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)

Oh dear friend, I can feel the warmth in your summer skies. There is nothing better on Earth, then to wake up as the sun rises and feel the warmth on your face, as the warm breezes float through your hair. Then in my neighborhood, a rooster crows faithfully every morning to awaken our senses...ahhh...life is good!

What a wonderful view you have from your veranda, so inviting, wish I could sip some tea from your space and we could visit like fast old friends...we are dreamers aren't we!!!

Much love from the States,

I have to remind myself, as we freeze here in the north, that some on earth are experiencing summer. Makes me feel warm just to think about it and view your lovely photos.

Indeed, so nice to see reflections in this window which overlooks some of the nicest areas in Australia.

I'm envious Gemma. I can feel the warm summer sun in your reflection. We'll have our turn one of these months. Thanks for your kind comments at my place.
