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)

Like shimmering wool
Threading the sky with
Lucent dreams and
A magic carpet for
The journey

A cloudy morning
Blooms with
Brightness

I like the photos--the sky and reflections in what I assume are tidal pools

To the ordinary eyes, clouds are just clouds and nothing else, some would not even notice this tapestry that God created above us.

For you with trained eyes to see beauty, you were inspired to weave words to create lovely tapestry that capture such a lovely site in a moment. And for that you made the difference.

I wish you well.

Gemma, great shots! I love the one on the angle... unfortunaely, in my case, a cloudy morning is the death of all things unstable... very little comes of it...
