I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

Blue and white porcelian is the first thing that catches my eye at the flea market or thrift store.
These are lovely Gemma!
Ceramics have such a clean look when they are pure white and cobalt blue. Lovely.
Love them both, but especially the windmill!
I think that shade of blue is really great!

I have a few who have travelled with me
