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)

Duelling Realities


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The dog is on the inside of the car and all the remainder of the image is a reflection.
I liked how the dog's ear seemed to transform into a small tree!
The photo was a desperate effort to take something in spite of the fall of rain - again!

Weekend Reflections #46

Odd transformation
A dog at one with Nature
And the rain still falls

A moody yet sweet take on the theme Weekend Reflections, Gemma.

I see two different pictures, here. One is as you present it. The other has dark branches reaching up to grab the dog.

I love that you saw his ear as a tree, so creative
he has such a sweet face
like a little child wishing the sun would come out

Good one.

Nice portrait Gemma. I can almost feel the dog's longing to be outside.

Poor cute friend, I think he wants to go to home and stay warm and safe in some chair! :)
Wonderful shot, you did a great job with your camera.

May be he is listening for his owner to come so they can go home.

So you have wet weather too? We had rain the whole day.
