longer scary!

Restful indeed! Just the thing for we who have O.D.'d on Christmas.

Hey Harriet said...

Oh how perfect! This time of year is all so busy with lots of rushing about, it's nice to find a quiet spot to just sit and be still!

I hope you and your hubby are enjoying a lovely Christmas day together! Merry Christmas Gemma! xo
