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)

A Little Water Goes a Long Way


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Magpie on my verandah enjoying some water from a bowl.
As we have had so little rain (till recently), we always leave out bowls of water for the wild life.

A Wild Thing said...

I just love your bird pics, you just grab so much detail in every shot. I have two baby squirrels to add to Scratchy's dilemma, but they are so cute to watch.

I opened another blog just for my jewelry and soaps, it's Called 'The Wild Thing'...so me aye...Since I closed down my web site, I thought I'd do a blog for the other stuff, making it more visible and easier to get to.

Things seem to be a little slow out there in blogland, must be because of all the warm weather we're having, you just can't drag me back in the house...ha! My sweet corn is up 4 inches, as is everything else on my plate...yayyy for summer!!!

Talk to ya later friend!

That is so very generous of you. With a kind hearted lady like you, Magpies do know how to say Thank you too!

Cute subjet for the photo. A touch of domesticity.

The Right Blue said...

We provide water for the wildlife in our area, too. Sometimes we think the birds, especially, appreciate it more than the seeds we put on the feeders for them.
