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)

What tangled webs we weave...good thing we're not responsible for our shadows...they have a mind of their own. This shot looks ever so inviting into your world...a warm wonderful entanglement.

Happy Mums' Day Gemma!!!

Warm hugs from afar...

Hey Harriet said...

Oooh very sweet shadows in your dining room Gemma. And as always I love your haiku! I hope you'll be participating in Elizabeth's Haiku Festival. I'll go check the list to see if you're on it. You compose the best haiku! Have a great Sunday :)
