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)

Spring Blossom


Apricot tree blossom in my Spring garden in the Dromana Hills.
Hopefully there are more hours of sunshine than we have seen for weeks!


  White blossom dancing
Expectation of Springtime
Like white fairy wings

Tree Trunk Patterns and Textures

A variety of patterns and textures in the shedding bark!
I am always fascinated by the huge range of features in the trunk of gum trees!

Wild and Beautiful


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It is Spring in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula
And many of these flowers (they are tiny) are growing in the grass verge near the road right along my street.
I have no idea what they are called, but I love them.
