Winter Wildflowers Amid Desert Plains

A riot of colour, unfurling the plain, as you drive the vast ways in Australia. Vivid and broad, the landscape is changed painted in hues of the flower. Viridian and gold, violet and blue the dirt itself is red, sets off a contrast, a vision of hues, no other place on Earth - homebred. The Queen of Sheeba, occupies the space as the everlasting colours transform, the majestic camouflage of winters embrace, defies the rules of the tundra norm. Deprived of water, for the desert's their home, they challenge the grace of the source, emitting small buds against the furious loam, life's promise, a powerful force. Life will out, and new beginnings begun, a testament to hold in wonder, for winters drought, under our burning sun, cannot deter these flowers down under. 25/10/2018
