THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
WINTER is the shadow, the etching of the seasons in the mist
WINTER is the fire, simmering lonely in the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
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)

Great captures of the Cockatoos Gemma! I really enjoyed the visit with them and your eavesdropping on their conversation ;-)
It's amazing seeing those birds outdoors. We have two pet ones that we love.
