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)

Shadow Fronds

Shadow Shot Sunday #47

Fragile shadow fronds
Like fingers dripping loosely
Lost piano keys

POSTSCRIPT @ 8:30am today!

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A miracle happened this morning.
5 kookaburras appeared!
We are sure they belong to the family we fed in our former home at Arthurs Seat.
They really have found us!
My beloved partner called them and one landed right next to him and asked to be hand fed!
That must be a miracle for Easter Sunday!
Happy Easter to all and may a miracle find you too!
P.S. I was shaking too much to get a photo of the hand fed one!
This is just a photo of 2 kookaburras in our gum tree.
Poor misty light surrounded them but they were visible!

I love the look of the palms, such a tropical feel...of warm climes and beautiful flowers, you almost know the sea is near...and what a sunny, yet shaded porch to sit in and listen to the piano play our days away...

Big hugs Gemma...

Hey Harriet said...

An Easter Sunday miracle indeed! Those kookaburras must be very attached to you guys to follow you to your new home. What a lovely story. And a lovely shadow shot too :)
