I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

You have some beautiful photos.I hear Australia is a lot like Texas. Probably not as pretty. Is it Wednesday there already? Have a great day.
Great shot. He doesn't look so tiny though.
:-)
I once had a dream, a long time ago...that I, as a young girl in pigtails, was walking down a brick path and a huge crow flew up and led me down the path to the light of the sun...and I felt free, smiling all the way.
What a calming dream it was, as my Mother was such an overpowering figure in my life, I felt free of her grip...the crow has always been my friend, the bringer of happiness and new beginnings to my world. It's there all along, we just have to be awakened to it by our guides.
I love to paint the crows, would you mind if I borrowed your image to sketch?
Be well, friend...sharon
Wonderful shot! I love how I can really see his eye.
The crow against the brick was a great sepia choice.
Aaww, poor lonely birdie! Nice sepia tone! Happy Sepia Scenes! :)
he is so sweet!!
