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)

As we ready to say good-bye to summer, you remind us that spring will come again.

Gemma,
What a wonderful way to document the emergence of Spring! Getting cooler here in the States as we head into Autumn.
I have not peeked in on your blog in a while. My mistake. I will be back more often!

It really amazes me how opposite our seasons are. I can't wait for our fall season and colorful leaves to come as I am sure the arrival of buds bring you so much pleasure at this time.

Your side of the world comes to life as ours takes its rest. Very, very nice.

Like the others, I love the reminder that as our world prepares to sleep, yours reminds us that spring will come again! And your very lovely photos are such a delightful reminder! Lovely post, photos and words!

Enjoy your day, Gemma!

What a wonderful spring post. So much going on in your part of the world. In my world fall (autumn) approaches. I enjoy reminders that we don't all have the same seasons at the same time.

Gemma, Gemma, what a beautiful flowery world you have there.

Yes, Spring is here! To get out and savour our garden delights. But am having trouble with hay fever at the moment as a result of the windy days in the last few days.

Beautiful spring post Gemma. Lovely drenched blossoms and flowers and a delightful shot of that cheeky Rosella.

What lovely blossoms (luv the water droplets on them especially) and wonderful haiku. With our heat and wildfires here in So Cal, it's marvelous to be reminded that Spring will return eventually.
Hugs and blessings,

Spring! How cool for you! We are nearing fall. :) I love that bright bird!
