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)

Elusive

One Single Impression #87 ~ Elusive

Once we longed for rain
Indoor freshness and coolness
And now there is rain
~
Now we long for sun
Outdoor happiness and warmth
Elusive balance
