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)

Passing Thoughts #9 ~ Vision Gardens, Bittern


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Today I visited a newly opened garden centre called
Vision Gardens.
I pass it each day on my way to and from school and I've watched it emerge,
like a butterfly from a chrysalis.
It is a place of romantic wonder.
Delightful plants wait in a unique setting with interesting outdoor artwork.
And indoors, there is a giftshop of artwork and an atmospheric cafe.
I dream now of somehow using my photography and haikus there!
(Create a blog updating the garden centre and linking to the website?
The gift shop?...hmmm)
And dreams can tumble into reality, can't they?
I will be visiting again!

Where the dream may fly
There my spirit flies also
Welcome to my dream
