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)

Mixed feathers by waves
Winter is a time for warmth
A time for closeness

Certainly a time to huddle together. Looks like their foraging for the last remnants of food too. Have a great day.

I would say: oposites attract :) Sea guls are such amazing creatures to observe.

Makes me wish I'd followed my mind and gone to the beach today. :-)

I really like your bird/water shot.

Marvelous shot! Methinks the only way I'll get photos like this is to leave Molly at home when I walk on the beach ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

Great capture Gemma, it gives a moody sort of feel to it!

I still can't get over the fact that you are in the middle of your winter and here the temps are just starting on their way higher and higher.. as is the humidity. In many ways the winter ocean shore is much more calming... unless there is a nor'easter. Then the waves churn and the sand blows with such force that if feels as if you are being sandblasted.
