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)

Duck Dreaming

A duck loves walking
Walking in light rain
Walking with friends in light rain

Ducks in Wonderland

A duck loves wet grass
Wet grass is a feast
Wet grass is delectable

Duck heaven on earth

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Another duck portrait

But there's always one
One who is different
One who wanders in lone thoughts

The Dreaming for ducks
