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)

waves of glass...


I took this vase out onto the verandah so that the sunlight could have some fun
creating patterns of light and shadow


waves of glass
feel the playful warmth of
sunlight

Like a Lilac Gem...


I do not know what this flower may be. It simply has a gentle beauty.

Like a lilac gem
Touch of coloured happiness
Glowing quietly

Purple Beauty


Spring flower still emerging in my Dromana Hills garden.
I think this is a daphne, but I am unsure because the scent is very light.

Sweet purple beauty
Like Nature's mystic candle
Lighting the day hours

Artland

Inspire Me Thursday prompt ~ Purple and Orange

In columned folds of whimsical purple drapes
Pressing down from skyworlds
And buoyed by earthy orange ochre pillars ~
Final bastions
Of dusky
Dust ~
Even in artland
There can be just a little
Natural
Reality
Squeezed into
Possibility
