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)

Spring Leaves


A view of various tree colours in Spring at Balnarring, Mornington Peninsula

The colours of leaves
Like whispering jewellery
Spring's accessories

Yarra Red


Strange feature by the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne
On this overcast day, this seemed to glow with colour!

Fiery symbol
Like a burst of flaming light
Brightness on grey days

Cool Surfers


Even though the weather is still very cool, (it should be summer!) surfers still manage to brave the surf at Rye Back Beach, Mornington Peninsula

Where the sands charm seas
Wherever there are cool waves
Surfing temptation

Shadowless Flight


Strange how the cockatoos on the verandah cast shadows but no shadow from the one in flight

Shadows of morning
Wings finding refreshed flight paths
Questions of the day

Secret Sign


A different kind of sign embossed on the pine hedge near the entrance to the Enchanted Maze Garden at Arthurs Seat!
(It was difficult to photograph with all the cars parked nearby and I'm not so tall either to see over them when the sign is so low! It seems to be at this level so that you can easily see it at windscreen height!)

Look very closely
A gentle touch of welcome
Working with Nature
