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)

Little Garden Bird Bath


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This Dromana garden ornament seemed lost in netting and plants.

So I decided to play and offer the raw version and a focus version thanks to Picnik!
