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,

The contrast between the delicate flowers and the solid frame of bars are lovely elements in this precious piece finely weaved together by your aptly chosen words in haiku form.

Such a lovely angle in a phtograph.

Such a lovely perspective in words.

Such a lovely imagery you graced our senses with your gift.

Note: I'm taking a break from painting and trying to stay away briefly from my easel. I thought of dropping by.

I wish you well.

~ Jeques

Love the contrast between the soft vibrant rose petals and the cold metal bars.
