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)

Remember freedom

Great shot and beautiful quote. I always liked it because it is so true.
Come over and see mine - if you don't go through Mr. Linky to get to my blog then please scroll down when you get there for the sepia shot. Thanks.

The sepia sentiments are well thought. The birds come and go, but are appreciated when they stop by...

Wise words.

I love that the birds are tucked into the corner of the photograph. They do love to visit on your porch if I remember correctly. It's a very inviting and comforting scene.
