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)

autumn meets spring...


It's not so unusual to see blossoms at this time of year - if you live in the northern hemisphere.
But I live in the southern hemisphere.
It is Winter.
And this tree is covered in blossoms alongside the last of Autumn leaves.

autumn links with spring
while winter hovers a round
like a summer dream

Beauty of Blossoms


Last of the Spring blossoms on fruit trees? that have managed to weather our wild season.
These blossoms seemed to barely last at all this year. Too many cold and grey days.


Delicate beauty
Like a child's tiny cupped hands
Like tiny prayers

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

Blossom Shadows


I liked how the flowering tree cast a spray of shadow patterns on my neighbour's car!

Shadowed Spring blossoms
Like a tossed bride's bouquet
Summer love awaits

But It's Winter!


This afternoon, I took this photo of blossoms just emerging in my garden.
An incredible sight seeing that our world is rainy and still locked in Winter!

Weekend Nature #9 ~ Winter Blossoms?


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Not so strange to see a few blossoms on a tree.
But it is strange that these blossoms have been appearing on the top of one tree in my garden over the last few days in the middle of July - in the middle of our Australian winter on the Mornington Peninsula.

White whispers of Spring
Yet Spring is so far away
Strange phenomena
