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)

No sun for us today, this Thursday in Iowa. This raining grey blanket gives time to post, staying inside cozy and warm, I just look longingly at the sun peaking through your clouds and on your glistening seas.

Be well my friend...sharon

Good Morning Gemma, I love your haiku. It certainly fits your pics. I especially liked that second picture. It added some strong character to the water/ sky. Defined it more. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day. Happy Sky Watching.
