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)

remembering summer days...


it seems but a short time again, these were the sunny days tempting some time at Dromana beach...
Now there are endless winds, rain and cold...


was it yesterday
when beach worlds seemed
so inviting

Red Friend


My little red umbrella is getting a work out with all the weeks of rain we have experienced.
Here we are waiting for a heavy downpour to pass.
We have taken shelter under a picnic pergola at Dromana beach.
Then we'll keep walking.


My shelter of red
Together we travel rains
On a photo quest

A Drop of Red


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Even on cool summer days, there is always someone drawn to the magic of sea and sand and sky!
And a red beach umbrella on Dromana beach looks like a glowing light!

Cool summer beach scenes
Like gentle drifting magic

A Little Red in the Rain


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Just recently, I accompanied some Year 11 and 12 students to a Careers Expo at Caulfield Racecourse, Melbourne.
It was rainy.
As we were leaving, I took this photo through the huge windscreen of the bus.
