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)

birds love a rock...


little cormorant and terns love this rock just offshore from Schnapper Point...

a water bound rock
begs to be loved as
a special island


and one loves his own rock...

Alive


Wandering rocks at Mornington

Rocks have crevices
Routine's not being alive
Take time to explore

Haiku Challenge #24 ~ Dream Walks



Even round life's rocks
Dream walks wait for those who seek
Always tread slowly




Written for The Haiku Challenge 2012 - Day 24 – February 24th – Words: Dream Walks Thanks to Rachana Shakyawar of Humming Today because the phrase 'Dream Walks' was coined from her poem

Sacred Sand Space


At Rye Back Beach on Westernport Bay the strange shapes of green-capped rocks right on the water's edge fascinated me!

Micro gathering
Rocky mountains and valleys
Like sacred circles





Highlight Sunday is hosted by Tina at PicStory

Weekend Nature #25 ~ Rocks on the Move


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Parts of the shoreline round Port Phillip Bay are crumbling into the sea.
These rocks are at Schnapper Point, Mornington.
I found the work of Nature fascinating ~ shaping and colouring and moving the rocks.
~

Nature rules the Earth
Man may try to re-shape but
Nature rules the Earth

Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Mossy and "sponge-like" rocks edging my garden in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
In the middle of the collage are "treasured" rocks that have travelled with me for many years.
