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)

Dogs can convey gloom very explictly.
Happily they also de the opposite with great gusto.

Good photo Gemma. :)

Beautiful dogs. I've actually seen many more dogs than I expected. I was expecting crying children this morning. I didn't realize dogs looked so sad while waiting on their masters or is that look patients. Great photos.

A certain patient sadness and anxiously longing for the owners return but likely soon to be replaced by excitement and unrestrained joy.

Nice photo's.

Poor sad dogs! They'll be very happy again once their owner comes back.

Sad dogs - they always look sad when waiting for someone to come and get them, but how their expression changes when they see those who love them. Happy weekend.

They are such cute dogs. They must be really patient as well.

Aw … I missed this last week, but am glad to catch it today in the OSI feed. It would have made a good Camera Critters post too. My Sad Photohunt was at Sacred Ruminations, but today’s LAZY PH is at Small Reflections.
Hugs and blessings
