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 shot - autumn for you, while we are in the midst of spring.

The autumn seeds...well, I can't resist the urge to blow on it and watch 'em fly away! You know, like a kid would do to a dandelion?


Here is my Macro Monday...Penelope Pelican, if you'd like to stop by to visit with me today!
