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)

Morning Love Song


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Early weekend morning on Dromana foreshore, Mornington Peninsula.
These two women appeared to be mother and daughter. They were wheeling a stroller between them with a tiny baby inside. The stroller was being pulled rather than pushed, so that the glare of early morning sunlight did not fall directly on the baby's face!
But the most beautiful part of this family scene on the Dromana foreshore was that the two women were singing, in beautiful soft harmonies, a lullaby!

Seaside lullaby
Soft ebbs and flows of music
Sweet morning love song

What a beautiful photo, a very reassuring shot in such an uncertain world...that one can still sing when chaos is all around.
