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)

Winter Flowers at Flinders


Winter flowers quietly blooming on a misty Winter's day at Flinders


gentle winter blooms
like soft brushes of colour
like a quiet dance

There's an air of mystery in their look. Well, that's just me, but I enjoyed looking at Charming.
