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)

Soul Food


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Today's winter Sunday (in between rain showers) at Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula
~
Scenic Sunday prompt #5
~

Give me an entree of
An exotic morning coffee
~
Give me a main course with
A liberal dose of
Golden sand
+
Misty
Dreaming mountain
+
A glittering sea
~
(With a smidegeon of spicey
Boat sheds for colour contrast)
~
Then
For dessert
I would be quite thrilled
With the blue fruits of sky
Topped with well whipped
Cream of cloud
~
And my well-nourished soul
Purrs with
Heavenly
Contentment
~
(Ummmm
Perhaps
One more coffee
For ultimate bliss!)
~
