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)

Another Rainbow This Week!


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.

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A crow did some flying and another cockatoo landed looking for bread!

A rainbow and wings
Winter afternoon heaven
Colours for dreaming

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.
