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)

side mirror beauty...


while waiting in the car (out of the rain) for hubby to return from the Dromana shops,
I noted this side mirror on the car next to me ...


humble side mirror
claims a shining moment
in the rain

Nature's Secret Swirls


It was raining again, and I was desperate to take photos.
I wandered on my verandah and noticed that leaves fallen there from the winds
seemed to be surrounded by small "mounds" of water; almost like water embossed on water.
So I took photos to see what this would look like in macro.
Here is the result.
It's not a reflection but is it a refraction?


nature's secret swirls
transient gift of
the rain

Colour in the Rain


Plant on the nature strip at McCrae on the Mornington Peninsula


a small piece of life
do you long to dance and sing
as you soak the rain

Red in the Rain

 
Even in the rain, distant reds still seem to shine through.


A blurry moment
Mistified with heavy rain
But any red glows

Height of Haiku Challenge ~ Rhythm


When the car is parked in the rain and you are sitting inside the car, it is amazing to see how rain rhythms constantly re-create the regular shapes and colours outside.
Here, the red car looks as if it is suffering ongoing battering and the front of the mall behind looks like a passing wave!
Then there is the overall misty effect!

Haiku Heights #87 ~ Rhythm

Changed shapes and colours
Rain rhythm on a windshield
Re-shapes outside worlds

Raining in My World


Raining and raining in my Dromana world.
Even the Dromana Hub carpark is rather empty for school holiday time.

Watery Wednesday #148

Grey and rainy worlds
A kind of loneliness
A kind of silence
