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)

Patched Reflections


This is a photo taken at the end of May this year.
The Dromana carpark has looked like this for several days a week since!
The amount of winter rain on the Mornington Peninsula has been amazing.

Crepe Paper Worlds

PhotoHunt prompt ~ wrinkled

Puddles are like
Magic caves
Holding
Hollowed
Shaved
Wrinkled sounds of
Shapes and colours
~
But puddles
Scattered through
Irregular
Blades of
Grass
Create
A manuscript ~
A damp parchment ~
A glimpse of
A crepe paper world ~
A twisted
Star gate
