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)

Fresh Identity ~ Celebrating My First Digital Photo

Love mystic mornings
Shrouded in tiers of grey lights
Waiting for voices
Like a hushed moment in time

Like life living a first breath
~
I am mystic wells
Laced in ancient grey questions
Waiting for voices
Like strange haunting memories
Like new risings of old realms
~
FOOTNOTE: This is my first digital pic taken from the verandah of my home in the first lights of morning.

Love both your photo and the words. I hope you enjoy your new camera as much as I enjoy mine. I carry mine everywhere I go. That way I don't miss out on that many pictures. Have a nice weekend.

A dream like quality to this, in word and image. Especially how it catches the light.
