Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ I can't believe that another rainbow appeared today in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula!
But now, where's there's a rainbow, there is wildlife.
A wild cockatoo still only had bread on his mind.

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
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)

Great shots. Looks so unreal.
My Window Views is up.
Wonderful photos, I love birds!!
Gosh, those shots are gorgeous. Nature must be so beautiful where you are.
I've never ever seen a wild cockatoo. And I haven't seen a rainbow in ages!
Thanks!
The rainbows are a sign that all will be OK. After your earlier posts about drought, they are so, so welcome!
Oh, Gemma! Those are lovely! I love that one shot of the cockatoo with his crest up and the rainbow behind him... never get between a cockatoo and his meal, I always say. Well, I *will* always say it from now on! :-)
I love your shots Gemma. I'm particularly taken with that magpie and his contrast against the rainbow. I think it's so cute to see that cockatoo with the bread. He's so cute. Hope all is well.
Wonderful rainbows and the way you shot it behind the beautiful birds is sheer poetry.
loved this post, you must feed those beautiful birds on a regular basis.
O M G!
The BEST photos EVER, Gemma.
I need to sit down and enjoy them.
Brava!
