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)

Bright splashes of pinks
Skitterish flurry of wings
Moment of glory

Gemma..you write so vividly even when leaving a comment. I wish I had that gift...This meme has helped me to find others who find nature to be a healing touch in their lives... This bird is so colorful. We don't have anything like that in our area with the cold winters...Thank you for participating in Nature Notes.. Michelle
