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)

A Little Magic!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sweet Repose scents of magic
~
Today, a little Sweet Repose magic found its way to my Mornington Peninsula.
Even though it had travelled all the way from Iowa
It arrived well composed
Waiting for some shaking delight
To venture through
Sweet little boxes
Bubble wrap
And a few vagrant pieces of foam.
~
Mini winking treasures
In a cave of shadows

~
When each wonder was finally revealed
The moment needed a lens
To hold the magic
Together
~
An old baker's basket
Some verandah textures
And the frenzy of scents and colours
~
Tantalising
Smiling
Tableau
~
Balm for the spirit
