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)

Wonderful haiku and photo ... reminds me of a quote I read this morning at Sylvia's ... "One of the virtues of being very young is that you don't let the facts get in the way of your imagination." ~Sam Levenson

Lovely portrait! I bet he's wishing for warmer weather so that he can play in the waves. I know I would be! Kathy

Children are the reflection of our lives if we would only take the time to engage and see. Beautiful photo Gemma.
