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)

Kookaburra Enjoys a Water View


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Here is a boat on Port Phillip Bay watched by a kookaburra.
The photo was taken on the first real Spring day this year from the mountain top gardens of Seawinds, Mornington Peninsula.

Kookaburra view
Laughter muzzled in the trees
Life softly sails by

How beautiful...laughter muzzled in the trees...I can almost hear the little fellow laughing '
'back atcha'...

Hope your week is going well, it is quite cold here, we are all awaiting a few days of Indian Summer, the last bits of warmth before ol' man winter squeezes the life out of us! There is ice in the birdbath...now that's cold!

Had a moment to pop in and see what you're up too, stay warm and think Spring...me too...though it's far away for me(too far)!!!

Big hugs dear friend!
