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)

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sometimes in the haste to find lush green hills, blue seas and skies, pretty flowers and bright coloured Autumn leaves we overlook "other" beauties of Nature.
Here is the last sigh of a liquidamber, starkly wondrous against a pale grey sky.
