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)

Blue Rain


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Collage of a rainy afternoon in the Balnarring carpark, Mornington Peninsula

One Single Impression #70 ~ Blue Rain

Watery cool scenes
Juices of the clouds well squeezed
Blue moods for grey rain

Blue rain for grey moods
Life blood of the soul rung out
Teary streams on ice

Blue raincoat cafe
Secret rainbow hideaway
New blue rain design

Gemma, your drought is three years old, we are now only in our second year (Mid Texas).
I'd like to find that secret rainbow hideaway. I think it would be peaceful.

I really like the way color and water and life flow in and out of each other at the same time.

I love the fluidity of interior and exterior landscape, the oasis of blue raincoat cafe. Lovely progression.

Love the sound of your blue raincoat cafe, and the sight of your rainy day photos.

Rhythm and blues.... Great words there, and an awesome "flow" to it!
