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)

Heaven Scents

Word Pool Wednesday #2 ~ coutryside + rose + sunshine

Strolling some lonely countryside beneath weeping sunshine meant that heaven's door was tightly closed today. But even naked spaces were better than chilled dark alleyways. I may taste scents of a summer rose.

I do so love roses. We haven't had much sun at all here so this makes me dream of a perfect day. Great photo.
