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)

Black and White Worlds Together


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The rare occasion when a black crow dares to try feeding next to white cockatoos.
The moment lasted a few seconds.
The cockatoos won.

Great photo. My cockatoo did not like other birds around either. I miss her. You are so lucky to have them even though they can be destructive. and noisy. I love them.
