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)

Another garden
Changing tones of keyhole light
Another insight

My world is many gardens in many lights. There are sky gardens, gardens of the sea, gardens of the earth and gardens of the inner spirit. My blog home is walking the fine line between inner and outer worlds ~ always looking to right and left, comparing the two.

Very creative. Excellent haiku. You are very talented. Came over also for Skywatch but got much more in the bargain!

Linda Jacobs said...

Your haiku says so much! it's true that on different days and in different seasons the same view brings different insights.

And your prose about gardens is beautiful!

I like the idea of having different gardens. And isn't there always something to tend?
