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)

Breakfast Routine

PhotoHunt #139 ~ Breakfast

Fast food of morning
Melee of tip pour and spread
Eating on the wing

But there are some wings
Graciously window gazing
Waiting for service

I love the way you've combined these two activities this morning, wonderfully weaving them together with Haiku. I combined them (less creatively) at Small Reflections and also participated at Happily Retired Gal too ... just because ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

How cool! A kookaburra at your window! However, I'm with Alice Audrey on this one - I'll skip the Vegemite, too!

Stop by and visit if you get the chance:

I love that bird photo - it is so funny. I've never seen one but I know about it from that childhood song.

If you have time stop by my Photo Hunt.
