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)

Art of Wine on the Vine


Pics by Gemma Wiseman ~ Beautiful landscapes at a Red Hill vineyard, Mornington Peninsula
~
Odd Shot Monday
~

Wine on the vine in
A tapestry of
Boldly coloured
Living
Rolling
Parallels
Beneath
Sponged
Blue skies is
A landscape made for
Relaxing on a
Dreamy Sunday afternoon
~
But add some
Eccentric
Whimsical art
Nonchalantly
Gracing
The dining terrace
The hillside walkways
The secret lake and
The world of wine becomes
A timeless
Fantasy world
~
The perfect escape

Gemma, it would be great to walk around that vineyard when it's time to harvest.

There's an award for you here.
I hope you like it.

Enjoy the week ahead!!!

The vineyards could well have been taken near here, but then it gets odd with the art.

What stunning photos! Great blog too! I've really enjoyed looking around!

So sorry I missed thanking you for the lovely Sky Watch comment you left on my blog the week before last. I've just been catching up on things and hope that you'll take a moment to stop by and see my contribution from last week too!
