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)

Creative Soul Food

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A large kitchen window with reflected view of Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula

Creative Photography Contest #5

A kitchen is the place where coffee mornings begin
Where timeless cereal crops wait for a harvest
Where an oven
Slowly bakes
Meats
Rich vegies
Sweet desserts
~
A place to dine on soul food

Hi Gemma!
I love your reflection photo! Great Job...My favorite place to be is with friends, family or both around the kitchen table having something warm and cozy to drink and listen to all the old stories from our childhood.

Good Luck, I enjoyed looking at your blog! I have had company for 3 weeks so I have alot of catching up to do, so I will be back to read more of it.

Blessings,
Kimmie

What a view from that kitchen. The best place to enjoy friendly conversation is around the table. With that view, the conversations will not ebb because such a view will invite talk...
