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)

Soft Reflection


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Even in the cooler months, seagulls seem to enjoy swimming around by Dromana beach, Port Phillip Bay.
Pale sunlight creates a soft reflection.

A Splash of Ruby


Just as I was going to take this photo of the youngster swimming, another youngster dived in the water near me.
I jumped (not in) because of the splash, held on to the camera and ended up with this photo!
It's odd but somehow I like it!
