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)

Gemma, You're the first Blue Monday person!

The blue shacks are thrilling. I like the fishy one.

Lovely blue colours. Thanks for the visit. So you don't know the name of my flower either, though you live in Australia. But this flower is probably not growing in your area. Anyway I love its colour.

I love all the lil' beach houses. 'Back in the day' the Victorians would change from their long dresses and suits to their bathing suits in these little cabins at beachside, called bath houses. What is their purpose down under and what kind of little boats go out to sea from them...curious and curiouser...

Hello Gemma, I love your take on 'blue Monday' I think blue dishes, clothes, skies, etc. Why not blue sheds by the water? I think they are bath houses. Very cool.

Hugs...Jeanne
