This is a wind-blown, wild cockatoo on my verandah in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
(He fascinates me because he has a broken wing, which won't fold down but he manages to fly quite well!)
The dramatic look of shock in his pose symbolises how I feel right now.

Bonnie Bonsai of Australia: Quadrat in Focus (to name one of her 20 amazing blogs) has awarded my blog the Bella Sinclair Award for Art and Inspiration!
(She records her many awards in a separate blog called Appreciation Award Blog.)

I feel so humble because all I try to achieve here is to let people enjoy some time out, seeing and thinking about non mainstream, quirky sometimes eccentric ideas.

Photos combined with poetry aim to touch a cord for just a moment, and having touched move on.

I would dearly love to pass this award on to so many bloggers.
Some I know very well and some I am still discovering and exploring.
But, for a long time now, one particular blogger has walked with me through blogland and shared many lights and a few shadows.
She inspires with her love of the land (past and present) through her poetry and photos.
She is a modern day gypsy with a home known as the Pink Chateau.
She is my "sister" blogger in Iowa.

Oh my God...you are a true sister of the soul...you are the one that inspired and encouraged me to write and through teary eyes I thank you so very much for that...to never have met a person, but to feel so soulfully connected is a true gift...this is the meaning of love and friendship, even a world away.
Again, thank you so much dear friend...I wish I could give you a great big bear hug!!! I'm honored to call you friend!!!

Congrats on your award. It's well deserved. Love the picture of the cockatoo with its broken wing. Hope all is well.
I also loved the ships and poem that showed up in my reader but isn't here on your blog... funny how that happened. Anyway, liked it very much. Have a great day.
That is very sweet of you Gemma especially with your sweet recognition for Sharon of Sweet Repose. I'll visit her to say Hello. It's nice to have a kindred spirit from the other side of the world!
You just walk out your door and see cockatoos?! Awesome!
What a cute cockatoo. Perfect for MYM!
