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)

Awards! Awards!



Tracey of Hey Harriet has awarded all her Shadow Shot Sunday participants with 2 awards. (I am a regular Shadow Shot participant!)
The Brillante Weblog award was handed out on Sunday 21st July and the Arte y Pico award was given just today!
~
At first, I felt I didn't deserve the Brillante Weblog award, but it looks so pretty, so I have changed my mind! (Ooops Tracey! You must think I am mad!)
~
Tracey is just fantastic! She encourages all her participants in Shadow Shot Sunday with bright and breezy comments! It is a joy to visit her blog, not just for her Shadow Shot meme, but her comments on the Brisbane, Australia art world. And even her grumblings about cold winter are entertaining! (Not much longer Tracey and it will be over!)

Tracey is a Libran as I am! Maybe that's why our "craziness" clicks so well! Ummm but I think I am a tad worse than her! I am quite sure I've had more years of practice!

I would like to pass both awards on to Sharon of Sweet Repose in Iowa. Her blog is a delight to visit! She lives in a fairytale pink "chateau" (with Scratchy her dog), creaking at the seams a little, (I mean the chateau!) but that is all part of her intriguing personality! She is an antique junky (Sharon has new energy saving techniques! Read her commode posting!) and has just embarked on a poetry fling that is simply awesome! Check her out and be prepared to smile!
