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)

Critter Realities

Camera Critters #17

Cosily ensconced
Regal watcher of traffic
Bearded lone wisdom
But all is not as it seems
Reality fluctuates

Ensconced on jet skis
Languishing in silent pose
Alternate wisdom
All is now slowly revealed
Some reality wavers

As "Louis" writes this, he can look across to the high rise condos on the other side of the courtyard below his own 14th floor perch and see a fat grey cat gazing lustily out the window at the sparrows flying by. No doubt the cat is trying to figure out how to get out the window and at the birds - without falling 14 floors....
