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)

Ohhh, what a pretty seagull! After taking shots of all the birds that live around here, I'm always happy to see a pretty bird. Great shadow shot, Gemma! :)

I really miss seeing the gulls, they are such a part of the sea life, but I did see a flock of white pelicans yesterday. Sailing in the high thermals, they come in and out of view as the sun catches their blow.

Thanks for the reminder.

This is one of the loveliest seagull shots I've seen! I like his proud looking pose, the ruffled feathers & how the shadows frame the little guy. The b&w is so effective. I hope he managed to find some tasty crumbs :)
