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)

They do have a grapelike look! I love the gnarly twisted trunks that evolve with age.

The wisteria does look like juicy grapes, makes my mouth water! I've never been close to wisteria. Is it a fragrant flower?

It looks just like what I saw at the Summer Palace in China a few months ago. It's a beautiful flower that sadly does not last that long.

Heavenly smell for such a short time. One of my favorite flowers.

My post is of my sweet little granddaughter chasing shadows.
