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)

that's a nicely composed image of a little feathered friend all focused on the task at hand and unmindful of its environment.

The waves looks inviting to me:-)
I have a friend in Australia who is hurt (hit by a taxi) and in hospital there.. it`s so far away from Norway..
Wish you a blessed day:-)

He looks quite adorable with his ruffled feathers and blithely ignoring the rest of the world.
