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)

Lovely bright colours - but I do think it would give me a fright if I came upon it out walking in the woods!

I love those scare crow competitions. Some people are so imaginative. They have one up here at Melaney.

This scarecrow is a bit more sophisticated than the ones I'm used to. Very nice!

Hey girl...I still can't believe you are having spring...wonderful bee shot and a strange thing is happening here, I'm seeing bees everywhere. Scratchy and I took a drive to the wetlands yesterday and my truck filled with the lil' beggars. I love them and have no fear, Scratchy on the other hand was quite annoyed.

Love The Last Emperor, one of my faves! Have loved Peter O'toole ever since I saw him in Lawrence of Arabia, back in the day, just a hopeless romantic...

It's a beautiful Indian Summer day today, 76 degrees and the tinkle and woosh of the wind in the leaves blowing across my drive, is music to my ears. We won't have many more days like these, it snowed 6 inches in Denver today...so I hold my breath cause I know it's comin'...but I don't have to like it RIGHT...

Have a wonderful weekend, see ya at SSS...

Hugs...s
