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)

Wild, cold, wintry storms
Yesterday gathered bleak wings
Today smiles with light

Seagulls are perfect models for Monochrome pictures.
Like to see them, it reminds me a few months ago.

That's great. I love the way you caught the wing spread on one of the seagulls.

Lovely mono. Nicely caught with the wing spread.

Gulls really lend themselves to the B&W treatment. Good pic.

The gulls look good in b&w!

I love to see sea gulls, in color or b/w, they are so pretty. They remind me of summer visits to Maine to see my grandfather.

I'm playing twice this week.
Hope you can stop by

Your mischievous black and white friends are always a delight to watch, I miss the seagulls and the sounds of their desperate call for food...gleaners of the seashore, begging and consuming as always and forever...

I hope your packing is not getting you down and you two are doing well.

They really have fun. Not a care in the world. I love to walk the beach and see all the varieties of shorebirds. Thanks for sharing this.
