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)

Now that is certainly dotting your 'i'...too cool and I bet it feels cool as your summer wears on...

We are having more snow for the next 4 days or so, it's a very wet pre-spring snow, miserable for shoveling Scratchy's pee path!

But we all know that only a month is left of the dreaded winter's grip, then the memories of the dirty white stuff will all be forgotten...well at least until August, then I start that inner knowing that it will be upon us again in no time.

Why do I put up with such a miserable cycle, when I could be back in Florida living the dream...who knows what the morrow will bring!!!

Hope you're not working too hard these days, as your Fall approaches...at least you have the sea to retreat to, to refresh and recharge the psyche! Soon I'll be rolling in the grasses(mowing)and loving every minute!!!

Sad times for my Daughter, her Father is in his last days. I'm running the shop so she can spend every living moment with him...she's doing quite well, after all, she's strong like her Mother...and knows life moves on...!

Have a great week ahead dear sister and be well...

You are hugged from the states!!!

The corner arcs and circle leave nice radii, the details that add character to the straight lines we notice, too. An elegant shadow, it replicates the artistic wall that creates the shadow. Nice!

A lovely shadow! A lovely poem!

Love your strong shadow Gemma! Shadows do make us very curious as to what they are sometimes!
Have a great week!

Hey Harriet said...

Love the mix of the big bold shadow shapes and the more delicate grassy shadows. Nice how you manage to find such interesting shadows around your local shopping centre! Have a great week Gemma!

What a beautiful photo! I like the splash of grass on the left. The crosswalk adds an interesting dimension as well. What a funky shadow!
