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)

Sailing on a high to begin my 3rd year of blogging!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It's a great day!
My new Canon PowerShot A2000IS allows me to take zoom photos like this of a boat on Port Phillip Bay from my back verandah in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula!
I have never been able to capture this detail with my old but trusty Samsung!
I don't even mind the wires!
And it's also a great day because David McMahon of authorblog has just invited me to be interviewed for Sunday Roast!
I am really sailing on a high, right after celebrating my 2 year Blogoversary yesterday!
Yahooooo!

Sailing with a smile
It's a bright new blogging year
New dreams are nearby

Hi there..That looks like you can really zoom in there. I had trusty Nikon for years then finaly went digital -mine is a sony cybershot..I can't zoom in distance too much but I figure one day after this is worn out or mastered maybe I can pick up another? You certainly have a nice view! I bet your having fun & hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by for the vid and that too-
