Through my Lens

Summer Morning ......

~  Henley Beach Jetty  ~

Jetties are always interesting places on a summer morning

people fishing - diving off the side 

 or just leaning on the rails pondering what the day might bring

Country Roads .......

 Roaming around sunburnt country roads

 in the Lower Flinders ranges of South Australia
reminded me of the poem "My Country"

" I love a sunburnt country

a land of sweeping plains

of ragged mountain ranges

  of droughts and flooding rains"

                                                                              Dorothea Mackellar  1904
