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)

Shivery swimmers
The legs are slowly willing
Minds are not so sure

A Beach for All Seasons

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Wintry Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula

Inspire Me Thursday prompt ~ Beach
~

Winter lights of ice
Softening waters
A beach where summer lifetimes
Whisper from far days
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Windy, wintry Dromana beach
~
Feathers
Even the stalwart
Suffer wild ruffled feathers
In the windy chills
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Beautiful winter light over a wintry Dromana beach
~
But lights are magic
Like limpid dreamscapes
The soul wings in sheer delight
Riding the sky waves
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Walking Dromana pier in the final lights of day
~
Sunset
Sunset pale pastels
A last walk on the cold pier
Winter smiles linger

Stop! Drink the Moment!

Pic from Top Left Pixel ~ the beaches, by the Lake Ontario, east of downtown Toronto.

3WW Prompt #LXXXIII ~ picture reflected stop
~
Occasionally
A picture tells half stories ~
There are rare moments
Of deep reflected secrets
When there's more than meets the eye
~
Summer's sands are iced ~
Surf is a flurry of snow ~
Slipping tired fencelines
Drift silently to somewheres
Locked into magic white earths
~
But frosty landscapes
Arced, tangled in grizzled shapes
Are ribboned in light ~
The humble path is a stop
To walk in a rainbow sky
~
